Kanye West Joined DJ Khaled, Rick Ross in Miami for Hype Williams-Directed Video Shoot

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Back in April, DJ Khaled promised he had a “monstrous earthquake” of a collaboration coming up with Kanye West, and that turned out to be his Kiss the Ring single “I Wish You Would,” which also features Rick Ross. Both ‘Ye and Rozay joined Khaled on set in Miami this past weekend, where they filmed a video to accompany the track.

MTV News was on set for the shoot and caught some behind-the-scenes footage of the three rap titans, who sported some of their finest gear for the Hype Williams-directed clip. Khaled and Ross were dressed in black with plenty of leather, dark sunglasses and jewelry to accent their wardrobes, while Kanye, not surprisingly, turned things up a notch by adding some red-and-white leather pants to the mix.

For Khaled’s video, all three rappers took a turn filming in a narrow, graffiti-marked hallway, but Kanye brought extra energy to the frames, swinging from hanging beams in the warehouse space while delivering his verse.

“I just wanna thank Ross and Kanye and We the Best, YMCMB, MMG and G.O.O.D. Music for supporting this amazing video, because it’s gonna be historical,” Khaled told MTV News of the clip. “It’s one of them videos where the world’s gonna love [it] and the streets are gonna embrace it.”

Khaled, who recently collaborated with West on the single “Cold,” has a unique working relationship with the rapper/super-producer that results in no-holds-barred music. “On my end, I got this thing with ‘Ye where I tell him there’s no rules and there’s no regulations,” Khaled told MTV News back in April. “It’s no format, and ain’t nobody gonna tell us nothing on what we’re gonna do.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
