Cameo music videos is when the main focus of the music video is not the artist but an actor or other celebrity, and the artist features in the music video for segments of lip syncing. This can also be similar to a narrative music video as it tends to have a story to it.
An example of this is 'Love The Way You Lie' by Eminem and Rihanna, in which the main focus is on Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox:
The primary storyline is demonstrated by the actors instead of the artists.

The storyline highlights an issue on domestic violence and shows the audience this couple going through phases of bad and good.

The storyline is concluded by the relationship breaking up, which is represented by the house burning down to signify how the relationship burnt down.
This shows how several varieties of music videos can be used in one, such as performance, cameo and narrative are used in this music video.
