(PCM) Rap artist Young Thug had some pretty big ideas in mind when he hired director Ryan Staake to create the music video for his song “Wyclef Jean”, however the end results ended up becoming a hilarious folly of errors when Young Thug failed to show up for his own $100,000 video shoot.
In fact, Young Thug is only featured in the video for a few seconds munching on some Cheetos in front of what appears to be a private jet. Those scenes were apparently filmed by Young Thug himself and only add to the hilarity of the overall project.
Young Thug’s label and management team kept telling the directors that he was on his way to the video shoot all day long, however once he finally did make an appearance on the set he refused to get out of his vehicle because … are you ready for this … his Instagram account got hacked! Oh no! We’re sure that warrants missing an entire day of shooting and costing the label a whopping $100,000 … glad Young Thug has his priorities in check!
Rather than just canceling the whole project director Staake decided to have some fun with the budget and put together a video the explains in great detail just how the original video shoot fell apart. The result is amazing and it is definitely one of the more creative disaster stories we have seen. The artist and label must have agreed because they still allowed the video be released and are probably now cashing in on some of that good ol’ viral fame!
Either way Staake made the best of a bad situation and the video below is brilliant. Check it out:
