Drake and J. Cole recreate the iconic chess photo of Messi and Ronaldo
Today the rappers premiered their video “First Person Shooter” which was directed by Gibson Hazard. The video begins with Brian Baumgartner, also known as Kevin from The Office, listening to the track while playing at work. It then quickly pivots to show the two rappers playing table tennis, only for the room around them to transform into a stadium.
Among many other references in the video is the famous Louis Vuitton 2022 photo featuring Lionel Messi and Criatiano Ronaldo playing chess. Drake and J. Cole can be seen briefly recreating that iconic image.
Drake recently concluded his co-headlining tour with 21 Savage, but will return to tour from January to March with J. Cole.
The reason for the tour is none other than the celebration and staging of “For All the Dog,” the Canadian rapper’s most recent album which features collaborations with all sorts of well-known artists including; SZA, Teezo Touchdown, 21 Savage, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Yeat, Sexyy Red and Lil Yachty.
Drake and Cole’s relationship dates back to popular collaborations including 2011’s “In the Morning” and 2013’s “Jodeci Freestyle” (which later appeared on Drake’s 2019 Care Package project) .
