On “Sneakin',” Drake addresses his rap beefs. Given his celebrity status, Drake would likely have the most to lose if he ever lost a rap beef to a rival of his. Therefore, if they continue to beef with him, he’s gonna call for help from his OVO friends.

On October 22, 2016, Drake announced the collaboration by posting a revealing birthday shoutout to 21 Savage over Instagram.

On November 13, 2016, Drake released the song’s official music video exclusively on Apple Music. It was shot in grainy low fidelity, which gave it a homemade, VHS-style look.

In mid-2018, the song was removed from most platforms such as Spotify and YouTube for unknown reasons. On October 27, 2019, four days after its three-year anniversary, the song was returned back.
