The music video shows AKA and Yanga Chief at a nursing home, trying to court a woman into dating AKA. The two rappers are shown slowly walking and dancing in a comedic way. The way that the diaspora could be represented is mainly through their representations of black culture. For one, we see the rapper courting a black woman, keeping his relationship within black culture and the black diaspora. In the song he also talks about how he loves the woman’s melanin, which is also a way of uprising not just black women, but specifically dark women. This is a song for black women, but it also celebrates black women, and black on-black relationships. The video not only does this, but incorporates some specific African culture dance moves as well. We see how the artist is leaning towards his roots in his recent music, which is something a lot of artist originally criticized him for going against!
