Drake surprised fans with the sᴜdden release of his latest track, “Nice For What,” on Friday, which has already garnered widespread acclaim. The 31-year-old rapper treated himself to a luxurious dinner at Nobu, a Japanese restaurant in Mayfair, London, on Wednesday evening.
For the fine dining occasion, Drake opted for a casual look, blending into the crowd in an Adidas tracksuit. He wore the brand’s iconic black and white striped trousers paired with a blue zip-up jacket. Completing his ensemble were white trainers adorned with a black and white pattern, and a leather strap watch on his wrist.
Known for his affinity for London, Drake has referenced the city in his music and collaborated extensively with British grime and underground artists over the years. During his Boy Meets World Tour, he famously expressed his admiration, clutching a union jack and declaring London his favorite city.
His dinner outing followed the success of his latest music release, which has been commended for its empowerment of wоmen in the context of the Time’s Up movement. The music video features a diverse cast of influential wоmen including Olivia Wilde, Emma Roberts, Tiffany Haddish, Michelle Rodriguez, Zoe Saldana, and Jourdan Dunn, among others. Drake himself appears sparingly in the video, a decision that has garnered praise on social media for its portrayal of female empowerment.
Fans on Twitter have lauded Drake for his approach, with one commenting, “No one does female empowerment better than @Drake #NiceForWhat,” while another declared, “‘Nice For What’ is my favorite song of 2018 so far. Shoutout to Drake for empowering wоmen.”
