Tyga and Justin Bieber try to escape their daily lives and spend time alone with their girlfriends in the brand new music video for “Wait for a Minute.” The Young Money rapper and teen heartthrob grab their ladies and run from screaming fans and paparazzi as they chase after them through a concrete maze.
The R&B styled tune, produced by Maejor Ali aka Bei Maejor, was originally recorded for Bieber, but will now serve as the first single off Tyga’s upcoming album The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty.
“The prevailing theme of the song is fame, the overwhelming demand for Justin Bieber and Tyga’s time and attention,” director Krista Liney told Rolling Stone. “This concept explores being famous through the eyes of these artists. Everyone is after them, everyone wants time with them, everyone wants to bask in their spotlight. Every moment of their lives is scheduled, including taking a moment to breathe. They are chased, they are exposed . . . can everyone just wait for a minute?”
The video effects were inspired by The Matrix. “We got some of the guys that do CGI for some of the big movies,” Tyga told MTV News. “We’re freezing time and switching different worlds trying to get away from certain things—the negative that comes with the lifestyle.”
