On December 23 , 2017 , the music video for the song was released exclusively on Apple Music and Eminem 's official Vevo channel .

Beyonce does not appear in the video . As of June 15 , 2018 , the video has over 50 million views and 984,000 likes . The video starts with a beam of light that turns out to be a special on a microphone . Eminem is sitting next to it lamenting when he finally decides to come up to the mic . The lights slowly come up to reveal an auditorium during the second chorus . We then see many disciples and clones of Eminem typing gibberish into a typewriter . There is then a montage of set pieces being placed on stage to resemble concerts he has performed . During the third chorus , there is a time lapse of fans in the auditorium seats . The fans leave during the third verse when Eminem glitches between different personas and it starts to snow . We then see Eminem in a barren wasteland of ice . He finds a huge statue covered , then , with deliberation , pulls it off . Back to the typewriter room , Eminem starts to write the lyrics to " Stan " and then pulls it out of the typewriter and delivers the closing line , " Bitch , I wrote ' Stan ' " . The video received a nomination at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Visual Effects
