Drake's Super Bowl Commercial Parodies 'Hotline Bling'

Drake has earned chuckles for his role in T-Mobile's commercial for the upcoming Super Bowl 50 in which his hit song "Hotline Bling" is parodied.

The rapper's 30-second commercial for T-Mobile shows him performing his dance moves before company executives cut the recording to insert a few outrageous changes in the lyrics of his song "Hotline Bling." In the ad clip for the Super Bowl 50, Drake smoothly agrees to grant the requests of the executives, according to Vibe.

The Hollywood Life says the ad is hilarious because it flaunts the rapper's ability to make fun of himself and his work of art. When one of the company executives in the T-Mobile ad asks Drake to make some variations in the song's lyrics to insert the benefits of having a phone plan, he happily agrees and says he loves changes.

When the executives continue to pelt Drake with lyric suggestions that totally do not jive with the song's original mood, the rapper just smiles at them and makes them feel good with their ideas. He then returns to his famous dance steps, leaving the big bosses delighted, the report details.

When they tell him to include some contract stipulations in the song lyrics, the artist only gives them a big smile and acquiesces to their request.

"These changes don't ruin the song at all," says Drake in his Super Bowl 50 ad.

T-Mobile's Super Bowl 50 commercial is trying to tell Americans to switch from their current provider. The company has been trying to pitch itself as the country's "Un-Carrier." However, some of their methods of implementing their contracts go against the U.S. net neutrality rules, The Verge explains.

The newest T-Mobile ad for Super Bowl 50 is not the first time that Drake has starred in a commercial for the country's biggest sports event. It can be remembered that he had starred for a Time Warner Cable ad during Super Bowl 48.
