A netizen also made a comparison between Drake and Theo with Kendrick and his creative partner, Dave Free. In addition, they also commented on the aesthetic of the music video. Here is what they had to say:

''Seem like Drake wanted to do Theo a solid after all the years and especially seeing how Kenny put Dave in the front seat on his creative endeavors so I respect that but the video was fitting for the song— color would've really helped if nothing else changed.'' Remarked @Unendtentional

Netizens also jokingly pointed out that they hope the real music video of Nokia drops on April 1 as an April Fool's Day prank. They said:

Nokia is Drake's standout track from his collaborative album with the Canadian musician PartyNextDoor, titled Some Sexy Songs 4 U. It was released on Valentine's Day in February 2025. The album has an energetic vibe and was received well by fans and music lovers.

The song features the classic tune of the Nokia phone, giving a nostalgic feel. It is themed around relationships and complex modern-day communications. The video aesthetics are black and white and showcase carnival dancers.

It has a cameo by SGA, also known as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Canadian basketball player. Drake has also shown his versatility in the video by combining rhythmic verses with melodic runs and so far has received mixed reactions from netizens.
