The video, which premiered today via Billboard, shares money tips and practical financial advice — like where to find Jamaica’s cheapest gas — with viewers via “hidden,” fleeting messages.
“There’s a lot of videos where people talk about money with expensive cars and clothes they rent, and don’t actually own,” Runkus says. “I wanted to show that you can watch a video and actually make money… literally.”
