In his latest music video for “Rodeo Dr,” Atlanta recording artist Gunna draws inspiration from a historic pop culture moment that captivated millions nearly thirty years ago. The video pays homage to the infamous low-speed chase involving former NFL star O.J. Simpson, which was witnessed by a reported 95 million people on national television.
O.J. Simpson’s life took a dramatic turn after he became a suspect in the tragic murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. On June 17, 1994, Los Angeles-area law enforcement embarked on a 60-mile pursuit of Simpson, who was found crouched in the backseat of a 1993 white Ford Bronco. Eventually, Simpson was taken into custody and later acquitted in the case.
In “Rodeo Dr,” Gunna creatively reenacts O.J. Simpson’s infamous run from the law, skillfully directed by Spike Jordan. The Young Stoner Life Records representative flawlessly portrays O.J. Simpson, utilizing his own white Bronco for added authenticity.
With meticulous attention to detail, Gunna captures the essence of the historical event while presenting it through his artistic lens in “Rodeo Dr.” The music video is a compelling tribute to an iconic moment that left a lasting impact on pop culture and remains a significant part of history.
