Drake is back in the spotlight with a long-awaited announcement. The Canadian superstar has officially revealed that the music video for his hit track ‘NOKIA’ will premiere this Friday, March 28. The announcement was made on his Instagram Story on Sunday, March 23, sending fans into a frenzy as they gear up for the visual release.

“NOKIA” stands out as the clear fan-favorite from Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. Despite being a solo cut, fans praised its emotional depth and infectious replay value, with many saying the track “carried the album” and deserved a visual from the moment it dropped.

The announcement follows growing demands for more content from the duo's surprise hit album. And the timing couldn’t be better—$ome $exy $ongs 4 U has already become the fastest-selling album of 2025, racking up over 500,000 album-equivalent units and on its way to a Gold certification by the RIAA.

Even amid soft, melancholic vibes, fans have found comfort and consistency in the album. Streaming platforms reflect that, with Drake’s track “Fake Love” recently crossing the 1 billion streams milestone on Spotify—making him the rapper with the most songs over the billion mark, now totaling 23 tracks.

The buzz around ‘NOKIA’ also comes as fans reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Drake-Kendrick Lamar beef, a saga still fueling conversations online. While Kendrick’s diss “Not Like Us” made waves, it also sparked Drake’s defamation lawsuit against UMG. Though the battle may simmer down legally, the rivalry remains a hot topic for fans.

Still, Drake appears focused on the music. As one fan posted, “All I care about now is the ‘NOKIA’ video—just give us that masterpiece.” And with its release just days away, the hype around the visual suggests Drake’s not slowing down anytime soon.
