Music video
The music video for the remix was released through Young Thug's official YouTube channel one day later, on November 1, 2019. In the video, Young Thug appears as a fireman, and Gunna is shown rapping in a burning house.[4]
Synopsis
The video opens with a marching band led by Wheezy, the song's producer, on a gridiron football field. The video then transitions to Gunna writing in cursive as the house he is in continues to burn down, Young Thug then receives a call to help Gunna as he is on fire inside the house. Young Thug puts on his fireman gear and drives a SlimeF.D. truck to the scene, and finds Gunna "calmly writing a note like nothing is happening around him". As soon as Thug approaches Gunna, the house explodes from the blaze. The scene then cuts to Travis Scott on a gridiron field, where the fire has now reached. Scott is surrounded by a marching band playing the song's instrumental. The blaze eventually hits each of the marching band members, who are lined up to spell out "Hot" like the track's cover art.[5]
