Andy Milonakis Directs, Stars in iLoveMakonnen's "Too Much" Video

iLoveMakonnen‘s “Too Much”, from his self-titled EP, has received a video treatment courtesy of cult comedian Andy Milonakis (“The Andy Milonakis Show”, “Kroll Show”, Three Loco), who both directed and starred in the clip. In the video, Milonakis gets his makeup done like the mannequin head iLoveMakonnen is always lugging around, and has a slightly sad night on the town. He also shared a note about the video, which you can watch below, via Complex:

I spoke to Makonnen about doing a video to one of his songs, he gave me the green light. Not sure he expected a full music video, but I hope he is pleased with the outcome. I have permission from IloveMakonnen to use his song for this original concept video.

He also explained that concept a little more in an email to Complex:

My boy Mons, was playing Tuesday a lot, so I looked up young based Makonnen and found his melodies and vibe really touching and addictive….. Especially the mannequin he uses over and over again as EP graphics and as the star of some of his videos…. I’m very into doing comedy with inanimate objects and was really inspired by how weird and creative the use of the mannequin was…….. I connected with it somehow and had an idea of turning the mask human…..
