Ending with a recreation of Jesus's birth in the manger, Jenner appears as a golden, angelic figure holding a new-born lamb.'Stop Trying to Be God' has been directed by Dave Meyers, who has also helmed the video of Ariana Grande's latest single 'God Is A Woman' and other artists like OutKast, Jay Z, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Nas and N.E.R.D, writes Hypebeast.Scott's last album was 2016's Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight.
