Director Spiff TV has come forward to dish out everything you want to know about Drake’s must-watch “Child’s Play’ music video. Notably, Spiff recalls the infamous moment where iconic model Tyra Banks destroys Drizzy’s face with cheesecake.
According to Spiff, Tyra nailed the now-viral scene on her first take.
“I wanted to try to do it two times, but we ended up doing it in one take. The first take was the money shot. We were prepared with the extra wardrobe and everything if we had to do it again. But I saw that once we had it, we had it, you know? … wanted to try to do it two times, but we ended up doing it in one take. The first take was the money shot. We were prepared with the extra wardrobe and everything if we had to do it again. But I saw that once we had it, we had it, you know?” (Pitchfork)
Spiff also explained why Drake is listed as the video’s co-director.
“Yeah, we just came together—you know, he had the basic idea of it being in the Cheesecake Factory and performing and getting caked in the face and we just added everything else: the wine being poured on him and him performing at the table.” (Pitchfork)
This week, Tyra teased the hilarious Cheesecake Factory scene on her Twitter page.

After months of anticipation, Spiff and Drake officially debuted the visual last weekend on Apple Music.
The lengthy clip begins with the rapper peacefully washing his hands in the bathroom, before realizing that his cell phone isn’t in his pocket. By the time he gets out to greet his girlfriend (Tyra Banks) in the high-class restaurant, it’s too late! She begins to explain how she’s upset that he postponed their one-year anniversary dinner. But then, Tyra totally calls him out on his lies — leading her to smash a cheesecake right into his FACE! (Hollywood Life)
