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.

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
