Speculation regarding a new project from rapper Drake began following a series of cryptic Instagram posts. These posts included imagery of a CD case inscribed with the phrase “FEAR OF MISSING OUT” and a previous caption reading “FOMO 2026”. Observers theorized the phrase might refer to a new album, documentary, or tour.

Following these rumors, Drake announced that a project titled ‘Fear of Missing Out’ (FOMO) is scheduled to premiere on YouTube on September 15, 2026. Drake has since confirmed this will take the form of a YouTube livestream scheduled for 9:00 PM EST. The announcement utilized black-and-white graphics featuring island and Ferris wheel emojis but did not specify the exact nature of the content.

Industry observers suggest the project could be a new album, tour announcement, music video, or visual documentary. If the project is a musical release, it would constitute Drake’s fourth major project of 2026, following the May release of the ‘ICEMAN’, ‘HABIBTI’, and ‘MAID OF HONOUR’ trilogy. Clues pointing toward a musical release include the involvement of producers London Cyr and B4uuuuuuuuu, as well as a recent video snippet of Drake performing an R&B-style track.
