Drake And J. Cole’s ‘First Person Shooter’ Video Has Fans Asking An Important Question: Why Is Drake Lying About His Height?

Drake’s For All The Dogs album features the track “Fear Of Heights,” which has taken on new meaning after he dropped the Gibson Hazard-directed video for “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole. There’s a lot to unpack here, from Brian Baumgartner reprising his The Office character to Drake and Cole recreating Messi and Ronaldo’s chess-themed Louis Vuitton ad. But eyebrows were raised at one particular graphic around the two-minute mark.

In it, Drake’s height is listed as 6 feet, 2 inches. One quick Google search suggests that Drake is 6-feet tall, and Drake is contradicting himself because he rapped “6’1″, man, a n***a need some leg room” in his More Life track “Sneakin'” featuring 21 Savage.

The discourse is discoursing, with people simply wondering why Drake feels the need to seemingly lie about his height.
