P Square Ft Akon & May D - Chop My Money Video!

I just watched the video for P Square’s song featuring Akon& May D. The video is about a beautiful girl who they don’t mind spending all their money because of how good she looks. I believe they should have asked actor, Eddie Murphy to be in the video because I read that’s how he felt about his ex-wife/ex model Nichole when he first saw her. He said when he saw her, “I said she can have all my money.” I’m sure after many years and several children together, when he was paying out that divorce settlement, he surely felt differently.



The video also subtly speaks to the well-known scenario of dark skinned African brothers doing any and everything to get the attention and affection of a light skinned African American sister, who uses them for their money, but only has eyes for a light skinned African American brother. This happens sometimes because she doesn’t want to have what they believe are “ugly” dark skinned kids who are darker than a paper bag, have a child that will be called Kinta Kunte because of the African father,  or she doesn’t want to be romantically involved with foreigners because some people including African Americans call African monkeys under their breath. This has happened to my cousin, where his girlfriend’s ex left her a voice mail message stating, I hear you are with an African monkey now.” When she played it for my cousin, he was really upset.

I also recall another cousin who is a good looking African man worked in DC with a lady who was married to a rich African man she said didn’t find attractive, but lavished so much money and attention on her. She asked my cousin, why other African men aren’t as good looking as he is. He said he tried to explain to her that like all nationalities, you have both good looking and not so good looking ones. She then told him that it doesn’t matter anyway, since she was going to get pregnant by one of her boyfriends, because she could never have an ugly baby for her ugly looking African husband who was spending all his money taking care of her. My cousin came home disturbed by her statement and said he knows DC girls are not to be messed with, but what this woman was doing with no qualms was terrible. Her husband must have been singing the song, Chop My Money for real… 

Going back to the video, I really appreciate P Square, Akon and May D for not having some half naked woman AKA a video vixen in the video as the lead, which is so common in music videos these days...What do you think of the video?
