The visual debuted with a staggering 8.3 million views in its first 24 hours.

Kendrick Lamar dropped the music video for his new Rihanna collaboration 'LOYALTY' this weekend, and it's safe to say fans are in their feelings.

After footage of the Compton rapper filming the video leaked earlier in the year, fans of both artists have been eagerly awaiting the release of the visual.

And, as expected, it didn't disappoint.

Directed by David Meyers and The Little Homies, who are also behind the music video for 'HUMBLE', the video is moody, mysterious and full to the brim of stunning night-time visuals.

The video came as a surprise to fans who weren't expecting the visual, which coincidently dropped on the same day as Future and Nicki Minaj's 'You Da Baddest' music video.

Towards the end of the video, the rapper and the Barbadian songstress can be seen sitting side-by-side in a sports car whilst Kendrick drives around in circles.

The pair then appear to collide with another car, leaving them both with visible wounds as they laugh off the crash.

I'm not over the Loyalty video. Kendrick and Rihanna really got hit by a car and just laughed it off like it was nothing?

Some people even think the visual is award-worthy.

So.... The "LOYALTY." video is a movie. CGI on a hunnid thousand. Kendrick and Rihanna deserve Oscars, okay? All of the awards. Period. pic.twitter.com/dTX8BbyBFm
