Our very first ‘experiment’ was quite the success! In less than 24-hours, Nivea’s official video for the buzz single “Love Hurts” had been picked up by every major urban blog, and a few mainstream as well. It had also garnered over 75,000 views by Wednesday afternoon. Now, five days later, the video has 365k+ views on Avalon Music’s YouTube page (the original link for the video), and countless views from reposts and other video services.

VIDEO: Nivea x Lil Wayne :: Love Hurts

Tai Saint-Louis — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:27:26 +0000

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 2010 – In the final days before reporting for his highly-publicized impending jail sentence, Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum rapper Lil Wayne has been very busy, squeezing in as much work as he can before his 8-12 month sentence at Riker’s Island. His every move has been very well documented, from the 10 videos he shot with Young Money in one night, to his impromptu appearance alongside Young Jeezy during the Madison Square Garden stop of Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour on Tuesday (Mar 2).

The one thing that has yet to be reported was his last minute decision to appear in ex-girlfriend Nivea’s first video from her forthcoming fourth studio album Purple Heart…

The clip for “Love Hurts,” finds Nivea revisiting the memories of an ended romance. As she walks through the house she once shared with her former love – played by Wayne – Nivea revisits the good times and bad.

Wayne agreed to appear in the video on just two days notice, appearing on set for close to two hours of the nearly 12-hour shoot, less than week before his scheduled sentencing.

With Wayne scheduled to start his sentence today (Mar 3), Nivea, the mother of Wayne’s three-month-old son, is one of the many artists offering words of encouragement:

“Wayne, I pray for your endurance during this difficult time. Know that your mind, heart, spirit and talent will prove to be stronger than the confinement of those walls.”

The “Love Hurts” video features a never before heard remix of the song, which was originally released on Valentine’s Day. Purple Hearts is due out in late Summer 2010.
