Los Angeles-based artist [Kill Nigel](https://www.instagram.com/killnigel/?hl=en) is an anomaly – from fashion to music, his artistry is distinct and continues to carve out a unique lane for the multi-hyphenate. Releasing “Attached” featuring acclaimed artist Theophilus London earlier this year, Kill Nigel follows up the buzzing track with a haunting new short film titled “I Don’t Have To Die For You To Love Me” featuring David Sabastian, premiering exclusively with FLAUNT.
Speaking on the short film, Kill Nigel stated, “This visual and song is the definition of my name Kill Nigel, which means I killed all of my imperfections to become the best me. You’ll see the horror that lives in my mind every time I close my eyes, the feeling that death will be the only way to take the pains of life away. Since my little brother was murdered, I’ve had these nightmares but somehow, I’ve managed to find beauty in this darkness. I learned how to master my pain, learned to marry it, use it as my strength.”
The visual serves as a metaphor for Nigel first understanding what’s hurting him, then marrying it by using it as his strength. The message? Know that pain is temporary. Fr every dark night, there’s a brighter day. Filmed in LA co-directed by Kill Nigel and Legit Looks, “I Don't Have To Die For You To Love Me” arrives just in time for Halloween.
Working on new music, Kill Nigel’s forthcoming project can be expected very soon. Kill Nigel is also an amazing stylist working with everyone from Billie Eilish to Machine Gun Kelly to Tyga.
