Drake lost slide appears again and again in virus posts. Are you real?

The saga with drake viral drone material continues. A video that shows the rapper that throws a light orange slide onto a drone that achieved millions of prospects last week. Now there are several social media contributions that claim that the lost slider has found. But are they real?

Before we get involved, we roll back the tape. So we came here.

Drake's original drone material hit social media last week. It was the perfect combination of funny, silly and bizarre – and it had one of the biggest rappers.

In the clip that immediately became viral, Drake discovers a drone on the balcony of his Sydney Penthouse in the luxurious Crown Towers Hotel. The rapper picks up a bright orange slipper and throws it on the drone. The shot misses his goal – a lot. The drone then flies open and offers a cinematic view of the crown towers.

The video became online on the subject of heated debate, whereby social media posters speculated that it was staged. What led to this conclusion was a recording of a laptop that showed a gambling center at the beginning of the video. Also visible was the shadow of another person who was seen in the window reflections, which many claimed, the drone pilot itself.

Drake, of course, has long completed an ongoing brand business with the Gambling Service share. Although the logo of Take was not available in the video, Social -Media posters quickly began to connect it to the gambling service again. I asked the video last week, but I haven't heard yet.

As I explained in another piece, the video also had a strangely choreographed feeling and had a strange resemblance to a notorious, now dismissed report, which is known to make clips aggressively unshable in the streets of Pueblo, Colorado.

Here things are becoming even more ridiculous.

Drakes supposed orange loop surfaces in new virus posts

A few days after the viral drone material had become viral, Sydney Water-a State company published the drinking water available-a video on his Instagram account and claimed to find drakes lost slide.

In the video, which was taken from the Barangaroo Reserve near Crown Towers, a water representative of Sydney from the luxurious hotel zoomed in to point the camera on an orange slide – which is similar to that of Drake – conveniently on the bay .

“Hey Drake, yours,” asked Sydney Water in the caption. “I hope you enjoy our beautiful city – but let us hold it that way, yes?”

“Feel free to swing past our Parramatta office to pick it up,” continued it, speaking. “We will even dive into a Warragamba -Lammer bottle.”

Sydney Water then marked the account of Crown Towers in the comments and asked if the hotel could “pass on a message to a Mr. Drizzy”. Soon, Uber Australia was also connected to the fun in the comments and offered to deliver the lost free film “to his rightful owner about Uber package.”

Sydney Water's post is undoubtedly a master class in the social media management of companies. It uses an already viral video with a massive celebrity. It is local and yet global. The caption has the right, playful tone to resonate in people. It throws a small promo for its own product, but in a cool, non -calcant way. It even succeeds in collecting other brands to make their way.

It is no surprise that the contribution has collected over 218,000 likes and 1,750 comments at the time of writing this piece.

But on closer examination, the narrative of Sydney Water does not quite match the original drone material.

For the beginning, the drone floats quite low in Drake Penthouse when the rapper shakes the slide on it.

The drone then rises quite a bit before it finally flies away from the crown towers and shows that the penthouse surrounds rather high windows around the balcony.

It is difficult to calculate the upward track of the film, but it doesn't seem likely that it would have passed the windows.

The direction of the draft draft does not seem to fall together with the place where Sydney Water supposedly found it.

As you can see, the Barangaroo reserve is on the right side of the hotel in the Google Maps satellite image below, while the drone flies down (as can be seen on the satellite image).

This is obvious when we align a wide -angle shot from the original drone material with a Google Maps satellite image. For convenience, I turned the satellite view to meet the point of view of the drone material. I also found Sydney's White Bay and Barangaroo Reserve as a reference.

Judging by these pictures if the slide had been over the rather high windows, it would probably have flown in the direction of the country – not in water.

Well, that's all right – and probably Sydney Water only has fun with an already silly situation.

Since then, the video has spread beyond the Instagram of Sydney Water, with several accounts on other platforms that stacked millions of views and stacked thousands of likes and continue the dubious claims of Sydney Water.

“They found the Slide Drake on the drone,” says such a contribution that has collected over 8 million views and 70,000 likes at the time of writing.

The @fearedbuck poster is a popular account known for the change of viral videos and pictures. So far, many of his contributions have been referred to as misleading or fake by X's Crowd Sourcing Initiative of Facts for review, said Community.

There is no community note on the question in question.

Drake's film appears on Ebay?

Since then, the story of Drake's lost film has recorded its own mythology.

There are at least two eBay lists that claim to sell the lost film for thousands of dollars.

The lists are suspicious of the least. For example, the seller of one of them gave the Palisades Park, New Jersey, as their location – a dubious claim, considering that we know that Drake has thrown the slide in Sydney.

The other list of Piggybacks in the story of Sydney Water, which indicates that it is exactly the same film found in the viral post.

The seller of this list also seems to be in the USA

At this point, Drake's infamous lost film is located in at least three separate places at the same time – one in Sydney and two in the USA, how can that be?

This story does not end as you can guess.

Since then, some accounts have associated the narrative of Sydney Water with the suspect Ebay listings and claims that “someone” fished the film out of the water and “listed on Ebay for 5,000 US dollars”.

This special claim comes from the notorious World Starhiphop account, which has 5.4 million followers on X. The post itself has not achieved much traction and sits at 38 likes at the time of writing.

Another contribution from a French account under the name,
Frenchrapus, which repeats the same claims, has accumulated over 8.7 likes and almost 1 million views.

In fact, the contribution is an seams of the original drone material and a clip from the viral Instagram contribution by Sydney Water.

There is no community notes on these articles.

I turned to Ebay to comment on the lists, but I haven't heard yet. Asked about the authenticity of the Instagram post on Drakes Lost Slide, a spokesman for Sydney Water refused to comment on the recording.
