Music video
The official music video was released on October 5, 2016. Based on Alice in Wonderland, it features Lil Uzi Vert and Metro Boomin as Mad Hatters, with the latter handling an MPC.[4][6] It was directed by Spike Jordan,[7] showing Uzi Vert walking into a door that transforms their reality into a fantasy, with "[women] strolling in their fuzzy Puma slippers in a tea party picnic filled with stacks of cash." As noted by Complex, in the video Uzi Vert walks into a "chandelier-filled mansion with lovestruck women following [them] around."[8] Uzi Vert's then-partner Brittany Byrd was among the women in the video.[6][9]
On May 9, 2017, an animated music video, produced by SomeHoodlum, was released to YouTube with the length of a minute.[10] It was described by The Fader as a "trippy cartoon" which features Uzi Vert "riding [their] four-wheeler down a street and off a cliff" alongside Boomin.[11][12]
