The video had some social media users feeling nostalgic.
“Drake putting dude who shot him in ‘Degrassi’ in a music video and having his boys chase him down is the single most full circle satisfying thing I’ve seen today. Also he put my boys Jay and Silent Bob in it. Legendary,” singer Huey Mack tweeted.
