According to Hip Hop Magazine, Ney The Bae, during her sitdown interview on SlikourOnLife podcast, shared that the reason they had to put the release of their music video on hold was because it was when the slain rapper AKA was murdered.

She said that the video had visuals of guns, and out of respect for the Mzansi hip hop community, they realised that if they were to drop such visuals, it would potentially trigger painful memories of what happened to the Supa Mega.

She said:

"We actually shot the video a few months later. We shot the “Thick Slim” video and it never got out. We shot it in January and then the unfortunate passing of Kiernan happened then we had to put it on ice because there were scenes that had guns in the music video.

Speaking to Briefly News, Anele said that she and Nadia haven't discussed if they should release the music video now but said if they do, they'll let everyone know:

"We haven’t discussed it yet. I think we have kind of moved on from the song. I still believe in the song, if it happens our fans and the media will be first to know."
