Others speculated that the commercial may have interfered with the timing of Drake's sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy. On Twitter, MasterJ wrote, "Drake delayed his album for this" and Dan offered, "So we gotta wait months for CLB because of State Farm????" Terrelle B. Sales, EdD, quipped, "Stand-ins don't have lines ... I guess they don't have albums, either."
Drake announced via Instagram on January 20 that his upcoming CLB would be delayed because of a knee surgery he had in October. "I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery," he wrote as quoted by People.
In Super Bowl LV, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played the Kansas City Chiefs for the big title — where both football and commercials ruled.
"The Big Game is the only media event each year where people are as excited about the advertising as they are the event, so we're going to bring fans something entertaining and memorable," said State Farm Chief Marketing Officer Rand Harbert in a statement, quoted by Ad Age.
