Jidenna Outfit

Jidenna’s “Classic Man” is an anthemic reflection of how music and art are connected to societal changes. In an interview with Billboard magazine, Jidenna said, "The scene that you see with the youth being arrested by the police officers, that's straight out of the book of my own life. We were very intentional about showing how you can co-operate with police officers and the youth. There's definitely a lot of scrutiny surrounding the militarized police that we have in the U.S. right now. I don't want a world where the citizens and the police are fighting each other. I wanted to show a world where youth don't get shot when police run up on them.” Jidenna wore this suit during the Alan Ferguson-directed music video for “Classic Man” and subsequent performances until 2017.
