December was an especially rough month for Troy Ave. In addition to being shot twice while driving in Brooklyn over the holidays, the 31-year-old rapper revealed he was dealing with a sex tape scandal. He went to Instagram claiming someone had stolen his laptop with the sex tape and was trying to extort him for $20,000; however, Troy wasn’t sweating it, insisting the footage was actually for an upcoming music video. Well, it turns out he was telling the truth.
On Tuesday, the Brooklyn MC dropped the official visual for his new track called “Sex Tape,” and, yes, it includes the aforementioned footage. Though the video does feature a cast of barely dressed women, it’s hard to ignore just how awkward and unsexy this whole project is.
We mean, why did the dude’s ankle monitor make a cameo? Who thought it was a good idea to put him in a Woodstock sweater? And, perhaps the most important question, why did he think any of his fans wanted to see him bumping fuzzies? Why, Troy? Why?
On the bright side, he did us all a favor and decided to keep his shirt on throughout the entire sex tape. We definitely appreciate that.
You can check out the cringe-inducing video above. We know you're curious.
