Rap-Up.com || First Look at Kelly Rowland’s ‘Lay It on Me’ Video with Big Sean

What do Big Sean, half-naked men, and an elephant have in common? They all appear in Kelly Rowland’s visually-stimulating video for “Lay It on Me,” the second single off her third album Here I Am. Rap-Up.com was on the Los Angeles set and has your exclusive first look!

In the Sarah Chatfield-directed clip (“Motivation”), the 30-year-old diva donned several sexy wardrobe changes including a gold catsuit and latex number. She showed off her curves by lying on a gold platform and flirting with her co-star Sean, who was draped in gold jewelry and an L.A. Kings snapback.

The gorgeous singer commanded her shirtless male dancers to get on all fours while she rested on their backs. Dressed in a skin-baring leotard and metallic bra, the R&B superwoman whipped her long hair around while holding a foil cape in another scene.

But the biggest cameo of the day was not a celebrity. Suzy the elephant shared screen time with Kelly, who appeared nervous at first, but quickly warmed up to the gentle giant. She performed choreographed moves by Frank Gatson Jr. alongside Suzy, who playfully wrapped her trunk around her new pal. Her only diva demand: cookies.

@Big Sean Is A Joke, When you describe things can you say “bad” or “fucking ugly” instead of “gay”. When you say something is so gay, do you know what you’re saying. Knock it off.

I think Kelly is by far one of the sexiest women in music. She has beauty for days and that body is undeniably amazing. I can’t wait to see the video.

@……., the album is a sexy album, so give the girl some credit for selling whatever she sings about. She was fully clothed at the BET Awards they say, she wore too much clothes. Now shes showing some skin, you say she is selling sex. CANT PLEASE NONE I GUESS

@Jamaican,

I agree with you, but in order to make it in that industry, you’ve got to show some skin.

I don’t agree with it, but it is what it is. people are either too young to understand or are just plain blind to think that selling sex isn’t a part of the game. It is. I remember when they had MJ grabbin’ his crotch just to keep people lookin…most people was confused, because MJ ALWAYS kept people lookin! But we know what sells in this world, money, sex, and drugs. All of pop culture shows that.

Take this away and we wouldn’t have anything to watch or listen to. We’d all be at the library…you know THAT ain’t gon happen!

@MissyElliott!,

You know you gotta show some skin if you wanna make it. If you didn’t know, now you do.

Some people like Adele, Kelly Price, and some of the old school artists can make a good living in the entertainment industry without writhing all over some surface half-naked.

Kelly tried it, and it didn’t work for her. Watch how much more popular she becomes the more clothes she takes off.

DOn’t blame the artist. Blame the listeners that only listen when it concerns sex or money. She’s just trying to make a living in a sexist industry. You never see men feelin’ all over themselves, do you?

Kelly, I ain’t mad at ya. I can’t judge cause Lawd knows I done screwed up in my time.

I’m a little heart broken that as listeners, we didn’t give you the credit you deserved when you gave quality music. You know like the rest of us (that actually pay attention and ain’t scared to recognize the real) that you gotta show some skin to get in. I ain’t mad at you tryna make some change (a lot of it), mama. Just make sure YOU can sleep at night, cause that’s all that matters! Congratulations!
