Where the f–k the function? Drake released the highly-anticipated music video to his $ome $exy $ongs 4 U hit “NOKIA” on Monday (March 31).

Directed by Theo Skudra and shot in IMAX, the black-and-white clip finds Drake hosting a couple of different parties, which he orchestrates from his clunky flip phone. First, he invites a crew of girls for a Carnival-themed celebration before switching his focus to beautiful women flanking him for a night of rollerblading.


Drizzy takes it back to the days of varsity sports while rocking a “Drake” basketball jersey then throwing on a Valley Football jacket, which hilariously promotes “Hotmoms.com.” It’s good to see The Boy having fun again.

There was one superstar cameo in the clip with The 6 God inviting fellow Canadian and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander into the fold.

SGA, who is the frontrunner for 2025 NBA MVP, rocks a Vaffanculo jacket — look that up for a surprise in Italian — and promotes his new Converse signature sneakers. Everything comes to a close with Skuda in the director’s chair surrounded by a group of owls.

“NOKIA” sits at No. 11 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, and the Elkan-produced track should receive a chart boost with the visual’s arrival.

With $4U in the rear-view, all eyes are now headed toward the arrival of Drake’s next solo album. He’s slated to headline all three nights of London’s Wireless Festival in July.

Watch the “NOKIA” video below.
