La La Anthony Reflects on Starring in Drake’s ‘In My Feelings’ Video: ‘We Had So Much Fun Shooting That’

La La Anthony starred front-and-center as the love interest in Drake’s “In My Feelings” video, and seven years later, she’s reflecting on the memorable cameo.

Anthony joined 360 With Speedy recently, during which she recalled her friendship with Drake leading to the role in the No. 1 hit’s visual. “I mean, I love Drake,” she said. “I’m a huge Drake fan and he’s a great friend. And I was like, yeah, this is cool. Like, Kiki, do you love me? That was a big, big deal back then.”

She continued: “I have been saying I wanted to do a video, but I wanted it to mean something, or be acting in a video, not just kind of like standing there or whatever.”

Eventually, Drake came back with an idea of La La playing the love interest he’s attempting to win back. “So he’s like, ‘I think I got something for you.’ I was like, ‘What is it?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, this good,’” she added.

La La still hears about her appearance in the video from fans to this day. “We had so much fun shooting that in New Orleans and people still talk about that video,” she told Speedy. “Last I checked, I haven’t checked in a while, but I was like, I don’t remember the number, but it was something crazy. I was like, this video has like, I don’t know, it was like 400 million, something crazy.”

Anthony’s not far off, as the video has nearly 300 million views on YouTube. The Scorpion bounce-fused track topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks.
