There’s a new version of Drake’s latest music video, this time without a cameo by a 20-year-old woman who threw a chair off a highrise balcony in downtown Toronto.

The Canadian artist announced the change on Instagram, reposting a message from the video’s director that says “certain people we don’t condone.”
