Drake’s loyal followers were in for a treat as the renowned rapper unveiled his highly anticipated “not so short film” on Tuesday night. Titled “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)”, the hour-long film, broadcasted live on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple, offered a glimpse into Drake’s summer adventures and opulent lifestyle.
The visual spectacle showcased Drake grooving in his luxurious Toronto mansion, sharing light-hearted moments with his mother Sandra Graham and her friends, and cruising on his lime-green luxury speedboat against the backdrop of the Toronto skyline. Packed with Toronto and Canada references, the film featured a notable scene where Drake strolled through the Canadian National Exhibition with fellow rapper Loe Shimmy, both sporting $150,000 Iron Man suits.
Boasting an array of celebrity appearances, the film included cameos from personalities like SexyyRed, Stunna Sandy, model Winnie Harlow, NBA star Kevin Durant, and adult film star Lena the Plug. Introducing fresh music, the film previewed unreleased collaborations with artists like Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor, and Yeat, along with nine new tracks, including Drake’s remix of Ella Langley’s hit song “Choosin’ Texas”.
During the Toronto premiere of “FOMO”, Drake shared exciting news with fans, revealing plans for a world tour in 2027. Despite the film being made private on YouTube shortly after its debut, reactions from viewers varied. While some expressed disappointment, others praised the film as a testament to Drake’s enduring success in the music industry.
