Drake Teases Music Video for ‘Nokia’ Amidst Competitive Chart Race
Drake appears to be gearing up for the release of a music video for his hit song “Nokia” from his collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. On Sunday night (March 17), the Toronto superstar dropped hints on his Instagram Story, sharing a photo of an old Nokia phone along with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of a camera on a video set. While he didn’t provide any additional details, fans are already buzzing with speculation.
‘Nokia’ Set to Dominate the Charts?
Since the release of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, “Nokia” has emerged as the album’s standout track, gaining massive streaming numbers and social media traction. With a music video on the way, fans are predicting an even bigger chart surge.
When Akademiks TV shared Drake’s teaser on X (formerly Twitter), fans flooded the comments with excitement. Some believe “Nokia” could claim the No. 1 spot, especially amid heated competition with Playboi Carti’s recent success.
“Even Playboi Carti can’t stop ‘Nokia’ from going No. 1,” one fan wrote, referencing the dominance of Carti’s new album, I Am Music.
Others believe the move is a strategic play to dethrone Kendrick Lamar, whose track “Luther” (featuring SZA) has been dominating the Billboard Hot 100.
“He finally got tired of Kendrick being on top, about time! Shoulda dropped this weeks ago!” another fan commented.
Drake Hints at a ‘New Chapter’ in His Career
The “Nokia” teaser comes just days after Drake hinted at a major shift in his career with a cryptic Instagram post. Alongside a carousel of images—including a screenshot of Daniel Day-Lewis in Phantom Thread—he penned a reflective caption:
“U know I grew up non-confrontational and always treated this game as a sport where my pen won gold, but these days the podium has been hard for all of us to ignore.
I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity that answers some questions, especially about the unanswered texts you’ve been sending me.”
While some Drake fans saw the post as a sign that a new album or career shift was imminent, others weren’t so convinced. Charlamagne Tha God, Elliott Wilson, and other industry figures trolled him for the vague messaging, questioning what exactly he was alluding to.
Regardless of the cryptic post, one thing is certain: Drake is back in full force, and ‘Nokia’ is about to make an even bigger splash. Whether it’s a move to reclaim the top spot from Kendrick Lamar, Playboi Carti, or any other competition, all eyes are now on Drake’s next move.
