Drake releases wedding-themed video for Falling Back
Earlier today, the Fair Trade singer dropped a wedding-themed music video for the track Falling Back, which is featured on his new album Honestly, Nevermind. Drake can be seen getting married to several women in the video, among whom are Tristian Thompson and Sandi Graham.
The video also includes a 'Free YSL' message which appears on screen, referring to the arrests of artists including Young Thug, Gunna and others on RICO charges in Georgia.
On his Apple Music page for the new album, the rapper wrote a long message. He began saying:
“I let my humbleness turn to numbness at times letting time go by knowing I got the endurance to catch it another time. I work with every breath in my body cause it’s the work not air that makes me feel alive.”
He concluded the message as follows:
“I got here being realistic/I didn’t get here being blind/I know whats what and especially what and who is by my side/Honestly…Nevermind./ DEDICATED TO OUR BROTHER V.”
Honestly, Nevermind is the follow-up album to Certified Lover Boy, which was released less than a year ago on September 3, 2021. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and contained the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single Way 2 S*xy featuring Young Thug and Future.
