What do you do when you're meant to be directing a music video and the artist won't go on set because his Instagram got hacked?

Instead, he ended up making a video for Jeffery cut "Wyclef Jean" that is likely far more playful and innovative than any music video treatment.

Twitter was quick to praise Staake for his work, though some fans were confused as to why they were watching a Young Thug video with very little of Thugger in it.
