Drake’s new video for his latest single “Find Your Love” is being criticized by a high-ranking Jamaican official. Jamaican Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett says the clip — which features Drake being kidnapped by a group of thugs — could give the country a bad image. He tells Jamaica’s “Gleaner,” quote, “We just have to say that care has to be taken by all, including our creative artists, in portraying images of our destination and people.” Bartlett adds, quote, “Gun culture, while not unique to Jamaica, is not enhancing [the island’s image].” Drake and the video’s director, Anthony Mandler, have yet to address Bartlett’s comments.
“Find Your Love” will be included on Drake’s debut album “Thank Me Later.” The record is expected in stores on June 15th.

Drake is also continuing to reveal details about his upcoming “Thank Me Later” album. MTV.com says the emcee was in Los Angeles last Thursday night on his “Away From Home” tour when he announced to the crowd that R&B diva Alicia Keys would be featured on his record. Just before jumping into his track “Fireworks” Drake stated, quote, “This right here is the first song that you will hear when you put that disk in. It’s a song with myself and Miss Alicia Keys.” Drake first debuted “Fireworks” during the start of his tour, and he’s been revealing more of the song as his trek has progressed. He discussed the single last month with MTV saying, quote, “It’s really where I am in my life right now. I know they’re looking forward to the album, so I want them to get a feel of how the story starts off.” Drake’s “Thank Me Later” will also include the singles “Over” and “Find Your Love.” The record arrives on June 15th.
