'Truth' behind viral drone footage catching Drake out in penthouse as eagle-eyed viewers notice background detail

Drake's orange slider wasn't much of a defence against the drone

Eagle-eyed fans believe they've rumbled Drake after a baffling video of the rapper throwing a slipper at a drone appeared on the internet.

Drake is currently going viral once again after a video emerged which appears to show a drone filming inside of the penthouse in Australia where he is currently staying for his Anita Max Win Tour.

The clip begins by showing a laptop and a glass of wine on a swanky terrace in the Sydney skyscraper before the rapper appears from inside.

Seemingly shocked by the drone, Drake grabs a bright orange slider from inside and attempts to lob it in the camera's direction before it flies off.

Take a look at the frankly bizarre clip below to see what we're talking about:

Now there's a lot to unpack with the video, chiefly the security concerns associated with someone allegedly using a drone to spy on celebrities but also Drake's frankly abysmal attempt at throwing the shoe towards the drone, which goes massively to the left of the camera.

So what is actually happening in the video? Has Drake just been a victim of a massive invasion of privacy or is there something else going on?

If you thought that a high quality drone flying into the apartment of Drake seemed just a little bit nonsensical you're not alone, as it seems likely the video is part of a viral marketing campaign for a gambling site.

The website for Stake, an Australian-Curaçaoan online casino appears on the laptop screen during the opening moments of the clip — something which didn't go unnoticed by fans.

Drake also has an ongoing partnership with the website, which was confirmed by Forbes back in 2022.

"Drake, who is partnered with stake is seen gambling on stake with the laptop conveniently facing the drone," one person wrote on X, adding: "This is an ad, come on people."

"'Drake’s High-Stakes Surprise: Drone Catches Rapper’s Unaware Gambling Session on Stake!' Man will sure do anything to double his cash," a second person wrote.

Particularly eagle-eyed viewers also picked up on the fact that the reflection of another man could be seen in the glass windows, further suggesting the whole video was a stunt.

"You know how you know Drake never looks in the Mirror? He doesn't know how reflections work," penned one unimpressed viewer.

"This ain't even a troll, you can actually see the drone operator in the video."

"Drake deserves an Oscar for overacting," a second wrote, while a third added: "I'm extremely concerned with the apparent tens of thousands of people who can't tell that the drake drone video is some kind of stunt. he's not even acting that well in it."

LADbible has contacted Drake's reps and Stake for comment.
