1 correction found
The music video of "One Night" was uploaded to YouTube on Lil Yachty's channel on May 23, 2016, and has received over 131 million views as of Jan 2024.
This sentence appears to conflate two different YouTube uploads. The May 23, 2016 upload has only about 23.7 million views, while the 131M+ view count matches a different upload published on May 3, 2016.
Full reasoning
YouTube currently shows two separate uploads of Lil Yachty's official "1 Night" video:
h1WRpCsR2EE— titled "Lil Yachty - 1 Night (Official Video)" — was published May 23, 2016 and currently has about 23.7 million views.251cxou3yR4— titled "Lil Yachty - 1 NIGHT (Official Video)" — was published May 3, 2016 and currently has about 135.2 million views.
That means the article's sentence is mixing the May 23, 2016 upload date from one video with the 131M+ view count that corresponds to the May 3, 2016 upload.
This is also consistent with contemporaneous coverage: The FADER ran the video premiere on May 3, 2016, describing it as Lil Yachty's new video for "1 Night."
