After weeks of cryptic teasers and rampant fan speculation, Drake finally unveiled Fear of Missing Out on Tuesday night, though with a few hours of delay.

The Toronto rapper's self-described "not so short film" runs for just over an hour, blending new music, cinematic sequences, celebrity cameos and a series of increasingly bizarre side quests. Arriving roughly four months after Drake's May run of ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, FOMO seems to lean into the Boy's new era.


There is plenty of new material along the way. Drake debuts previously unreleased collaborations with Don Toliver, Yeat and PartyNextDoor, while also unveiling his long-teased interpolation of Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas." In total, nine new tracks or previously unheard musical moments appear throughout the film.

The Don Toliver collaboration was particularly awaited, after Drake's surprise appearance at Toliver's Toronto concert in August. The pair's latest collaboration, "Cold Shoulder," gets a substantial showcase in FOMO.

The film is also packed with familiar faces and Drake mythology. Sexyy Red, Kevin Durant, Winnie Harlow, Lena the Plug, Stunna Sandy and Drake's mother, Sandra Graham, all appear. Drake heads to the Canadian National Exhibition in an Iron Man suit, wears a BRAT shirt and revisits locations and imagery associated with some of his biggest videos, including "God's Plan," "Hotline Bling," "Started From the Bottom," "Headlines" and "Toosie Slide."

There are also more personal and unexpected moments, including Drake appearing to show off the $1 million Tupac Shakur crown ring he purchased at auction in 2023, while another unreleased track includes a line that appears to reference Kendrick Lamar.

At the Toronto premiere, Drake confirmed that he will return to the road in 2027 for a world tour. It will mark his first North American tour since 2023, although dates and venues have yet to be announced. "Obviously, tour is coming and there's other things on the horizon, some big shows," Drake said. "We'll be out 2027 to see everybody again across the world."

And then, almost as quickly as it arrived, FOMO disappeared. Drake's YouTube upload was made private following the premiere, in typical Drake fashion.

The 2027 Grammys Contenders for Song of the Year Should Be Predominantly Women

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 16, “Rolling Stone” is breaking down 11 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

If there’s one through line for the likely 2027 Song of the Year nominees, it’s that it’s a wide-open field. “There isn’t something like a ‘Not Like Us,’ the song that everyone is anointing as the great song,” says Tony Gervino, editor-in-chief of Tidal, citing 2025’s big winner by Kendrick Lamar.

Thom Yorke and Harry Styles Come Together in Epic Conversation

Two years ago, in the summer of 2024, Harry Styles was strolling down a small cobblestone side street in Rome, when he suddenly noticed a face he recognized. It was Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, one of his biggest musical heroes. He introduced himself — just two stars walking the streets incognito, with no entourage. As Styles confesses to Yorke now, with a shy grin, “You, to me, had always been that person that I was scared of meeting.”

Yorke and Styles might seem like they’re from two different worlds — the planet’s most dazzling glam-pop prince versus the high priest of art-rock angst. But today, they’re busy making each other laugh on a sunny July afternoon in London, at a studio near Camden Town. Yorke has been known to be a thorny interview subject, ever since the early days of Radiohead. Yet today he lets down his guard, as he basks in the presence of the equally notorious charm of Harry Edward Styles. They crack each other up like mischievous schoolboys.

No Stairway? Denied! Five Times Led Zeppelin Declined to License Their Song Prior to ‘Narnia’

The trailer for Greta Gerwig’s long-awaited Netflix movie Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew dropped earlier this week. Narnia fans were delighted to catch their first glimpse of child actors David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell as the characters Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, along with a peek of author C.S. Lewis’ mythical land and its magical inhabitants. But classic rock fans were barely able to process any of that once “Stairway to Heaven” began playing.

Simply put, “Stairway to Heaven” is one of the most difficult works in music history to license for on-screen use. There have been several notable attempts over the years, but Jimmy Page and Robert Plant control their own publishing, and they hold onto this particular song quite tight for more than 50 years.

Drake Makes Billboard History With 18th No. 1 R&B/Hip-Hop Album

Drake has become the artist with the most No. 1 albums in the history of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, claiming the record outright with his 18th chart-topper.

The Toronto rapper reached the milestone as HABIBTI returned to the top following the October 2 release of HABIBTI (FOMO), a deluxe edition featuring four additional tracks. The album climbed from No. 35 to No. 1 on the chart dated October 17, according to Billboard, earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the October 2-8 tracking week. That represented a 506 per cent increase over the previous week.
