Drake Confirms 'FOMO' as a Self-Funded 'Not So Short Film'

The family-made 'self-funded surrealism' will stream as a live event, showing Drake's effort to keep long-form visuals central to his work.

Overview

  • Drake confirmed that Fear Of Missing Out will premiere Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 9 p.m. ET and stream on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.
  • He described the project as a self-funded work credited to his inner circle, saying it is “directed and scored by the family” and calling it “self-funded surrealism.”
  • A 25-second teaser shows Drake on a neon-green speedboat with a female narrator framing the film as a choice between risk-avoidance and embracing life.
  • Details such as the film’s runtime, a full cast list and whether it contains new commercial Drake music have not been announced, leaving the soundtrack and commercial plan unresolved.
  • The release follows Drake’s prolific 2026 output and serves as a statement that he still values ambitious visuals, a choice that could affect how his work is promoted and whether new music tied to the film charts or is released separately.
