Reasons are unknown but “Champion” was never sent to any radio and after rumors that “IAYL” would be the next urban single in August, the rapper released a video for the song but it never got sent to radio either.
5. “Marilyn Monroe”
This one was actually confirmed to get a video during an interview with The Guardian. Its radio release was delayed due to “Va Va Voom” taking off on the radio in the UK instead.
