Drake is giving fans a closer look at his family life in his new ‘FOMO’ short film, featuring a special appearance from his mother, Sandi Graham, and her longtime friends.
The film, which premiered on September 15, includes a segment set to “True Bestie” from Drake’s ‘Maid of Honour’ album. The visuals follow Sandi and her friends as they enjoy a day of shopping, beauty treatments and dinner in Toronto.
However, one of the most memorable moments comes when the group shares a story about how Drake almost ended up with a different name.
