Drake delighted his fans with a diverse array of content, including multiple new tracks, in the release of his highly anticipated “not so short film” on Tuesday night. The rapper had previously teased the project on Instagram, accurately labeling it as such.
The film, titled “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO),” ran for approximately an hour and was streamed on various platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. It provided viewers with a glimpse into Drake’s summer adventures and opulent lifestyle, showcasing scenes of him dancing in his luxurious Toronto mansion, sharing moments with his mother Sandra Graham, and cruising on his lime-green luxury speedboat against the Toronto skyline.
Packed with Toronto and Canada-centric references and hidden details, the video featured Drake strolling through the Canadian National Exhibition alongside fellow rapper Loe Shimmy, both adorned in expensive Iron Man suits. The star-studded film included appearances from notable personalities such as SexyyRed, Stunna Sandy, model Winnie Harlow, NBA star Kevin Durant, and more.
Similar to his previous livestream event, Drake incorporated new music into “FOMO,” introducing unreleased collaborations with artists like Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor, and Yeat. The video showcased a total of nine fresh tracks, including Drake’s highly awaited remix of Ella Langley’s hit song “Choosin’ Texas.”
During the Toronto premiere of “FOMO,” Drake revealed plans for a world tour in 2027, hinting at upcoming projects and big shows on the horizon. However, for fans who missed the initial livestream, Drake promptly made the film private on his YouTube channel post-release.
Online reactions from viewers varied, with some expressing disappointment while others praised the film for its representation of Drake’s enduring career in music. 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 sparked excitement among fans with teasers leading up to the film’s release. By sharing glimpses of his personal life and music journey on Instagram, Drake built anticipation for “FOMO,” a self-funded project described as a tale of seizing opportunities and making the most of each day. In his reflective captions, Drake encouraged viewers to take bold actions, embrace change, and appreciate the essence of their own stories in the midst of life’s uncertainties.
