On being asked, "Are there any specific memories or stories that come to mind during the shoot?"

Durk said, "Jet skis. We had the camera on the jet ski, making the jet ski heavier. They told me, but I wasn’t really listening. When I got to speeding up, I flipped over with the camera. “[Drake] wanted me to go long… S**t, me too. I will f**k around and drop a freestyle now.”

Additionally, the duo also praised each other on their social media handles.
