Drake Hypes ‘FOMO’ Ahead of Arrival of ‘Not So Short Film’: ‘They Keep Saying Our Genre Is Dying’

Fear of Missing Out arrives at 9 p.m. ET on Sept. 15.

Drake's highly anticipated FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) short film is set to premiere on Tuesday, September 15. In an Instagram post, the rapper revealed the film's self-funded surreal story, which revolves around making the most of life in one summer. He credits his team and offers life advice before viewers watch, stating that nobody is coming to save them.

Drizzy hopes the short film will inspire people to live fuller lives, encouraging them to make important decisions like calling loved ones, taking trips, dropping songs, opening shops, or making difficult choices about relationships. Despite hearing claims that hip-hop is dying, Drake assures fans that he remains committed to the genre and still loves it as much as he did before achieving global fame.

"They keep saying our genre is dying Videos don't matter Nobody is watching nobody is listening I still care. As much as I did on the set of Best I Ever Had," he concluded. The exact role of Drake's new music in the FOMO remains unclear, but the Canadian artist has been busy this year, releasing three albums in May. "As much as I did on the set of Best I Ever Had," he added, "So be kind and rewind."

The short film will be available for streaming on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
