When you watch music videos you are surprised by the things that you see in the video.

Some musicians want to come out unique by being different from the pack; they end up doing the most unimaginable yet expensive things.

Most music videos are done in a studio with a green screen, while others prefer to have the real thing and experience it. Here are some of the musicians that have done the ‘most’ for a great music video;

Rayvanny

Rayvanny is a Tanzanian musician, he has been in the music industry for almost a decade. He is among the artist who has gone to extreme measures to make a music video. Rayvanny set his car ablaze for a song ‘Te quiero’.

He stated on his social media that he was hurt by the fact he had to burn his car down for a more realistic video shoot.

He continued to say that his team had to hire a plane and the airport too to accommodate 100 people for his set.

Cardi B

Cardi B is quite the controversial artist, you won’t miss her on blogs calling out people or on her social media entertaining her fans with her charismatic personality.

When Cardi B came out with her trap song Bodak yellow it received so much love that she instantly became famous.

In the music video, we see Cardi B rapping next to a cheetah, she performs as she’s needed until the scene is over.

Behind the scenes, Cardi B reveals that she was quite scared of the cheetah afraid that it would pounce on her but she did a great job and pulled it off well.

Chloe Bailey

Some call her the Beyonce of this generation while others just think she’s a star on her own. Chloe Bailey has been shaking the industry with her music and her amazing vocals.

Being a Beyonce protege you shouldn’t expect less from her, she has her share of doing extreme video shoots.

On her latest track ‘Treat Me’ we see Chloe Bailey on top of a light table that cut her feet as she danced on top of it. Chloe said she had to endure the pain to bring out a great video shoot.

Beyonce

Crazy In Love is one of the first videos in that Beyonce set a car on fire revealing that she was being re-born; in the scene, we see Beyonce in the car on fire and later comes out unharmed.

She has more than one video that she has spent millions on to have her videos look realistic.

Diva is another song that Beyonce set a car on fire and she-cat walks away as the car burns to the ground.

Last but not least ‘Hold up’ Beyonce uses a giant track car to crash cars, she also destroys a car by breaking the windows using a baseball bat.

Well, it seems Beyonce has a thing for destroying stuff; during a performance of ‘Hold up’ at the VMA’s we see her at the end getting a baseball bat and hitting the camera and destroying the lenses.
