If you’re a Scarborough local you might recognize the location of Drake’s latest music video.
The Toronto rapper dropped a one-minute long, black and white clip on Instagram on Oct. 30, for his new song “No Face,” which was filmed at Scarborough Town Centre, close to Highway 401 and McCowan Road.
In the video, the rapper and a crew of more than ten men, all dressed in his signature OVO brand hoodies, are seen gathered behind Drake as he raps and gestures to the camera.
He can also be seen hanging out the passenger side of a Cadillac that is driving inside the mall as his crew follow in a range of vehicles.
A spokesperson for Scarborough Town Centre confirmed to CP24 that the video was shot in the mall, where he recently opened an OVO pop-up.
Fans who recognize the location have been reacting to the video.
“SCARBOROUGH!!!!!!!” one fan wrote.
“The ends,” another person said.
There were even some known names in the comments.
“Jeeez STC!!” wrote Canadian multi-Olympic gold medalist Andre DeGrasse.
This is not the first time Drake has filmed music videos at recognizable Toronto and GTA landmarks.
In the 2021 music video for his song “What’s Next,” he can be seen riding the TTC subway, rapping in front of the big screens atYonge and Dundas Square, and sitting on the edge of the CN Tower, in a nod to his Views album cover.
In 2017, Drake made use of another Toronto mall when he filmed the video for his song “Gyalchester,” at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, where he also has an OVO store.
