A gunman wearing a mask comes running in and robs the bar. He hits one of the customers with the gun in the head while going around collecting everyone's money. When the gunman comes around to the Weeknd, he refuses to give up his money and laughs. This is followed by the gunman shooting the Weeknd, however Juicy J shoots the gunman before he can shoot the Weeknd. The video ends as Juicy J leaves the bar.

Critical reception

Pitchforkgave a negative review stating: "At this point you'd think Juicy J and the Weeknd would maybe try to switch things up a bit. But no. Their song" One of Those Nights "now has a dark-hued video in which they drink, smoke, and look sad while surrounded by women in a seedy-looking establishment. (There's a crime plot in this one, too). Hey, when you've picked a theme and found like-minded friends, you might as well run with it."Billboardcomplemented the video stating: "Instead of delivering what feels like today's typical rap video (women twerking in the club as rappers drop bills and sip on the alcohol they've recently co-signed), Juicy J gives fans a quick storyline to delve into in the video for his The Weeknd-assisted" One Of Those Nights.
