He also spoke about working with Remy Ma for the music video: "It's so dope working with Remy Ma because she's a dope and funny individual and she's so professional. Getting into the studio with her, in the booth – I know why Big Pun wanted to make her his protege and invest in her coming up in the game. She's just an amazing person, and I feel like there was nobody else better to kick this new song off with."[6]
