Drake Announces New OVO Store With Hazy Promo Video
The new flagship location in L.A. opens Saturday.
Two new clips appeared on the OVO Instagram account today. The first finds Drake in an expensive car cruising down the open road. The second has earned more attention: the rapper is leaning on the same vehicle, but this time he has his arm around a young woman, and he takes a moment to lean over and nuzzle her head. Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Be Together"—which Drake sampled for "Hotline Bling"—drifts softly through the back of both teasers, which are cut out from a slightly longer video that you can watch below.
OVO's new flagship opens Saturday in Los Angeles at 130 N La Brea Ave. Revisit Drake's FADER cover story.
UPDATE (12/3 4:50 pm): It looks like Drake's costar in the video is Christina Santini, a model from L.A. She acknowledged her appearance in the video on Twitter on Thursday afternoon.
Santini experienced her first brush with social media fame in 2009 when she became part of a popular Tumblr love story.
