Drake Unveils Surrealist Film 'FOMO' With New Music and Guest Appearances
Drake has released his self-funded surrealist film FOMO, featuring him on a speedboat, working out, and wearing a Brat tee, alongside cameos from Sexxy Red and previews of unreleased tracks. The premiere follows his three May albums and his unprecedented simultaneous top-three Billboard 200 placement. During the event, Drake announced plans for a 2027 tour.
The film's premiere caps a remarkably prolific year for Drake, who released three studio albums in May—Iceman, Maid of Honor, and Habibti—originally conceived as a single project. His promotional campaign included constructing a large ice ziggurat in a Toronto parking lot, and he achieved a historic Billboard 200 feat by occupying the top three chart positions simultaneously. The FOMO premiere event also served as a platform for announcing a planned 2027 concert tour.
Beyond the headline moments, the film showcases Drake in various vignettes—speeding across water, exercising, and wearing a Brat-themed shirt—while incorporating a cameo from rapper Sexxy Red and previewing unreleased material. The project was self-funded, which Drake has characterized as "self funded surrealism," suggesting a personal creative investment in this unconventional release format.
This release could signal a shift in how major artists distribute work, as Drake bypasses traditional album cycles for a self-funded hybrid of film and music. Fans may feel both excitement and fatigue from the sheer volume of output, while the industry could see this as a template for multi-format storytelling. The 2027 tour announcement may also shape concert market expectations, potentially influencing how other artists schedule their own live events around a major competitor's plans.
