This year we can all count ourselves #blessed because rapper Drake is starring in a Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile.
In the 30-second ad titled "Restricted Bling," Drake is filming his "Hotline Bling" music video while wearing everyone's favorite chunky grey turtleneck sweater and showing off his meme-worthy dance moves.
The spot, created by Publicis Seattle, opens on Drake dancing inside a colorful cube. As he sings, "You used to call me on my cell phone," a few executives from unnamed wireless carriers abruptly stop him to suggest a few revisions to the song.
