Rihanna releases a music video she shot with Drake inside The Real Jerk

Embedded above are the results of Drake and Rihanna’s night at The Real Jerk earlier this month. The video, for the Rihanna single “Work,” in which Drake sings a verse, was done by Director X—the same guy who helped young Aubrey discover his now-iconic grandpa dance in the video for “Hotline Bling.” The interiors could have been shot almost anywhere in the world (the Jerk does not have very distinctive décor), but the front of the restaurant gets a nice, full-screen plug. Fans of Ed Pottinger’s jerk chicken might want to make reservations, because the place has never had advertising like this before.

Drake
HOW IS DRAKE? Ecstatic. Not only does this video burnish his reputation as Toronto’s celebrity rainmaker, it also provides some fodder for the tabloids that obsessively track the progress of his relationship with Rihanna.
