Wednesday (January 23) would have been XXXTentacion‘s 21st birthday, had he not been fatally shot last summer. The controversial rapper left some unreleased music behind, including the Lil Wayne collaboration “Don’t Cry,” from September’s long-awaited Tha Carter V. Now, Wayne has given the solemn track a post-apocalyptic video featuring a spiky throne, a camel, and lots of sage.
The video, directed by Jay and Georgio Rodriguez, opens on Wayne in a snowy desert, rocking Louis Vuitton pajamas and chilling beside a camel and a couple belly dancers. The scene then moves to a dark castle that looks straight out of Game of Thrones, where Weezy peacefully sits atop his throne. Fittingly, the video also incorporates raw footage of X performing onstage, and comes to an eerie end when the crowd breaks into chants of “Long Live X.”
