Whey Jennings Enters Flaming Building in Music Video For ’10 Day Run’; But Is it Real?
Country artist Whey Jennings has fans buzzing with his latest music video for ‘10 Day Run.’ In the video, Jennings is seen entering a flaming building, sparking curiosity and debate among viewers. Is the dramatic scene real, or is it just movie magic? Discover the truth behind this intense and captivating visual.
He stated “I went into [to rehab] to get off the hard drugs,” Jennings shared in an interview. “I’ve been 99% sober since April of 2020. I didn’t quit smoking weed until June of 2020, and from that moment forward, I’ve been 100% sober.” Jennings credits his sobriety to the support of his loved ones. “I latched onto my family, my wife, my life, and my career, and I used all of this for therapy,” he explained. “I decided to stay sober for me, my God, and my family.”

In addition to his family, Jennings is motivated by his fans, especially in a landscape filled with transformative country artists like Jelly Roll, Elvie Shane, and Cody Jinks. “I’m feeling a 100% sober movement coming because no matter what drug you’re doing, it could kill you,” Jennings stated.
“It’s even in the weeds. It’s in everything. Fentanyl is a horrible drug. A lot of people getting high are doing it to have a good time. They aren’t trying to kill themselves. But when the party isn’t fun anymore, it’s time to go home.”
Recalling the collaboration with Lauryn Snapp for the ’10 Day Run’ music video, Jennings praised her dedication. “She was so accommodating,” he remembered. “She was like, ‘I’ll break my dishes, I’ll throw all my old man’s clothes out in the front yard, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.'”
Despite the dramatic visuals, the house in the video wasn’t actually burning. “It was just smoke and lights,” Jennings clarified. “We kept the camera on the downstairs portion of the house and set up orange lights pointing at the windows, but we positioned the camera so you couldn’t see the bulbs. Then, we pumped the whole first floor full of smoke, and the director added a bit of effect on his computer.”
Jennings’ new album reflects his journey as a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. “I’m trying to show the actual life of a drug addict that we keep away from our support systems and the people that gave up on us,” he said. “They gave up on us for good reason, but they don’t see us as human anymore. They see us as drug addicts who do nothing to make ourselves happy or anything like that. So, it’s more aimed toward the support systems of drug addicts than just drug addicts.”
