Popstar AI: Put Yourself in the POPSTAR Music Video

Popstar AI is an online video generator that puts you in Justin Bieber's role in DJ Khaled and Drake's 2020 'POPSTAR' music video from one photo. The trend took off after Neymar's 'Lil Ney' post on October 2, 2026. You get a vertical 9:16 or wide 16:9 clip with the original song, ready for TikTok and Reels.

01 · The short answer

What Is the Popstar AI Video Generator?

The Popstar AI video generator is a browser tool that makes the viral POPSTAR remake from a single photo. You upload a picture of yourself, and an AI video model follows the walk, camera and lip-sync of the original 2020 music video by DJ Khaled and Drake, with you in Justin Bieber's role. It is an independent fan tool, not an official product of any artist or label.

One Photo In

One clear photo of one person is enough. You need no prompt, editing software or green screen.

The Mansion Party Out

The finished clip keeps the hallway walk, the bodyguards and the lip-sync, with you as the lead.

Vertical or Wide, Ready to Share

Pick a 9:16 MP4 for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, or 16:9 to match the original video. The POPSTAR song is already on it.

No Watermark

Clips start at 7 credits and come without a watermark. If a render fails, the credits go straight back.

02 · How it works

How to Make a Popstar AI Video

Everything happens on this page in three steps, with no download and no prompt to write.

01

Upload one clear photo

Pick a crisp, front-facing photo of yourself or of an adult who agreed. One person only, with sunglasses and masks off.

02

Choose your settings

Pick the length and quality you want, then press the make button. The price shows before you start.

03

Download and post

After the render, the clip appears here and in My Creations. Save the MP4 and post it with a short caption.

03 · Why this works

Built Around One Video: The POPSTAR Remake

A general AI video tool invents motion from a prompt. This one is built around a single scene people already know, so the result is easy to recognise.

/01

Scene-Matched Movement

The walk and the mouth movement follow the original clip. Small details differ from frame to frame, since it is not a copy.

/02

Music-Video Camera and Setting

The glossy mansion look and steady camera carry over. Background guests and props can vary.

/03

Draft Survives Sign-In

Your uploaded photo and chosen settings are kept on the page during sign-in or checkout, so there is nothing to redo.

/04

Refunds on Failure

Credits go back to your balance whenever a render fails or the safety filter rejects the photo.

/05

Saved Creation History

Every finished clip is saved in My Creations, ready to rewatch or download whenever you like.

/06

Works on Your Phone

Choose a photo from your phone, render in the browser and save the finished video to your device.

04 · Before you upload

Tips and Honest Limits

AI video is impressive but not magic. A few simple habits save credits and give cleaner results.

/01

Only Upload Photos You Have Rights To

Only upload your own photos or those of adults who agreed. Minors and public figures are not permitted.

/02

One Person, Good Light

A single, sharp, evenly lit face beats a dark, filtered or group photo every time.

/03

Face the Camera

Photos facing the camera give the best likeness. Profiles, caps and sunglasses make the face wander.

/04

Fast Motion Can Smear Hands

Quick gestures are the hardest frames for current models, so small flaws can show up there.

/05

The Song Is Already On It

Your clip carries the original POPSTAR audio. If a platform mutes it, re-add the song from its audio library.

/06

Label It as AI

Where the platform has an AI label, switch it on when you post. It helps keep your account clear of moderation trouble.

Popstar AI is a website that puts you into the 'POPSTAR' music video by DJ Khaled and Drake. Upload one photo, and the AI plays you as the popstar in the mansion party, lip-syncing to the original audio.

Add a clear photo at the top of this page, pick your settings and start the render. Download the finished MP4 and post it on TikTok or Reels, usually with a caption such as Lil and your name.

No one has said publicly. Neymar posted his clip on Instagram on October 2, 2026, and news reports call it AI without naming a tool. We cannot say whether it matches this one.

There is no free tier right now. Clips start at 7 credits for 5 seconds, carry no watermark, and the credits come back automatically if a render fails.

Popstar AI and Starrd both have dedicated POPSTAR pages. Our alternatives table lines up length, price and watermark so you can compare them with Summrs before choosing.

Yes, your own photo is the intended input. A friend may be used if they are an adult and agreed. Celebrities, minors and pictures you have no right to use are not allowed.

Standard clips run 5, 10 or 15 seconds; Extended clips go up to 30 seconds and add the stairs, the party and the pool. Pick vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts or wide 16:9 like the original video.

No. It is an independent fan tool and is not affiliated with DJ Khaled, Drake, Justin Bieber, Neymar or their labels. The original song and video belong to their owners.

Try a sharper, front-facing photo of one person in even light. Credits are restored automatically if a render fails or a safety filter blocks the photo.
