Just in time for Christmas, hip-hop artist Gucci Mane gave his fans a naughty but nice present. The video for his new single, "Nonchalant," which was shot at Lamar and Theresa Roemer's Woodlands home earlier this month, was released over the weekend.
As CultureMap previously reported, representatives from Atlantic Records secured permission from the couple to shoot the glitzy R-rated video at their palatial 17,300-square-foot Carlton Woods mansion. The song is taken from Mane's mixtape, The Return of the East Atlanta Santa, which was released in mid-December. It opens with the singer in Theresa's infamous 3,000-square closet, where he is surrounded by designer handbags and scantily-clad models offering him up an array of name brand sunglasses on a silver tray.
In the chorus of the song, Mane reflects on being "in the strip club chilling so nonchalant," so director Be EL Be transformed part of the mansion into the singer's private strip club, with brass poles suspended in the bedroom and wine room, a model laid out on the kitchen counter wearing nothing but sushi, and other curvaceous models cavorting in the master bath. While the female models wear barely nothing throughout the video, Mane is outfitted in a variety of furs, colorful jackets, platinum chains and glittery rings.
It follows a similar theme as his previous music video for ”Stutter” and the release of ”Both,” which features Drake. Both songs are on The Return of the East Atlanta Santa album.
Since being released from prison earlier this spring, where he was serving a three-year sentence for federal drug and gun charges, Mane has been on a tear, releasing three albums — Everybody Looking in July, Woptober in October, and The Return Of East Atlanta Santa.

Legendary rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin, lead singer of REO Speedwagon, will team up to co-headline the “Brotherhood of Rock” tour in 2025, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, June 6.
The large, 40-city tour will take place over three months, starting in Greenville, South Carolina on May 28, and wrapping up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 24.
In addition to Houston, the tour will go to Austin on June 4 and Dallas on August 1. It will include special guest Don Felder, former lead guitarist for the Eagles, at all dates.
Fans can expect some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Come Sail Away,” “Can't Fight This Feeling,” and “Hotel California.”
Styx and Cronin (as part of REO Speedwagon) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, coming together to form the Rock to the Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This will mark their sixth time joining forces on the road.
2022 was the 50th anniversary of Styx's self-titled debut album, but they have yet to slow down. The band released their 17th album, Crash of the Crown, in 2021. Of course, not everyone is a fan, as this classic clip from The Simpsons illustrates.
REO Speedwagon's recording days appear to be done, with their last album coming out in 2009, but the main group of five has been together since 1989. On this tour, Cronin will be joined by REO's lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
General tickets for the tour will go on sale starting on Friday, December 13 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on December 9 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program.
Styx and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 at 10 am, as well as at LiveNation.com.
