KATSEYE's Lara Raj will never stop being gnarly!
The singer, 20, starred as a fierce love interest in Baby Keem's music video for his song “Birds & the Bees” released on Monday, Feb. 23. The song is featured on his second studio album, Ca$ino.
Raj plays a love interest for Baby Keem, born Hykeem Jamaal Carter Jr., whose character seems to be juggling multiple women. After growing frustrated with the amount of time it takes Raj’s character to get dolled up, the two set out for a night on the town.

However, on their way out the door, the rapper’s character mentions that he "should’ve called Jade" to join him instead. His comment incites violence from Raj’s character, who punches him.
The music video, directed by Jack Begert and written by Begert and Dave Free, also starred Desmond Johnson.
Raj shared the music video to her Instagram Stories, writing to the rapper, “thank u for having mee.”

Raj spoke to PEOPLE in January about her experience coming out publicly as queer in March 2025.
"I got so many messages and beautiful stories from fans from other communities, communities that don't have LGBTQ+ representation, especially my Indian community," she said. "People saying that they've never seen anything like it and that they decided to come out because I did."

KATSEYE received their first Grammy nominations this year for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
"It's literally just the biggest, biggest honor," Raj told PEOPLE in a separate interview. "I don't think any of us were expecting it. It really took us by surprise, both of the nominations. When we found out, we were all in tears, screaming, crying. It means so much to be recognized among so many people that have been in the industry for so long — and people that we look up to."
