Drake has released a 12-minute music video for “Child’s Play,” the song that sees Drake fighting with his paramour in a Cheesecake Factory, and it is full of valuable lessons: Don’t leave your phone behind when you go to the bathroom. Don’t wear a white shirt if you’ll be drinking red wine (or having it poured over your head). And definitely don’t cheat on Tyra Banks.

Banks plays Drake’s girlfriend, who doesn’t take the news of his infidelity well and who seems to take great satisfaction in smashing cheesecake in his face as horrified bystanders, who presumably drive Camrys and go to Disney, look on. Drake quickly rebounds in the second half of the video, however, by hitting a strip club managed by OB O’Brien—perhaps a preview of Drake’s own Houston club, the Ballet, which he confusingly announced won’t be about “no strip-club shit” but will in fact feature women dancing on pedestals.

Drake has been also teasing a different video project, Please Forgive Me, which will debut Sept. 30.
