NEW YORK — Hip-hop phenom Young M.A has made her directorial debut for Pornhub, becoming the first mainstream artist to direct a porn video for the site.
The Brooklyn-born gay rapper was given full artistic freedom to control all aspects of the video, including casting and production, according to Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub
“The Gift” is the first installment of a new, ongoing series from Pornhub Premium called “The Visionaries Directors’ Club,” which will feature original adult content that pays particular attention to Pornhub’s female audience, Price said.
Young M.A’s debut title depicts sensual lesbian sex and features an assortment of well-known adult entertainment stars, including Anya Ivy, Yara Skye, Zoey Reyes, Jenna Sativa, Shyla Jennings, Gina Valentina, Honey Gold, Elena Koshka, Milana May and Ana Foxxx.
“Here at Pornhub we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing talented individuals with a global platform to exercise their creativity. Young M.A is an incredible artist who has captivated the rap industry with her straightforward storytelling imbued with gritty flow,” Price said.
“While her sexuality is but one dimension of her fascinating character, M.A was able to evoke a certain realness in ‘The Gift’ that is indicative of our progressive generation and will surely resonate with our viewers – regardless of their orientation. We’re excited to continue to create more varied content that will appeal to our fast growing and increasingly diverse audience.”
Young M.A came onto the scene with her 2016 hit single, “Ooouuu,” an infectious anthem that went multiplatinum and was remixed by everyone from Nicki Minaj to French Montana.
She quickly ascended with her music, garnering accolades from the likes of Beyoncé and receiving millions of views on YouTube. After dropping her EP, “Herstory” last year, Young M.A has gone on to tour the country, amassing devout followers along the way.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Pornhub on the production of ‘The Gift.’ Similar to how I approach songwriting, I came into this process with a certain vision that I wanted to replicate. I wanted it to be authentic and genuine to who I am,” Young M.A. said “I’m confident that the final product is something everyone can enjoy.”
