Drake has been embroiled in another online debate. This time, it's Nokia and the internet is in a frenzy. Nokia is the song on his 2020 Dark Lane Demo Tapes. It wasn't exactly received as an immediate club hit at the time, but thanks to Latto, that's all changed.
Recently, Latto called Nokia a “certified banger in the club,” and that was all it took for social media to explode. Fans, skeptics, and retired club-goers alike jumped into the conversation, questioning everything from their playlist choices to the very fabric of nightlife in 2024.
Latto’s praise for Drake’s Nokia sparks viral memes
When Latto vouched for Drake’s Nokia as a club hit, people were… surprised. No one doubted Drake’s ability to make hits, but Nokia wasn’t exactly a song you’d expect to hear while trying to avoid overpriced drinks and bad decisions at 2 AM.
Almost immediately, X lit up with memes. Some fans doubled down on Latto’s claim, insisting that Nokia really does hit differently in the right setting. Others were completely baffled, wondering if they had missed a crucial moment in club culture.
One user summed up their disbelief with a dramatic “OMFG >>>>>” reaction, while another cracked a joke about Nokia being one of the reasons “Drake can’t lose.”
And then there were the skeptics, people who hadn’t set foot in a club since the early 2010s who were suddenly questioning everything.
The debate quickly spiraled into two main camps: those who agreed with Latto and those who were absolutely dumbfounded. For some, the idea of Nokia playing in the club was just another example of how unpredictable music trends have become.
One fan couldn’t believe what they were reading, saying,
“🤣 man what y’all doing in the club nowadays I done retired.”
It was a sentiment echoed by plenty of others who were left wondering when exactly they had aged out of understanding club playlists.
Then there were the die-hard Drake fans, the ones who insisted Nokia had been a banger all along. They defended the song like their lives depended on it, using words like “certified,” “undeniable,” and “classic.” Whether they were being ironic or completely serious is still up for debate.
And then there were the skeptics, the ones who weren’t buying any of this. One confused soul pointed out,
“U don’t see the baddies dancing to Hey Now and Peekaboo in the club 😭😭😭.”
If Nokia is really taking over clubs, what else is on the playlist? Soulja Boy deep cuts? A random 2009 ringtone? The possibilities are both hilarious and terrifying.
So, is Nokia a club banger, or are we just witnessing another bit of viral action where everyone jumps on the joke? Either way, Latto's co-sign has given the song new life, proving that anything can be reanimated if the right people are talking about it.
At the very least, all of this has given us a new reason to return to Nokia and wonder if we've been sleeping on a classic. Or, I don't know, just sit back and enjoy the chaos from the comfort of our own living rooms, safely insulated from any actual club.
