On Thursday, October 4, DJ Khaled and Nickelodeon teamed up for the premiere of his latest music video, "Supposed to Be Loved" featuring Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, and Future. The video was Kidz Bop-inspired, and featured a group of child actors stealing the spotlight.
The video opens with Julian Shapiro-Barnum interviewing the kid version of Khaled, who won’t reveal who his crush is. The camera then pans out to show a group of four little actors playing young versions of the rappers.
The visuals remain lighthearted as the little version of Lil Baby takes a girl out for juice, nuggets, and fries, the child version of Future surprises his girl with a pet tiger, and the kid version of Lil Uzi trims a hedge into the shape of a dog.
The video culminates with Shapiro-Barnum interviewing the Nickelodeon kid actors about “what love means to them.” The single is part of Khaled’s forthcoming 14th album, Til Next Time. Khaled has yet to announce the release date for the album, but did release a four-minute-long teaser trailer in August.
In the Scarface-inspired visuals, Khaled talks about the hard work needed for success. “Success ain’t easy, you gotta want it. You gotta want it so bad that you’re willing to put everything on the line, even if you gotta risk your own life,” he said. “That’s how bad you gotta want it. Forget just wanting it — you gotta work. You gotta be willing to out-work everybody, especially the ones that’s standing in your way. Man, it’s hard. You think this sh*t is easy? I just make it look easy. I’m that great. In the meantime, Til Next Time.”
DJ Khaled's latest video is a great example of the power of collaboration. With Nickelodeon casting kid actors and the hip-hop heavyweights taking a break to let the children shine, the video expresses a great message of love and hard work. We can't wait to hear more from Khaled's upcoming album, Til Next Time.
