Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "No Beef" was first released onto YouTube on 16 August 2011 at a total length of five minutes and thirty-two seconds.[5] It was directed by Punit Dhesi and produced by Nima Nejat and Kam Saran. It features footage of both Afrojack and Aoki on stage and backstage at the 2011 Electric Daisy Carnival. The video also features guest appearances from American rapper Flo Rida, American model and former Playboy Playmate Holly Madison, professional poker players Michael Mizrachi, Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak, former Ultimate Fighting Championship Chuck Liddell and American rapper and record producer Lil Jon.[6]
Steve Aoki secretly recorded part of the video with a cell phone at a gift shop in Las Vegas, without the shop's permission. The shop turned that into a marketing opportunity by prominently featuring the gifts purchased in the video.[7]
