Ashnikko delays music video release out of respect for Belgrade school shooting
On 6 April, Ashnikko unveiled the title track to the forthcoming album Weedkiller.
Yesterday (3 May), eight pupils and a security guard were killed in a shooting at the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school, with another six pupils and a teacher injured. The shooter, a 13 year old boy named by police as Kosta Kecmanovic, has been arrested alongside his parents.
Ashnikko took to their socials to announce that the forthcoming video release would be postponed by a week, due to the "tragedy" that took place.
we filmed this music video in Belgrade, and it is a celebration of Serbian talent and creativity; my best friend and co-director Vasso and all the other wonderful Serbian talent and crew made it the most beautiful shoot i’ve ever done.

Weedkiller is the follow up to Ashnikko's 2021 mixtape DEMIDEVIL.
