Drake’s new short film, Please Forgive Me, has just been released exclusively on Apple Music. The short, which takes tracks from the platinum-selling Views, is an action-thriller that blends Indecent Proposal, The Bourne Identity, and Taken. If you never really pictured Drake as an action movie star, well, here you go.
The short — which is only the second video to come out of Views since “Child’s Play” landed earlier this month — was filmed by music video director Anthony Mandler over the course of a single week in Soweto, South Africa. Featuring collaborators Popcaan and Kyla Reid, the film follows Drake as he lets his unnamed girlfriend (who looks suspiciously like Rihanna) agree to a million-dollar tryst as part of a scheme to make off with the money. The scheme, of course, goes awry, and things only explode from there.
