The music video for 'Laugh Now Cry Later,' a song by Canadian rapper Drake featuring American rapper Lil Durk, was released on August 13, 2020. The video was directed by Dave Meyers and shot at Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, sparking criticism for its perceived commercial nature.

The song itself has been praised for its laid-back vibe and effortless cool delivery from Drake. Complex described it as 'a vibe, but not an obvious hit record,' neither a pop radio play nor a hard-hitting club record. Lil Durk's appearance on the track was also highlighted, with his vocals serving as a perfect counterpart to Drake's.

Pitchfork praised Drake's delivery, calling the song 'one of the lightest and breeziest Drake songs to come out in a while.' The song received nominations for Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Commercially, the song was a success, debuting at number one on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. Initially intended as the lead single from Drake's sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy (2021), the song was released through Republic Records and OVO Sound as a single on August 14, 2020.

The music video for 'Laugh Now Cry Later' has also been notable for its connection to Nike Inc., with an upcoming collaboration between the company and Drake hinted at in the post's caption. Prior to the release of the song, Drake shared a clip of himself and another person riding jet skis at night on his social media account.

Overall, 'Laugh Now Cry Later' is a catchy and laid-back track that showcases the chemistry between Drake and Lil Durk.
