The viral clip, which has spread quickly across social media, features the ‘Headlines’ singer going about his day in his apartment when the drone seemingly tries to capture the screen of his laptop.

As the drone hovers closer, Drake is visibly startled and reacts to the unexpected intrusion.
A brief clip circulating online shows Drake stepping onto his deck and being confronted by the buzzing of the drone.
He pauses, does a double-take, and quickly retreats indoors. Moments later, he returns holding an orange Yeezy slide. While it seems he intended to knock the drone out of the sky, his throw falls short.

Drake tosses the slide in the direction of the drone, but the attempt is weak. The drone evades the throw, almost seeming to mock him, before zooming out to capture a wide shot of the penthouse and the expansive Australian skyline.
