Shirley Ju Director X knows a thing or two about music videos. From working under Hype Williams on the set of the 1998 classic movie “Belly,” to directing music videos for hip-hop heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar and Drake, the visual artist — whose real name is Julien Christian Lutz — has been delivering outstanding visuals for three decades and counting. Today, Lutz’s production company Fela teams up with Insight Production in announcing the launch of a new series dubbed “Video Star.” The show will explore the behind-the-scenes process and cultural impact of the most groundbreaking, innovative music videos dating back to the ’70s. It will additionally spotlight videos of the ’90s (when seven-figure budgets were introduced) leading up to modern-day examples, including some of Director X’s own innovative creations.

Marilyn Monroe, while wearing a glamorous white dress with a chunky diamond necklace. “Mr. Big boy / Pulling up in your big toy/Sayin’ all that blah, blah, blah/ Makin’ all that big noise,” Jenner lip-syncs and dances along to the song on top of a large pink pedestal, surrounded by dancers.
She switches back to her black ‘do for her second look, where she and Trainor, 29, both sport black gowns with diamond accessories. The retro, doo-wop song’s title refers to Gen Z’s slang for “mother,” which refers to an “iconic feminine figure, and an act is ‘mother’ if it contributes to that icon status,” according to Fast Company. “The fact that Meghan Trainor is literally mother right now,” a male voice says at the start of the track.“I am your mother, you listen to me/Stop all that mansplainin’/No one’s listening,” the chorus goes.
The song is included on Trainor’s fifth studio album, “Takin’ It Back,” which was released in October. It samples The Chordette’s 1954 hit “Mr. Sandman.” “You just a bum bum bum,” Trainor repeats in the post-chorus.
Jenner shared a clip of the video on Instagram and received support from her real-life daughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloé Kardashian.“THAT IS MY MOTHER,” Kourtney commented with a fire emoji. “Stop it I’m f–king screaming,” Khloé added. I am f–king screaming! Oh my god thank God.
This is really my mother! How lucky am I?? Meghan Let’s be sisters.”“Isn’t my mom the cutest?!” Kim shared the video on her Instagram Story. Fans were also ecstatic to see Trainer and Jenner join forces. “MEGHAN TRAINOR GOT THE MOTHER KRIS JENNER TO BE IN HER MOTHER MUSIC VIDEO OMG THIS IS SO ICONIC,” one excited fan tweeted.
