Music video
The music video, directed by Henry Scholfield, was released in March 2019, featuring Stefflon Don, Paul and Elba, with a young actor, Brooklyn Appiah, appearing in place of Wiley. Idris Elba delivers his verse in a mansion that includes a film set. Scholfield said that he wanted the video to feel like a competition between the artists "competing for lyrical screen-space" to give the "vibe of bigupmanship and a visual riff on who's the boasty-iest".
