Drake’s “In My Feelings” just topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the third consecutive week, and now it has a music video. Directed by his frequent collaborator Karena Evans, the eight-minute clip stars Phylicia Rashad, La La Anthony, and Shiggy, the viral star who helped the song go No. 1 with his “In My Feelings” dance challenge. Yung Miami of City Girls and New Orleans bounce pioneer Big Freedia also make appearances.
Aside from the #DoTheShiggyChallenge, one of the biggest memes from the song comes from its opening lyrics, when Drake raps:
Kiki, do you love me? Are you riding?
Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me
‘Cause I want ya, and I need ya
And I’m down for you always
Last month, Genius broke the story that identified Kiki as K'yanna Barber, an Oakland, California woman with whom Drake has previously been romantically connected. Kiki is played by Anthony in the video, with Rashad starring as her disapproving mother.
“In My Feelings” is also known for its authentic New Orleans bounce, courtesy of the TrapMoneyBenny and BlaqNmilD, the latter of whom sampled vocals from Magnolia Shorty and Lil Wayne.
Genius recently spoke to Shiggy about the “In My Feelings” challenge:
