Drake has seemingly poked fun at an extremely explicit video rumored to be of him after it went viral.
As previously reported, the 37-year-old 'God's Plan' artist caused a lot of commotion on X - formerly known as Twitter - after a leaked NSFW video surfaced on the social media platform.
While the grainy footage did not show a clear look at the man in question's face, the 'One Dance' rapper's name was brought into the equation.
It has still not been confirmed who leaked the clip or whether it is Drake in the video.

While there is no proof that the video features the Grammy-winning star as the face is mostly covered by the phone, Kick streamer Adin Ross decided to take it upon himself to ask Drake whether it's his leaked footage.
Ross showed himself recording a voice note to the star, saying: "Yeah, bro, I'm still alive bro. We was just looking at the s***. It's like crazy bro, like godd*mn.
"You're blessed with your voice, you're blessed with performing, you're blessed to be you, you're blessed to be number one," he said, before quipping, "And you're also blessed to have a f***ing missile," - referring to Drake's manhood.
According to the streamer, the rapper himself responded, claiming that the Certified Lover Boy "texted" him "eight laughing emojis," before suggesting he might use the streamer's voice note as his "next album intro".
On Thursday night (February 8), the father-of-one briefly appeared to speak about the inappropriate video during the Nashville stop of his It’s All A Blur Tour - Big As The What? tour.
Speaking to the audience, the 'Way 2 Sexy' rapper said: "I know y’all probably waitin' on me to address this, so the rumors are true," before continuing: "My dad is here! That’s what y’all were waitin’ for?"
He did not elaborate any further about the video.

The "leaked" video comes weeks after sexually suggestive and explicit images of Taylor Swift, which were made using AI, flooded the social media platform.
The lewd AI-generated pictures went viral after being shared by an anonymous account on the platform, with one of the images reportedly being viewed over 47 million times.
X addressed the AI pictures which it was "actively removing," saying in a statement: "Posting Non-Consensual Nudity (NCN) images is strictly prohibited on X and we have a zero-tolerance policy towards such content. Our teams are actively removing all identified images and taking appropriate actions against the accounts responsible for posting them."
Shortly after, the platform temporarily prevented people from being able to search for the 'Love Story' musician - with terms including 'Taylor Swift' bringing up a "something went wrong" message.
Per Billboard, Joe Benarroch, head of business operations at X, said in a statement: "Search has been re-enabled and we will continue to be vigilant for any attempt to spread this content and will remove it if we find it."
