Drake's FOMO is a film, not an album
After a month of teasing, Drake says Fear of Missing Out is a movie his family made.
In brief
After a month of teasing, Drake says Fear of Missing Out is a movie his family made. FOMO is a self-described "not so short film" directed and scored by Drake's family, out next week. Originally reported by Rolling Stone.
The tease starts
In August, Drake posted photos of his family captioned "FOMO 2026." No explanation, no release date, just the acronym.
“FOMO 2026”
Then a CD cover
Two weeks later he shared an image of a disc titled "Fear of Missing Out," which read like a tracklist reveal without any tracks.
Fans guessed wrong
Online speculation split three ways: a new album, a tour, or a music video. The video camp came closest.
It's a film
On Saturday, Drake confirmed it himself. FOMO is a movie, and his family handled both the directing and the score.

A neon yellow boat
The announcement clip shows Drake piloting a bright yellow speedboat while a woman narrates over the footage.
Two versions of a life
The voiceover lays out the theme: one life where you dodge risk and hold back love, and another where you find what you were looking for.
“In one, you avoid risk and withhold love. You feel like you've gone missing from yourself.”
What to remember
FOMO is a self-described "not so short film" directed and scored by Drake's family, out next week.
