Drake did a track dump of sorts over the weekend on a website called 100 Gigs.
The site is full of his own archival footage and unreleased songs and according to PEOPLE fans have been digging through his massive content dump and so far one clip featuring himself and his mom has been going viral.
In the clip Drake is seen sitting in during a studio session as he talks to his mother Sandi Graham, who is off-camera.
During their conversation, someone in the Grammy winner’s entourage plays his 2016 collaboration with Rihanna, “Too Good.” The mother and son then discuss the track.
Graham mentions that so far, the Certified Lover Boy’s music has been “very light,” and says he doesn’t get “heavily into things,” to which Drake disagrees.
“No, I get heavy on a couple joints, but this is more about me and Serena,” he says. “I gather!” Graham interjects, seemingly unsurprised about her son sharing his feelings in the song.
“I’m too good to you / I’m way too good to you / You take my love for granted / I just don’t understand it,” the chorus repeats.
The pair begin to talk over one another, and seconds later, “Too Good” begins to play again. They both pause and the studio engineer turns off the music to allow their conversation to continue.
“It’s funny because when I make songs about women, I also make songs for them. So, I know what kind of song to make. If I’m gonna talk about them, I’ll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they’ll like,” Drake says in the video. “I know Serena very well, and I know that she’ll hear it loud and clear, but not hate me for it because it’s lighthearted.”
Graham then poses a very crucial question:
“And she is seeing someone else?”
“I don’t know, Mom,” the rapper replies

Though it’s unclear exactly when the video was recorded, the tennis star, 42, is now married to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
The couple wed in November 2017, and are parents to daughters, Alexis Olympia, 6, and Adira, who was born in August 2023.
Social media has been reacting to the viral clips for days now:

Say whatever you want about Drake, but I remain a fan of his mother. Drake rambles for a few minutes about how Serena won’t be upset that he wrote a song about her & Sandi interrupts to pointedly say “and she is dating someone else” and he just awkwardly tries to brush it off. https://t.co/O1C4IkCPZA
