The music video’s opening sets an intense visual experience in motion and gripping rap lyrics. Steph Curry is seen as a character wearing a bucket hat, grooving to the song’s rhythm. The video’s captivating visuals and Curry’s flawless lip-syncing made it difficult to take your eyes off him, even though the lyrics display Curry’s illustrious career and confidence. And due to his lip-syncing being so good, many people mistakenly credited Curry with delivering the intricate rap verses himself.
A spokesperson for the Warriors clarified Curry was only lip-syncing, not actually rapping, in the video after seeing people’s misunderstanding. Despite the clarification, some publications still wondered if Curry was trying his hand at rapping. But the genuine talent behind the verses was the skillful rapper Tobe Nwigwe. The lyrics penned by him portrayed a swagger in the song, presenting a side of Curry that fans rarely see.
Curry’s portrayal in the video was surprising, with jokes about carrying a gun and even a nod to a vintage Chappell’s Show spoof. The Athletic community even commended Curry’s ability to accept the lyrics and put up a show. He had everyone fooled right from the 7-foot giant Shaquille O Neil who assumed Curry has impressive rapping skills.
