Drake delighted his fans with a variety of surprises, including multiple new songs, in his highly anticipated “not so short film” released on Tuesday night. The rapper had teased the project on Instagram, accurately labeling it as such.
Spanning about an hour and broadcasted on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple, the film titled “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)” took viewers on a journey through Drake’s summer adventures and extravagant lifestyle. The visual showcased scenes of Drake dancing in his grand Toronto mansion, sharing moments with his mom and her friends, and cruising on his lime-green luxury speedboat towards the Toronto skyline.
The video was rich in Toronto and Canada references, featuring Drake strolling through the Canadian National Exhibition alongside rapper Loe Shimmy in matching $150,000 Iron Man suits. A star-studded affair, the film included appearances from SexyyRed, Stunna Sandy, Winnie Harlow, Kevin Durant, Lena the Plug, and more.
Similar to his previous ICEMAN livestream, Drake unveiled new music collaborations with Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor, and Yeat in “FOMO,” interspersed with nine fresh tracks, including the highly anticipated remix of Ella Langley’s hit “Choosin’ Texas.”
During the Toronto premiere of “FOMO,” Drake hinted at a 2027 world tour, exciting his fans about upcoming shows and projects. Sadly, those who missed the livestream were left disappointed as Drake made the film private on YouTube shortly after its debut.
Reactions to the film were mixed among viewers, with some praising its longevity and consistency, while others found it lacking. Notable figures like Jamaican dancehall artist Spice congratulated Drake on social media, commending his dedication and passion evident in “FOMO.”
Drake, also known as Aubrey Graham, had been dropping hints about the project for weeks, culminating in a series of Instagram posts leading up to the release. His reflective captions and teasers built anticipation for the surrealistic film, encouraging viewers to embrace life’s opportunities and challenges.
In his message to fans, Drake emphasized the importance of taking action and staying true to oneself, urging everyone to make the most of each day and pursue their passions. The film served as a motivational piece, inspiring viewers to make bold choices and believe in the power of their actions within the music industry.
