The rapper took to his Instagram Story to post a few videos of himself spending time on his basketball court. "My life for the next however long," he wrote over a video. The court is completed with the numbers "8" and "24" in memory of Kobe Bryant and the basketball icon's 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant who recently passed away in a helicopter accident. The rapper followed that up with two reality-bending clips from Voidz, a Toronto based digital art project. In one video, Drake celebrated having the most Billboard Hot entires of all time, so he popped open a bottle of champagne. All around him were floating bottles of bubbly that spewed out either money or alcohol.

In another clip, Voidz creates another video with Drake and floating chips as the rapper chows down on chips and dip. Check out what Drake has been up to below.
