Viral success
This win for It’s Friday comes after Canadian rapper Drake responded to Sydney Water’s Instagram post asking him to keep the city’s waterways beautiful after a video of him throwing an orange slide at a drone supposedly spying on his Crown Towers penthouse went viral.
The tactical Instagram post, shared via It’s Friday, features a video that opens on Crown Towers and pans down to a rocky harbourside ledge, where the orange slide is seen washed up on the shore. A gloved hand picks up the slide.
The caption reads, “Hey Drake, this yours?? Hope you’re enjoying our beautiful city – but let’s keep it that way.” It goes on to invite Drake to pick up the slide at Sydney Water’s reception desk, where he can also enjoy a complimentary ‘Warragamba Slammer’ (a bottle of Sydney Water).
The very next day, the Canadian rapper shared the Sydney Water video with his 143 million Instagram followers, further fuelling the growing online global conversation. Drake has yet to claim the slide (or the bottle of water).
