The rap duo gets their huge cruise destroyed by a group of vengeful past flames in the new visual.

Drake & 21 Savage just dropped the music video for their Her Loss cut, "Spin Bout U." Moreover, it tells a pretty over-the-top but dangerously entertaining tale of excess, love, loss, and revenge. While 21 and Drizzy enjoy their time on a lavish cruise, they find a woman drowning next to them. After saving her, the 6 God tries to get cozy but she drugs and kidnaps both him and the Atlanta MC. Then, more women arrive to steal their jewelry, tattoo thing on their faces, trash their ship, and eventually burn the whole thing down. A bit before the video ends, they even steal Drake's engagement ring necklace and execute him, while 21 jumps off the ship to try and escape.

Overall, it's a pretty ridiculous but also tongue-in-cheek portrayal of toxic love, much like the collaborative album it lands on. Also, this track was an interesting choice for an MV with this theme because of the Canadian superstar's infamous lines. While they're peppered all over the tracklist, "Spin Bout U" has some interesting bars about women and relationships. One of them is "Damn, just turned on the news and seen that men who never got p***y in school are makin' laws about what women can do." Also there's "Four words when I think about them is crusty, musty, dusty, rusty / Eight words when I think about us is f**k me, f**k me, f**k me, f**k me."

Meanwhile, the Slaughter Gang head honcho drops some more simple, but still lovey-dovey lines, at least for their standards. "F**k your main page, what's your Finsta? I wanna know the real you," he raps alongside typical bars about body counts, material gifts, and, uh, intimacy. Regardless, "Spin Bout U" is a really entertaining video that feeds into criticisms of their perspectives while having fun with its extravagance. In fact, it makes one wonder why there aren't more music videos from this album, but I guess the rollout's not over yet.

Speaking of rollout, 21 and Drake recently settled their lawsuit from Condé Nast for their fake Vogue cover promotion for the album. While the company sought at least $4 million in damages, no specific settlement amount was revealed. Still, at least it's another headache they don't have to deal with as they continue celebrating their collaboration's success. With all that in mind, here's hoping that we get a sequel to this wild and campy narrative from this new visual. Check out the music video for "Spin Bout U" above and return to HNHH for the latest on 21 Savage and Drake.
