Drake has set the release date for his anticipated “Nokia” video, which will arrive on March 31. The 6 God posted a teaser for the clip on Tuesday (March 25), revealing that the Theo Skudra-directed visual was shot for IMAX.

“NOKIA March 31st Directed by Theo $$$kudra Filmed for IMAX,” he captioned the cinematic trailer, which welcomes viewers into the OVO IMAX universe and changes the “A” into the brand’s signature owl logo.


Shooting in IMAX is an expensive proposition, but there’s seemingly no cost outside of Drake’s budget. “Shooting this in imax is insane. Its 2k per minute to develop the film,” producer BNYX wrote in the IG comments.

A fan hilariously chimed in: “Bro really said Anita Max Resolution!”

Produced by Elkan, “Nokia” dropped from No. 8 just outside of the top 10 to No. 11 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100. The track was on Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s$ome $exy $ongs 4 Ujoint album, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 in February. Drizzy and Party have three other songs from their project collectively on the Hot 100, with “Die Trying” (No. 76), “Gimme a Hug” (No. 78) and “Somebody Loves Me” (No. 83).

It’s anybody’s guess regarding Drake’s next move, but he’s teased his solo LP being up next on his to-do list. The 6 God is also set to headline all three nights of Wireless Festival in London, from July 11 to July 13.

Drake Calls Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Defamatory In Updated UMG Lawsuit

Drake's lawyers say the halftime show aimed to "assassinate the character of another artist," but UMG calls the updated case the latest "absurd" move by the superstar.

Drake has filed an updated version of his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” claiming the rival’s Super Bowl halftime show was intended to “assassinate the character of another artist.”

In an amended complaint filed late Wednesday, Drake’s attorneys say the Super Bowl show, watched by 133 million people and “million of children”, “revitalized the public’s attention” to lyrics calling Drake a “certified pedophile” – a diss that the Canadian superstar claims is false and defamatory.
