Between dropping a new album and getting married to 23 women in the music video for the lead single “Falling Back”, it’s been a pretty busy weekend for Drake! The Canadian rapper surprised his fans with the release of his new LP Honestly, Nevermind on Friday – and that was just the beginning.
Instead of spending months teasing his new album, Drake simply announced it a day before its release. The 14-track LP hit the shelves on June 17, and he shared a lengthy, poetic message on Apple Music that perfectly summed up its title.
“I got here being realistic/I didn’t get here being blind/I know what’s what and especially what and who is by my side/Honestly…Nevermind,” wrote Drake and signed off the message by dedicating his new record to the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh.
The album’s release was accompanied by a music video for the lead single “Falling Back”. The visual was helmed by Director X, and it opens with Tristan Thompson playing Drake’s best man and hyping him up before his big day, but it quickly turns out he’s not marrying one, but 23 different women.
Honestly, Nevermind serves as the follow-up to Drake’s sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy, which came out less than a year ago and debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, with nine songs making it to the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
