Canadian rapper and singer Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, made headlines again on Tuesday when he premiered FOMO, an hour-long project he describes as a "not so short film." It includes an unreleased song in which he says "pray for Gaza."

Genius, the lyrics and music-annotation site, published the song's words this week.

Not his first public statement on the war

In late 2023, Drake signed an open letter from Artists4Ceasefire calling for a ceasefire after ‘Israel’ launched its offensive on Gaza. 

In May, he released three albums, one of which reportedly included lyrics aimed at music producer DJ Khaled over his silence on the war. 

Together with the open letter and now "Pray for Gaza," Drake has referenced the conflict repeatedly in his work and public actions.

The track has not been released commercially. For now it is available only through the FOMO premiere and the published lyrics.
