Music Video: Wale – “Sue Me” (featuring Kelly Price)

Earlier this week, Wale dropped a visual for “Sue Me” (featuring Kelly Price), the fifth single from his sixth album, Wow… That’s Crazy. As far as videos with “a message” are concerned, this is one of the good ones.

The “Sue Me” video re-imagines the world as one where black people and white people switch realities. It follows a young white walking through New York City at the mercy of the powers and prejudices of black, who are — in this reality — the ones with all the privilege. In his path, he sees a billboard advertising Mayor Mike Blackberg’s stop-and-frisk program and another for a product that will help white woman make their hair kinkier. There’s also one for WhitePeopleMeet.com.

The video is as funny as it is poignant, and hopefully, the right people get the right message from watching it.

The video makes reference to the headline-making racist incident at a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and ends with a video message from what appears to be a current inmate lamenting about prison conditions in the midst of the global pandemic.

Watch the “Sue Me” video below.
