Phénix bbj · Business and WSAYA

A fully generated music video for Tunisian rapper Phénix bbj, built without a shoot, plus a TikTok edit for WSAYA.

Phénix bbj is a Tunisian rapper with 341,000 subscribers on YouTube alone. Business, produced by @weldelgass1, is a clip built entirely with generated image rather than shot footage. Instagram labelled the post AI content, which is the right label and worth keeping: the work is not pretending to be a shoot. The brief for a rap video is usually a crew, a location and a day of filming. Here there is none of that. The visual world is generated and then cut to the track, which changes what the job is: it stops being coverage of a performance and becomes the construction of a place that does not exist, held consistent across two minutes fifty so it reads as one film rather than a reel of experiments. Released 16 August 2026 and posted the same day on both channels. The split between them is the interesting part. YouTube carried the views, Instagram carried the reaction: twelve thousand eight hundred likes there against six hundred on YouTube, for the same film on the same day. For an artist of this profile the video lives on the feed and is archived on the channel, not the other way round. A second, shorter piece followed for WSAYA: a twenty-nine second edit cut for TikTok, where the format is not a reduction of the clip but its own object. The WSAYA edit reads differently again. Twelve thousand views on twenty-nine seconds, and fifty-eight saves against four hundred and seventy-five likes. A save rate near twelve percent is the number to watch on that platform: a like is a reflex, a save is someone deciding they want the thing again.
