Kid Cudi Careens Off A Cliff In His Will Smith-Inspired ‘She Knows This’ Video

While watching ‘Pursuit Of Happyness,’ Kid Cudi gets the wrong message. …

Kid Cudi’s Man On The Moon III arrived overnight as promised, bringing with it his intriguing collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers and the music video for “She Knows This.” Presented as a short film, the video finds Cudi overlooking magnificent view from the balcony of a Hollywood Hills house before going inside to watch Pursuit Of Happyness (a clever call back to the first Man On The Moon). Suddenly, Will Smith’s voice switches from the movies’ dialogue to a personal address; Smith tells Cudi to “get off that couch and go pursue your destiny.”

Agreeing with the rap veteran, Cudi launches into the song as he stumbles around the living room, drinking, smoking, and yes, humming his way through the performance with a red full moon hanging in the background. Cudi then gets behind the wheel of a sports car to tear down the mountainside — not recommended under ANY circumstances, kids — before being chased by a cop cruiser and careening off a cliff. See? Don’t drink and drive. The video ends on a smash to black with a “To Be Continued” title card, which any millennial can tell you is a red herring. Rappers never actually get around to continuing their videos.

Watch the “She Knows This” mini-movie above.

My sincere apologies—I was really looking forward to seeing you all. I promise to make it up to you during the Chicago stops of my tour early next year. Stay tuned for details. BUT!!!!! My amazing brother/boss, Lil Wayne AKA the GOAT, stepped up for me so I wouldn’t have to delay my album. Catch him tomorrow at the Chicago show. I’m STILL performing at the #Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th and now added to the lineup for the #Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th. Album STILL dropping this FRIDAY. Thank you. Love you,” Minaj shared on Twitter.

Minaj, who has been building anticipation for Pink Friday 2 for months, previously hinted that the album holds one of her “best-kept secrets.” In a candid November post, she disclosed, “Last night when all the world was sleeping, I was up…missing you…a painful amount of missing you…listening to the intro track on #PinkFriday2…I wrote it for you. On Dec. 8th…when the clock strikes 12, one of my best-kept secrets & proudest moments will be unveiled.”
