When it comes to music videos, everyone has their own take. Kai Cenat has certainly shared his, particularly when it comes to Drake’s latest visuals for ‘Nokia’.
Kai Cenat, a well-known internet personality, did not hold back his thoughts on Drake’s new music video for ‘Nokia’. During a lively Twitch livestream, Cenat described how he felt the video should have gone down. The track ‘Nokia’, described by Cenat as a fun song, didn’t need the layers of symbolism that the official video chose to include.
Kai took it upon himself to direct his version of the video right there during the stream. With enthusiasm, he imagined a vibrant setting, possibly in an arcade or carnival, complete with scenes involving roller skates. It was an engaging moment that showcased Cenat’s creative vision, vastly different from the official version directed by Theo Skudra.
The ‘Nokia’ video itself is a hot topic. It features subtle references to Drake’s ongoing rivalry with Kendrick Lamar. From owl symbolism to dance moves reminiscent of Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us’, the video seems to make bold statements. The ending, showing six owls perched on a telephone mast, has been interpreted as a metaphor for Drake’s claimed dominance in the music world.
Drake’s intentions with the video might be to stir the charts once again. After debuting at number 10, ‘Nokia’ has made its way to number 7. Some speculate that the release of the music video, with its symbolic storytelling and not-so-subtle nods to Kendrick, might help push it even further up the Billboard Hot 100.
While fans are left to dissect the video, Cenat’s lively critique provides a refreshing perspective, contrasting the rather serious subtext of Drake’s symbolic narrative. Whether or not Cenat’s version would be better is up for debate, but it certainly has sparked discussions.
The song ‘Nokia’ is also seen as part of Drake’s effort to regain his chart-topping status after his previous hit ‘First Person Shooter’ set off his rivalry with Kendrick. It’s an ongoing battle of dominance that continues to unfold, with Cenat’s commentary adding another layer to the story.
Kai Cenat’s take on Drake’s ‘Nokia’ video offers a lively twist to the ongoing story, bringing a new dimension to the way fans engage with music videos.
