It was released on June 3, 2024. It sparked wide internet confusion and mockery,[2] and has been accused of being generated by artificial intelligence.[3] Drake confirmed his feature as real through Instagram.[citation needed] [4][1][5][6]

The Plain White T's frontman Tom Higgenson reacted to the cover with confusion, nonetheless remarking that it was "cool, whatever".[7]
