In the cover art for the song, a home owned by Drake in Toronto is pictured. However, there are countless red pings on the estate, similar to how it would look on a website that lists sexual predators.

Aside from being one of the biggest names in music for some time now, Drake is also a big fan of the NBA.

Over the years, Nike and Air Jordan have worked with countless celebrities to create custom sneakers. Since 2014, Drake has regularly partnered with the iconic shoe brand.

Some of the notable shoes that Drake has worked on include the Charles Oakley edition of the Jordan 8s. While they were never released to the public, the rapper paid homage to the NBA journeyman. Oakley spent two years with the Raptors, which led to Drake helping create this shoe.

In 2017, Drake helped make the "Calipari Pack" to honor then Kentucky head coach John Calipari. The hip-hop icon famously suited up with the men's team once, where he airballed a shot during warm-ups.

Drake's most recent collab with Nike came in 2022 with the "Nocta Hot Step." This did end up being released to the public, and is sold for around $180.

Overall, Drake and Nike have collaborated to make 21 versions of shoes. The first came all the way back in 2014 with the "Anaconda" colorway of the Jordan 3s.
