Music video
editA music video directed by Nicholaus Goossen was released on May 1, 2018.[5] Shot in black and white, it uses a 1950s theme as well as inspiration from the sitcom Leave It to Beaver and the film Pleasantville. It depicts Bhad Bhabie as the daughter of a family watching television in their home. Bhabie and Yachty appear on the TV screen in color, rapping the song.[6][7] While the parents are disgusted, their son is interested in the performance. A milkman (played by David Spade) arrives to make a delivery, but is cursed at and dismissed by Bhabie.[5][7] By the end of the video, the family becomes fans of Bhad Bhabie, with their appearances changed.[5]
