Music video

In the music video, Drake is annoyed at DJ Khaled for repeatedly calling him to ask for stuff from him. When DJ Khaled requests Drake to make a music video for their song, Drake "calls in a favour" and calls Justin Bieber to play him in the music video. The music video also features Scooter Braun, King Bach and Hailey.

Justin wakes up after a hard night of partying, with his bed and house filled with girls and bottles of alcohol. Justin has a bodyguard following him around the house. The video features multiple scenes of Justin rapping along to the song, changing outfits and displaying a luxurious rapper life-style, with expensive cars and an expensive house.

Justin is then shown waking up in his bed, with Hailey next to him, telling her about the crazy dream he had with Drake asking him to shoot a music video on his behalf. The pair proceeds to go outside and walk Oscar. Justin's phone rings, playing a MIDI remix of Baby, Justin reaches into his pocket, only to see that it's Drake who is calling him. The camera cuts to Justin's terrified face and then cuts to black.

At the beginning of the "music video", there is a huge artwork of Justin at the Grammys in 2016, representing an Andy Warhol inspired pop art image. At the end of the "music video", there is a photograph of Justin from 2014 hung on the wall.

The next two minutes of the music video are of bloopers and credits.

Lyrical interpretation

Throughout the song, Drake name-drops Justin and Scooter.

You would probably think my manager is Scooter Braun, yeah

Since Drake’s a popular rapper himself, he jokes that someone may think Braun is managing him since he manages many popular artists. 

Shit don't even usually get this big without a Bieber face

Drake compares his popularity to Bieber’s. At the time of this single’s release, Bieber was ranked as the fifth most famous person in the world.
