Months after the song was released, fans will be happy to know that the Waka Flocka 'Round of Applause' music video is finally out. The song and video feature Canadian rapper Drake, who lets Waka Flocka shine as he takes the backseat in these scenes. The video is centered around Flocka losing his girlfriend to a strip club, as she gets caught up with the wrong people and soon becomes a "fixture of the underworld." In one of the scenes, a dancer behind Waka dances with a dress that blends into the wall, creating a trompe l'oeil effect.
The Waka Flocka 'Round of Applause' music video stars Draya from VH1’s hit TV show 'Basketball Wives L.A.,' who plays Flocka's long lost girlfriend.
Unfortunately, the video ends with 'To Be Continued,' but thankfully for fans, that means that part two is on the way.
