In the clip, Nas films out of his window and zooms into the distance.
A building can be seen with small, flame-like lights coming from the windows.
While the bottom half of the building is completely clear, it appears that the top half has been set on fire.
Nas then took some pictures and noticed the fire wasn’t moving.
It was, in fact, an insane optical illusion.
