.Drake Starts a Lockdown Dance Trend With New ‘Toosie Side’ Video - Watch it Here
’s new video, “Toosie Side,” which features the rapper doing a meme-generating dance inside his mansion during lockdown. The clip begins with scenes of deserted streets in the rapper’s hometown of Toronto before it moves inside a sprawling mansion — his, judging by the trophies and photos inside — while Drake dances around wearing a stylized mask.
The song’s lyrics don’t seem to address the coronavirus pandemic — “Gotta dance, but it’s really on some street shit/ I’ma show you how to get it/ It go right foot up, left foot slide/ Left foot up, right foot slide/Basically I’m saying either way we ’bout to slide” — but the visuals certainly do, showing a weird contrast between a lighthearted dance and the seriousness of the moment.
A clip of the dance, led by a dancer named Toosie, preceded the song earlier this week — the Toosie and three others were originally intended to appear in the clip, but the pandemic changed that plan., Toosie said. “Drake hit me up and was like, ‘Yo, I need your help,’ So he sends the record. It was just an idea at the time. It was just the hook and a verse. I came up with this dance.
