"Beibs in the Trap" (stylized as "beibs in the trap") is a song recorded by American rapper Travis Scott featuring Canadian rapper Nav. The track appeared on Scott's second studio album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, which was released on September 2, 2016.[1] "Beibs in the Trap" is a reference to cocaine, comparing the pure white substance to the Canadian singer Justin Bieber.[2]

Music video

The music video for "Beibs in the Trap", directed by RJ Sanchez, premiered on December 28, 2016, via Scott's Vevo channel.[3] It features Scott and Nav performing the song at a hangar filled with flashing lights and models.[3] A metallic silver Lamborghini is showcased throughout the entire video.[3] Peter A. Berry from XXL wrote; "The lights and the models' wardrobes make this visual seem like something ripped directly from the upcoming Ghost in the Shell movie, and it looks more than a little cool."[4] Eric Skelton of Pigeons & Planes wrote that all that is missing is "[Justin] Bieber sitting in the corner wearing metallic Hammer pants".[5]
