Everything We Learned From Drake’s ‘FOMO’ Short Film
When Drake announced plans for FOMO, plenty of theories were floated on social media by rap fans about what to expect. The 6 God’s “not so short film” arrived on Tuesday night (Sept. 15), just four months after his May trifecta of albums.
Lasting just over an hour, Fear of Missing Out is similar to Drizzy’s ICEMAN livestream, which essentially saw him turn portions of the short film into a visual album for tracks from his HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR albums.
But that wasn’t it, as Drake completed side missions throughout the clip, which featured appearances from Sexyy Red; Stunna Sandy; his mother, Sandra Graham; NBA star Kevin Durant; model Winnie Harlow; Lena the Plug; his “goth baddie” and more.
He couldn’t put together an event like FOMO without some new music, which saw him debut unreleased collaborations with Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor and Yeat.
In all, there are nine new tracks sprinkled throughout the short film, including his anticipated interpolation of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” smash.
Following a premiere of FOMO in Toronto, Drake revealed that he’s set to hit the road again in 2027 for a world tour, which will include his first North American trek since 2023.
“Obviously, tour is coming and there’s other things on the horizon, some big shows,” he said. “We’ll be out 2027 to see everybody again across the world… We’ll see you on tour soon.”
Even after feeding fans three albums, The Boy is still clearly inspired creatively in the studio and has continued working on new ideas, but this feels like more of a care package he wanted to get out, rather than kicking off his next era.
Unfortunately, Drake made FOMO private on his YouTube page after the short film’s debut. Here’s everything we learned from Drake’s short film.
