I've Been Waiting now has an official video – featuring Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump.
Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump feature in the brand-new video for I've Been Waiting, a collaborative track between rapper iLoveMakonnen, the late Lil Peep, and Fall Out Boy.
“Peep wanted this video to bring people up into the clouds, into the fantastical world of his mind,” explains SUS BOY of the magical new clip. “Making it now, alongside Makonnen, is our way of visiting him again.”
According to a press release when I've Been Waiting first dropped, FOB bassist Pete Wentz reached out to iLoveMakonnen following Lil Peep's death in November 2017, and it eventually lead to the posthumous collaboration.
“All the songs that Peep and I have worked on are special to me," says iLoveMakonnen. "I knew adding his heroes Fall Out Boy to I’ve Been Waiting would be a tribute to my friend and collaborator that I could feel proud of. When I called [FOB bassist] Pete [Wentz] he immediately said yes, and it came together very quickly. I’m really excited to share this with the fans.”
During an interview with XXL in 2017, Lil Peep praised both acts, revealing: “One of my favorite hip-hop artists is Makonnen. One of my favorite bands is Fall Out Boy. You put those two together and that’s Lil Peep.”
