Drake’s music video for "Nokia" stirred controversy, with many critics drawing visual comparisons to Kendrick Lamar’s "Not Like Us." Social media users accused Drake of mimicking Lamar’s style and themes in the black-and-white IMAX-directed video, which showcases the rapper at elaborate parties, rollerblading under neon lights, and using a vintage flip phone. Viewers pointed out similarities in dance sequences, styling of dancers, and even speculated on symbolic meanings, such as Drake's owl symbol flying free as a response to Lamar's caged animal imagery. The presence of NBA stars in both artists' videos further fueled discussions on whether these resemblances were deliberate or coincidental. Despite the debates, "Nokia" remains popular, reaching No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release.
