Jimmy Butler has gone back to his ’emo look’ for Fallout Boy’s new music video, after showing up with a similar haircut on NBA Media Day.
The Miami Heat forward starred in the rock band’s clip for its latest single ‘So Much (For) Stardust,’ which was released on Tuesday, donning an all-purple, bedazzled cowboy outfit.
And that’s what the first half of the music video exactly focuses before Butler, who single-handedly took the Heat – last year’s No. 8 seed in the East – to the NBA Finals, hakes a magic 8 ball. Then the band’s bᴀssist, Pete Wentz, suddenly appears in a beige costume that rivals the basketball player’s look.
Fans, who have since nicknamed Butler as ‘Heat Wentz’ on X – praised the duo for collaborating in the latter half of the song.
The cowboy look is one that the six-time All-Star loves to rock, considering that he has shared his love for country music and his own plans to drop an album soon.
