In the titular line of his new single “Oprah’s Bank Account” featuring Drake and DaBaby, Lil Yachty raps, “You look good as Oprah’s bank account.” But the rapper recently revealed exactly how he transformed into Oprah Winfrey.
He posted a three-minute timelapse video Monday (March 9) documenting how hairstylists hid his signature tiny beaded braids into a voluminous wig mimicking Winfrey’s hair from her days of hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show. Without having to endure a painstaking transformation quite like Taylor Swift for her self-directed “The Man” music video, the Lil Boat artist got his makeup done to resemble the former talk show host before hopping out of the trailer with his pale pink ensemble.
But Yachty showed how much more fun he had behind the scenes of his “Oprah’s Bank Account” music video after posting a video on Twitter yesterday (March 10) with Drake and DaBaby lip-syncing and dancing to their collaborative track with him.
