“All characters in this visual are entirely fictional. The events that occur are purely symbolic and should not be taken literal,†reads the title card for Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice†video. So: No one actually died, and Drake does not actually use an old-school cordless phone IRL. Don’t read into things. (One more note: Kendrick tried his best to get Janet Jackson as a co-star — the song samples her “Any Time, Any Place†— but no dice. The video is still pretty, though.)
