Rapper Drake and his video director Anthony Mandler who shot the stars latest video 'Find Your Love,' in Jamaica are now facing criticism for the plot used in the video. Dancehall artist Mavado makes a significant appearance in the video where he is portrayed as the villain in the video. The minister of tourism Edmund Bartlett caught wind of this video and is not happy with the image that it paints of Jamaica especially under these tough times.
Director Anthony Mandler defends the video by adding that everyone is just acting. He insisted that "the video is completely dramatic and completely scripted. This could have taken place in 50 other countries, it is not restricted to Jamaica." Drake plays a man who falls in love with a woman in Jamaica and Mavado's character name Puffy and his gully posse is not having it, so they kidnapp Drake's character. The video ends with a gunshot, which the minister adds "is not enhancing to the gun culture."
