During the video shoot he received heat for stepping on the American flag when the flag, used as a backdrop, fell behind him. He continued the shoot, rapping along to the music while stepping on the flag unintentionally.

He cleared up the situation on Facebook, stating it was never his intention "to desecrate the flag of the United States of America."

"The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground," he wrote. "In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song."

The Eif Rivera-directed video shows Weezy in his hometown performing and as he said, reflects on life in his hood. Standing at a mic stand in front of the American flag, a slow drumbeat is heard before Wayne begins to rap.

"My mind's filled with minefields/The ashes fall, the wine spills," he raps. "My country 'tis of thee/Sweet land of kill 'em all and let 'em die."
