To do the Drake Burning Bridges AI trend with your face, open the Drake Burning Bridges AI trend on vswp, add one photo to the host's card and start. The 30-second clip is a fan-made AI version of the party from Drake's "Burning Bridges" video, with a man in a red-and-black plaid shirt in front: you take his place, while the guests, the room and the song stay. You can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes.
What is the Drake Burning Bridges AI trend?
The Drake Burning Bridges AI trend, also searched as Burning Bridges AI, the Drake party AI trend or the Drake Burning Bridges meme, puts someone else in Drake's place at the party from his "Burning Bridges" video. These AI versions spread on TikTok and Threads in late September 2026, as people put themselves, friends, pets and characters like Shrek or Walter White in his spot.
The clip on vswp is one of these fan-made versions, not Drake's official video. In the handheld footage, the man dances close to the camera, points, waves, raises a silver cup and holds a hand over his eyes as if scanning the room. Men in caps, hoodies and T-shirts, some with drinks, crowd behind him under crystal chandeliers in warm, low light.
Where do the song and video come from?
"Burning Bridges" is a Drake song from the album "Iceman", released on May 15, 2026 by OVO Sound and Republic, with the official video out that day. Read as a diss aimed at A$AP Rocky, it peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Toronto media reported that the party was filmed in the private dining room of Sotto Sotto, an Italian restaurant in Toronto's Yorkville area.
Who should take the host's place?
- You, cup raised, the party behind you.
- The friend who is always the center of the party, or this year's birthday person.
- The friend who just burned a bridge. New job, big move, dramatic exit from the group chat: the song's title does the joke.
Ask first, whoever it is. Only the host changes; for several friends in one video, pick a group clip from the trends list.
How do you make it on vswp?
- Open the trend. The host is already found on the Drake Burning Bridges AI page; sign in with Telegram, no password needed.
- Add a photo to the host's card: a JPEG, PNG or WebP of you, or of a friend who agreed.
- Check your photo. A clear face and visible body help define your appearance in the scene (see below).
- Make the free preview: about 5 seconds at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark, one per new user.
- Create the full video at 480p or 720p. The price in Telegram Stars depends on length, quality and the number of people and is shown first; if the render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back.
- Download or share the MP4, with the original sound.
How does your photo change the appearance?
Your photo guides the face, hair and build. The AI redraws the foreground dancer's body while keeping the movement from the clip. A photo of one person with the body clearly visible gives it more detail to work with.
If clothing matters, choose a photo that shows the outfit clearly. The result can differ from the photo, so check the preview rather than expecting an exact copy of the clothes.
More on how replacement works: swap only the face or the whole person.
Which photo works best for this scene?
- A clear, front-facing face. The cup and his hands cross his face at moments, and a sharp frontal photo helps the likeness hold through them. Where his hand hides his face, yours stays hidden too.
- Nothing over your face: no glass, sunglasses or hand. The clip brings its own cup.
- Just you. The crowd behind him stays as it is, so skip group shots.
- Even light. The room's warm, low light stays as in the clip, so a sharp daylight photo beats a dark, grainy one from a club.
Hands, the cup and the busy crowd are hard spots for generative AI; if something looks off, make another take, which is a new render. More tips: which photos work best for an AI video swap.
Where does the horizontal video fit?
The result keeps the clip's shape: a horizontal MP4 at 480p or 720p with the original sound. It fits YouTube and other horizontal posts as is, and works just as well in a Telegram chat or on a TV at your own party. In vertical feeds like TikTok or Reels it stays wide, since vswp doesn't crop it. For captions, labels and music, see how to post an AI video on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
A note on consent and labels
Use photos only of people who agreed: by starting a video, you confirm you have the right to use the video and the photos. When you post, say it's AI-made and a fan version, not Drake's video. Rules differ by country; in the EU, the AI Act's disclosure rule for deepfakes applies from August 2026. This is not legal advice.
