The Goon with the Spoon entrepreneur gives insight on why he wanted to use a marching band “Most people don’t know that I was part of a marching band for most of my childhood, so I definitely connected with this beat,” 40 tells Billboard. “But I just wanted to create another slap for my fans sprinkled in with a double entendre for everyone working hard to earn those bands. Shout-out to everyone at Grambling involved in making this video come to life.”
The video has various cameos from Offset, Gucci Mane, Future, and Floyd “Money” Mayweather to name a few. E-40 gave back to Grambling State by donating $100,000 to the marching band and creating a recording studio as well, which will be named the Earl “E-40” Stevens Sound recording studio.
