Drake releases hourlong surrealist film and announces his first world tour since 2023.

The film featured distinctly Toronto-centered scenes, including Drake riding a lime-green luxury speedboat toward the skyline and walking through the Canadian National Exhibition with rapper Loe Shimmy while both wore $150,000 Iron Man suits.
“FOMO” was directed by Theo Skudra, Liam Macrae, Jake Schreier, Zong Li and Glenn Michael. Its vignettes included Sexyy Red in “Cheetah Print,” Stunna Sandy in “Outside Tweaking,” Winnie Harlow in “New Bestie,” and Drake’s mother showing off an “Icemom” tattoo in “True Bestie.”
Drake described the project’s message in an Instagram post, writing, “Nobody is coming to save you. You must use each day to decipher who you love and trust and march forward with them,” and urging fans to take risks such as making a difficult call, taking a trip or leaving—or committing to—a relationship.
The film’s ending referenced Drake’s “Hotline Bling” video: he stood in a matching set piece before a stagehand brought out a stepladder for him to leave the set.
Lena the Plug’s appearance followed her viral interaction with Drake on the dating show “Drake’s 20v1.” Her husband, Adam22, publicly responded to her inclusion by writing, “So proud of my baby!! The boy has great taste,” although the article said the couple’s relationship status remained unclear.
Drake released his hourlong film "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO) on September 15 as a self-funded surrealist project mixing music videos with nine new or unreleased tracks. Complex reported the film premiered on YouTube before being set to private, featuring appearances by Sexyy Red, Stunna Sandy, Winnie Harlow, Kevin Durant, Lena the Plug, and Drake's mother Sandra Graham.
On the red carpet in Toronto, Drake announced plans for a 2027 world tour marking his first North American shows since 2023. "Obviously a tour is coming and there's other things on the horizon," Drake told CTV's etalk. "Some big shows... of course, we'll be out, you know, 2027 to see everybody again across the world."
The film dripped with distinctly Toronto imagery. Drake rode a lime-green luxury speedboat toward the city skyline and walked through the Canadian National Exhibition with rapper Loe Shimmy. Both wore $150,000 Iron Man suits during that scene, according to production details.
Directors Theo Skudra, Liam Macrae, Jake Schreier, Zong Li, and Glenn Michael crafted vignettes tied to specific songs. Sexyy Red appeared in "Cheetah Print" while Stunna Sandy featured in "Outside Tweaking." The film ended with a callback to Drake's famous "Hotline Bling" video—he stood in the matching set piece before a stagehand brought out a stepladder for his exit.
The film showcased nine new or previously unreleased tracks featuring Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor, and Yeat. KJWL confirmed the project included an unreleased Drake and Don Toliver remix of country artist Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas." These collaborations have fans eagerly waiting for official streaming releases.

Content creator Lena the Plug appeared in the film following her viral interaction with Drake on the dating show "Drake's 20v1." Her husband Adam22 publicly supported the inclusion, writing: "So proud of my baby!! The boy has great taste." However, their relationship status remained unclear at the time of the film's release.
After premiering via YouTube livestream on September 15, the film was quickly set to private, leaving fans frustrated. Yahoo reported Drake later re-uploaded the full FOMO to his YouTube channel, giving viewers another chance to watch before official streaming platform releases arrive.
The temporary removal sparked immediate social media demand for the nine previewed tracks on major streaming services. Fans demanded official Digital Service Provider releases for the unreleased audio that appeared in the film. Drake has not yet announced specific drop dates for these collaborations.
