Joyner Lucas unleashed a new video for “Fall Slowly” featuring veteran R&B singer Ashanti on Wednesday (September 2) — and no, that wasn’t the surprising part.
The steamy visual quickly sparked relationship rumors as it appears the two aren’t acting. Instead, they’re playfully teasing each other, sleeping together on a couch, sucking on each other’s tongues, making out against a wall and seem totally, 100 percent in love with each other.
“You’re not perfect, but you might life worth it,” he spits. “Maybe that’s why we stick together like curses/Hella toxic, but I know that I’m determined/If we can make it through the fire, we can breathe inside a furnace.”

As the video moves along, Lucas and Ashanti’s characters get into an argument in the car and she eventually discovers some text messages in his phone she wasn’t meant to see. The altercations eventually turn physical and then she finds out she’s pregnant with his child. From there, Lucas is arrested for domestic violence, but they continue with their love affair.
“Fall Slowly” comes from Lucas’ forthcoming EVOLUTION EP, which features six new songs along with special guests The Game, Rick Ross and more. The project is expected to arrive on September 18.
