Video: Young Thug - Wyclef Jean

New York-based production studio Pomp & Clout have delivered a surreal, fourth-wall-breaking video for Young Thug's tune 'Wyclef Jean'. The video was "co-directed" by Ryan Staake and Young Thug, although as is explicitly stated in the video, the two never met each other. The just-under-five-minute video is chock full of twists and internet age rockstar-isms, such as a hacked Instagram account and a bodyguard becoming uncooperative with police officers. 


The song's name sake, Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean, took to Twitter to express his fondness of the new video.
