Lil Nas X makes out with Dominic Fike in the trippy new video for Brockhampton's single Count On Me
Lil Nas X took a break from his own music to star in the new video for pop–rap boyband Brockhampton's single Count On Me.
The 22-year-old Old Town Road rapper was seen taking an idyllic drive through the countryside with singer Dominic Fike.
Despite the straight-ahead jam on the track, the video features some increasingly trippy visuals, culminating in the rapper and the singer making out in a forest.
A day in the country: Lil Nas X, 22, and singer Dominic Fike, 25, have a romantic tryst in the video for boyband Brockhampton's single Count On Me, released on Tuesday

The video, which appeared to have been shot on low-quality digital cameras for stylistic reasons, opens with Lil Nas X and Fike in a car and in a great mood.
