On Valentine’s Day (February 14), Drake stepped into the role of Sexyy Red’s “Rich Baby Daddy” in the visually captivating music video for their popular track, offering a glimpse into their suburban life alongside their friend SZA.
The video, shot primarily through the lens of an old-school camcorder held by soon-to-be daddy Drake, follows the trio as they attend a lively New Year’s Eve party before Red unexpectedly goes into labor. Together, they rush to the hospital, where the anticipation builds until the arrival of the newborn.
As the new parents celebrate, the scene is joined by scantily-clad women who joyously twerk in the hospital room. The video concludes with a heartwarming nod to Sexyy Red’s recent real-life birth of her second child.
“Rich Baby Daddy” is featured on Drake’s “For All The Dogs” album, which dropped in October. Sexyy Red had previously teased the collaboration while on tour with Drake, cleverly concealing her pregnancy at the time.
In an interview with Billboard last month, the “Pound Town” rapper opened up about the challenges of hiding her baby bump while performing, admitting that the physical strain was difficult to bear. Despite her efforts to keep the pregnancy under wraps, suspicions arose among fans, particularly during the Drake tour.
Red announced the birth of her baby earlier this month, humorously recreating a popular meme of reality star Tiffany “New York” Pollard waiting on her bed with sunglasses. Fans flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages, commending her for gracefully navigating pregnancy while on tour.
