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.

Arcángel Celebrates His 20th Anniversary With Big Outdoor Shows in Toronto and Montreal

The Puerto Rican urban music star brought his global La 8va Maravilla tour to Montreal's Beachclub and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 11-12 for its first two stops of the summer, performing over an hour and a half of hits spanning two decades.

Arcángel is celebrating 20 years of success. The Latin urban music legend kicked off his global trek, the La 8va Maravilla tour, with two Canadian stops, playing Montreal's Beachclub on July 11 and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 12. The Puerto Rican hitmaker treated the audience to over an hour and a half of hits including 2000s classics and recent party-starters.

Kicking off the show, Lunay delivered a charismatic opening set, showcasing his knack for melodies through tracks like "Fantasías" and "Soltera," which reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019 thanks to its hit remix with Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee. The track received a vibrant roar from the crowd upon its first note, and Lunay delivered all three verses as fans sang every word.
