Before “First Class” took over TikTok, “Nail Tech” arrived in February. The music video for that single features a cameo by City Girls member Yung Miami. The “Nail Tech” visuals have amassed over 23 million views on YouTube.
Jack Harlow has also been seen hanging out with Drake in recent weeks. The two Hip Hop artists traveled to Turks And Caicos earlier this year. That trip included Harlow and Drake giving away $20,000 to a local performer.
