Swedish director Tim Erem, who directed the video to the song commented on the performance of Riri and Drizzy as he said, “You just put them in front of the camera and they’re like the two coolest, most interesting artists you can see,”

“Doing this with someone else would be the most boring video you’ve ever seen. But these two artists can carry a whole video in one setup.”

Rihanna has recovered after cancelling her Grammy performance due to her brief encounter with a lungs infection called Bronchitis.

She would be looking to forward to begin her tour as 2016 starts to unfold for her.
