There is a rumor floating around the internet that Drake is in DC filming a music video for “Seeing Green,” the Nicki Minaj song that Drake appears on with Lil Wayne. Yesterday, a photo of a crowd notice supposedly from Warner Records began making the Twitter rounds.

But so far, there have been no verified sightings of Drake in DC. In fact, last night he Instagrammed a photo of him hanging out in LA with fellow celebrities like Michael B. Jordan and LeBron James. And, to top things off, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne are all represented by Republic Records—not Warner Records.
