Drake Plans a Night Out on His Hotline in Black & White ‘NOKIA’ Video Starring NBA’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
The Elkan-produced track sits at No. 11 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on the Canadian Hot 100.
DRAKE "NOKIA"
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.
