Lil Wayne has decided to go the crazy route with straitjackets and more for his new video "Krazy."

In an interview with MTV, the rapper explained why he decided to take fans on a mind-boggling journey with the video.

"I'm not talking about being crazy in the song, I'm just talking about being me," he said. " A lot of people view that as crazy, so we just wanted to capture that and have fun with it."

Popular director Colin Tilley says the video was inspired by the film version of the literary classic, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."

"We talked about putting Lil Wayne in a psych ward and I definitely took some inspiration from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," just as far as the look and feel for it," he said. "It's more of the psychological trip that Lil Wayne's going through in this place."
