On The Sets: Drake Shoots 'Wu-Tang Forever' Remix Video With A$AP Rocky

A$AP Rocky on the remix of Drake’s ‘Wu-Tang Forever’? That’s what it appears like. A Noisey writer was able to sneak into the video shoot for the upcoming song last night in Harlem at a building named Watt’s Court. Most of it was held in secrecy and on a night when rest of the city was kinda busy with the Golden Globes, the Girls premiere, and the kickoff of Jay Z’s Magna Carta world tour.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Writes Lukas Hodge:

Once I was above ground, I managed to gather enough information to figure out that the shoot also included A$AP Rocky and was for the upcoming video for the remix for “Wu-Tang Forever.” After scouring the area, I found nothing. As I headed back to the train, defeated by Drizzy yet again, I saw large crowds gathered on both sides of the street all looking towards the entrance of a seven-story apartment building named Watt’s Court. Cops were blocking the sidewalk off with yellow tape, and for a moment I wasn’t sure if this was a video shoot or a crime scene. It quickly became clear there probably wouldn’t be teenage girls screaming “Worst!” if it were the latter.
