Music video
In the music video, Kardinal Offishall is shown rapping at a house party. The video was in regular rotation on MuchMusic, however, it was temporarily pulled by the channel, because an extra went to the video shoot with his security guard uniform on. The security company's logo was later censored.[http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/multiarticlesub.aspx?csid1=75&csid2=778&fid1=4464 Kardinal Offishall - Man on Fire] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091101182156/http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/multiarticlesub.aspx?csid1=75&csid2=778&fid1=4464 |date=2009-11-01 }} Exclaim!.
