The video, inspired by the song \u201cI Love You, I Hate You\u201d, explores the trauma caused by the rapper\u2019s absent father. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“You made a promise to God to be there for your kids<\/em>
You made a promise to give them a life that you didn’t live<\/em>
My ego won’t fully allow me to say that I miss you<\/em>
A woman who hasn’t confronted all her daddy issues<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is how Little Simz<\/a> starts her second verse in \u201cI Love You, I Hate You\u201d. The track, which is particularly intimate, was one of the standouts of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert<\/em>, the British-Nigerian artist\u2019s fourth critically-acclaimed studio album. Following the release of the song\u2019s official video<\/a>, Simz has now dedicated a full short film to the subject, allowing her to delve deeper in her memories of abandonment and her childhood trauma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by Little Simz with writer Caroline Adeyemi, the film features Simz alongside Shaniqua Okwok, C.J. Beckford, and Sonia Ajuwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I Might Be Introvert<\/a><\/em> by Little Simz is still available on all platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
