How many times does Desiigner say the word panda in “Panda,” the Brooklyn rapper’s chart-topping entry in this year’s song-of-the-summer race? A whopping 36 times, by our count. Unfortunately, we’ve got bad news: The song’s music video, released Tuesday night via Tidal, does not feature nearly that many actual pandas. But you shouldn’t be too hard on him for false advertising. According to the Smithsonian, there are only about 2,000 giant pandas left in the world, so getting a bunch of them would have been a logistical nightmare. And Desiigner is only 19 years old! There’s no way he would have had that kind of zoological expertise.
