After seemingly striking up a nice relationship after appearing as JKF in Lana Del Rey’s new ‘National Anthem’ video, American rapper A$AP Rocky has confirmed that the singer will feature on his new album.
Both artists are relatively new names to the music scene, and now seem to be using their ascending fame to help each other out - with ‘Video Games’ star Lana Del Rey asking A$AP Rocky to appear as a black JFK in her new music video. Now, A$AP Rocky will return the favour - by having Lana Del Rey feature on his track ‘My Bitch’, a track set to feature on his forthcoming debut ‘LongLiveA$AP’.
Speaking to Vice’s Noisey, Rocky told of how he got the gig playing JFK in the ‘National Anthem video: “Lana wrote the treatment with me in mind. She wanted me to be the lead guy. She wanted me to be the main guy and she wrote the treatment herself and came up with all the ideas. She came you with all that shit herself. And this guy Anthony Mandler shot it with some old cameras and shit to get the 1960s look and they had a set of extras. They had so many extras there, Interscope paid so much fucking money for this video that it’s not even true.”
He then added: “She’s gonna be on the song ‘My Bitch.’ It was gonna be called ‘Ridin',’ but it’s actually ‘My Bitch’.”
You can check out the ‘National Anthem’ video below.
