The rap superstar released the music video for his ‘For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition’ track on Thursday
Morgan Wallen wants Drake to take one thing at a time.
On Wednesday, the rap superstar, 37, dropped the music video for his Scary Hours 3 track “You Broke My Heart,” enlisting the help of the country music star, 30, to play a close friend who helps him through a break up.
In the visual directed by Theo Skudra, Champagne Papi is seen coping with a recent heartbreak by looking to Wallen for advice as they wine and dine in what appears to be a luxury establishment.
While Drizzy is his feelings, the “Last Night” singer thinks his bro is better off. Wallen admits, “I think she might have been the wrong girl anyway.”

“Well, what now?” the rapper asks, before ultimately coming around and revealing in a sing-song voice, “I’m kind of glad she’s gone.”
After the two cheers — wishing the “Slime You Out” artist’s ex well and celebrating his newfound singledom — they decide to hit the town. “Let’s see what else is out there. That’s what we need to do,” Drizzy says as the singer-songwriter pantomimes that he’s scanning the street for new lovers and they proceed to go wingman each other.
The music stars’ cameos don’t last much longer, though. The potency of a broken heart proves to be a powerful thing, and once a vengeful ex interferes with their night out, the clip transforms into a moody dance video featuring dancers Grace Matthews and Taylor Morris as they deal with a breakup in an entirely different way.

“You Broke My Heart” is one of several music videos the Grammy winner has dropped since he released his eighth studio album For All the Dogs in October and its extended Scary Hours Edition featuring six additional tracks in November. He most recently shared the visual for “Polar Opposites,” and also brought on guests in other videos, like J. Cole in “First Person Shooter” and Lil Yachty in “Another Late Night.”
The video is Wallen’s latest foray into hip-hop. Aside from expressing his interest in rap as a fan, the “Thought You Should Know” singer is hardly a stranger to the genre, as he previously reached No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart for his 2021 collaboration with Lil Durk, “Broadway Girls.”
He also was recently part of a crossover moment when Post Malone joined him and HARDY on stage at the 2023 CMA Awards to perform a John Diffy tribute.

The “Whiskey Glasses” performer’s appearance in Drake’s new video comes several weeks after he revealed in a Billboard interview that he believes he had “no excuse” using a racial slur to describe one of his drunk friends in a video obtained by TMZ in 2021.
“There’s no excuse. I’ve never made an excuse. I never will make an excuse,” Wallen told the outlet. “I’ve talked to a lot of people, heard stories [about] things that I would have never thought about because I wasn’t the one going through it.”
“And I think, for me, in my heart I was never that guy that people were portraying me to be, so there was a little bit of like, ‘Damn, I’m kind of actually mad about this a little bit because I know I shouldn’t have said this, but I’m really not that guy,’” he continued, referring to being being branded as a “full-blown racist.”
The country star added that if “he was that guy, then [he] wouldn’t have cared” or “apologized,” and said that the incident put into perspective “just how much that people listen” to him.
