Yesterday, Lana Del Rey dropped some of the most memorable visuals in recent memory for her “National Anthem” video, the fifth single off her Born to Die album.
In the video, Lana played Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, while our dude A$AP Rocky was looking presidential dressed up as JFK.

Today, that pretty muthf*cka talked to Andy Capper from Noisey.Vice about working on the video with Lana. And in his typical blunt, swagged-out Harlem style, A$AP had a lot to say:
“Lana wrote the treatment with me in mind. She wanted me to be the lead guy. Shit is like, everybody knows we got a thing for each other and we wanted to show that on screen. She’s a genius like…. nigga look at this bitch, I wanna fuck the shit outta her. Look at her she’s gotta be in her late 30s and shit… Err, Hello?”

Ehhh, what?
Not to be misunderstood, the Harlem native went on to explain what he meant. He also talked about shooting the actual video itself:
“Haha. You’re not talking about Lana Del Rey there I take it…”
“Hahahaha nah, nah, nah. Nah, I was caught in the moment man; you know me Andy, cut it out man.”
“Yeah I was like, “Wow, this is very forward of him.”
“Nah she wanted me to be the main guy and she wrote the treatment herself and came up with all the ideas. She came you with all that shit herself. And this guy Andy, nah, Anthony, what’s this nigga’s name…. Anthony Mandler shot it with some old cameras and shit to get the 1960s look and they had a set of extras. They had so many extras there, Interscope paid so much fucking money for this video that it’s not even true.”
Yeah, all that JFK stuff is cool, but…let’s just see some more quotes of A$AP talking about Lana:
“She looked like Jackie O, and I was kissing the shit out of her all day and shit.”
“Must have been a tough gig.”
“Nah that was good. I was like squeezing on her buns and all that shit. Doing all that perverted shit. (laughs) That was the fun part.”
“Has she got a boyfriend?”
“Nah, she hasn’t got no boyfriend.”
“So, like, what’s up with that?”
“You tell me….. “
“No, you tell me…”
“Nah, we just cool. I don’t look at her like that no more. I used to wanna do her, I used to wanna bone her but after this video I don’t like her like that no more, I just think she’s cool, know what I’m sayin?”
So what have we learned? Lana doesn’t have a boyfriend, A$AP was squeezing on her “buns and sh*t” and he used to want to bone her, but not anymore.
Cool.
