5 Things Drake Really Wanted Us to Notice in His ‘FOMO’ Livestream

Drake ’s promotion of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) four months after unleashing three albums left many wondering whether a fourth LP was on the horizon. The Tuesday evening (Sept. 15) live premiere didn’t exactly answer that question, but, unsurprisingly, the 6 God previewed new music and delivered videos for records from HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR that were not included in ICEMAN Episode 4 .

Although Drake clarified that it would be a “not-so-short film,” FOMO was a buffet-style, hour-long visual loaded with the Toronto superstar’s daily grooming routines, pickleball, summer travels, partying, silliness, luxurious flexes, nostalgic callbacks, and more. Though many have turned their backs on him in recent years, he made sure to include several folks within his inner circle who stayed true, such as Kevin Durant, Sexyy Red, TV Gucci, Gordo, Zack Bia, and more.

Some new friends and collaborators also popped up, adding even more excitement about what could be coming soon. (Not to mention, he announced a world tour is on the docket for 2027 in an interview before the stream.) Between his trio of albums in 2026, a possible fourth, and another worldwide trek, Drake’s 2026-2027 is already worth discussing among his most lauded eras, namely his Take Care, Views , and Scorpion LPs.

If you haven’t watched FOMO , have no fear. VIBE is here to give you the five key takeaways .

Most of FOMO was soundtracked by records from the May R&B project HABIBTI and dance-ready MAID OF HONOUR , so it only made sense that women made up the majority of the film. Sexyy Red sported red lace and twerked in his house for the “Cheetah Print” video, Stunna Sandy joined him to ride jet skis in Turks and Caicos for “Outside Tweaking,” and his mother Sandra “Sandy” Graham—with her new “ICEMOM” tattoo—had a night out on the town with her friends for the “True Bestie” visual. Drake even included footage of their conversation about how long they had been friends and how they met him as a child. In another moment, they’re in a car talking about how confused they were when they first heard “True Bestie.” Editor’s picks The 250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century

Winnie Harlow, Lena The Plug, and his “20 V 1” winner Pinkchyu also had lengthy cameos. Lena stopped by “The Embassy” and took a dip in the pool as he looked on from his balcony. Pinkchyu got a full shopping spree, which included Drizzy dressing up as a goth to match her energy. They also sat on thrones and watched gladiators fight one another at Medieval Times. He dedicated a lot of time to spotlight his third annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event, where he gifted attendees vehicles, bags, and money. Some may call it pandering, image rehabilitation, or anything that would devalue his consistent commitment to highlighting women throughout his career. Either way, it was effective, well-curated, and true to the Certified Lover Boy’s ethos.
