Sexyy Red’s latest video, “Get It Sexyy,” pays homage to early 2000s hip-hop culture. The St. Louis native teamed up with 2000s rap icon, Soulja Boy, to bring back that nostalgic vibe for her fans.
Before unveiling the video on March 29, the emerging rap star teased a still from the visual on Instagram a day prior, sharing a photo of herself donning a long white t-shirt, a red snapback worn backward and baggy jeans—a direct nod to early 2000s fashion.
In the picture, Soulja Boy, renowned for his fashion of baggy pants and long white tees at the pinnacle of his career in the mid-2000s, stood beside the femcee, sporting an oversized white t-shirt, Denim Tears’ cotton wreath Levi Jeans, a du-rag and a flashy statement chain. Together, they flashed hand signs, capturing the essence of the era.
On the second slide, Sexyy Red could be seen sporting a green jumpsuit, showing off her curvy post-pregnancy body alongside Soulja Boy.

Soulja Boy, real name DeAndre Cortez Way, rose to fame in 2007 with his self-produced debut single “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” which spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song’s accompanying dance became a viral sensation and propelled the rapper to mainstream success at just 16 years old.
