Directed by Mike Carson and inspired by the popular sitcom Martin, the music video for "Play No Games" premiered at the BET Awards on June 28, 2015 and features French Montana, Sevyn Streeter, Reginald Ballard (in character as Bruh Man) singing Ty Dolla Sign's vocals, along with an appearance by the sitcom's title character, Martin Lawrence
This song finds Big Sean spitting bravado rhymes accompanied by Chris Brown, who croons the hook and Ty Dolla $ign (Breezy's "Loyal" writer), who sings the bridge. The beat was supplied by Key Wane and Jay John Henry, who have been making instrumentations for Sean since his early mixtape days. The beat incorporates a sample of new jack swing trio Guy's 1988 track "Piece of My Love." The Mike Carson-directed video pays homage to the classic 1990s TV sitcom, Martin, opening credits and all. We see Big Sean, who portrays Martin, seducing his on-screen love interest. However, he keeps getting interrupted by friends, including Reginald Ballard and Thomas Mikal Ford from the series, Chris Brown who plays Cole and French Montana. At the end the star of the show, Martin Lawrence, kicks Sean out of the apartment.
