Drake’s latest viral moment had fans talking after a video showed him reacting to an unexpected drone hovering outside his Sydney penthouse. In the clip, the rapper looks startled before grabbing a shoe and hurling it at the intruding device. While the drone dodges the flying sneaker and pulls back to capture a sweeping view of the city, eagle-eyed fans noticed something suspicious—the whole scene looked a little too perfect.

Rather than a random fan getting creative with their surveillance tactics, many quickly suspected the clip was staged. The biggest giveaway? The drone was positioned right in front of Drake’s laptop, which prominently displayed a gambling website. Given his well-documented history with sports betting and his partnership with Stake, it didn’t take long for people to connect the dots.

Drake later confirmed the speculation on Instagram, sharing a post with a telling caption: “The stakes are high. But so am I.” The post included a still of him mid-throw, a Stake-branded shirt, merch from Anita Max Win Tour, and a clip of Big Daddy Marc singing Nokia—a possible nod to the entire situation being one big inside joke.

Stake even fueled the conversation by dropping an inspector emoji under one of the viral posts, further solidifying their involvement. Whether fans were in on the joke or just entertained by Drake’s dramatic reaction, the clip became an instant meme.

Beyond the viral antics, Drake is keeping the momentum going with $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, his collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR. Released on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), the 21-track project spans 74 minutes and features guest appearances from Yebba, Chino Pacas, and Pim.
