As Drake and 21 Savage kick off their highly-anticipated joint tour “It’s All A Blur,” The Boy took a moment to touch on some of his existential worries in a new tour trailer.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Drake opened up about his biggest fear of putting in the work only to find out that “all this is for nothing.” Being asked the question of his biggest fear sent him “deep into a spiral of thought” as he considered the possibility of life ending and just fading to black, making him reflect on how “surreal” his life is.

Drizzy went on to talk about Degrassi, which he described as “a TV show that ultimately shaped my life,” and how he “succumb[ed] to peer pressure” at another kid’s house just before his audition. Up until now, he wonders if “something bad happened that day” or if he’s “still high” or “in some coma,” and his current reality is his just a fantasy. “That concept has stuck with me for a lot of years. I mean, it feels like reality, it feels tangible. But I definitely wonder sometimes,” he said.
