Music video

The official music video for "Fan", directed by Offset himself, was released along with the song on September 15, 2023.[2] The video is heavily influenced by late American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson as Offset tries to recreate his style by dressing up like him and trying to perform dance moves like that of what he did, especially taking inspiration from the musician's hit singles, "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal".[3] Offset had also previously compared himself to the musician in a statement while talking about his work ethic for the album and also has a tattoo of his face on his stomach.[4] It features cameos by AMP members Kai Cenat and Fanum.
