A massive frozen sculpture set up in downtown Toronto is expected to unveil the release date of Drake\u2019s new album.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old Canadian announced on social media that the release date for his next project, dubbed \u201cICE MAN\u201d will appear once the structure melts.<\/p>\n

The sculpture which appears to be made up of large ice blocks is located at 81 Bond Street.<\/p>\n

According to CityNews meteorologist Jessie Uppal, based on the current forecast, it may take a least a few days for those ice blocks to melt.<\/p>\n

Overnight temperatures in Toronto are expected to hit -3 C but it is expected to get warmer towards the end of the week with highs of 15 C and 17 C on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.<\/p>\n

The stunt comes after a large explosion\u00a0was seen Thursday night at Downsview in connection with the shooting of a video starring the rapper.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Flyers notifying residents of the planned explosion were circulated before the explosion and Downsview Park said it shared \u201cadvance notifications<\/a>\u201d about the filming through its website and social media channels.<\/p>\n

Downsview Park later apologized to their \u201cneighbours and the surrounding community for the distress that may have been caused by last night\u2019s third\u2011party film shoot at Downsview Park, which included a blast effect and loud noises.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A massive frozen sculpture set up in downtown Toronto is expected to unveil the release date of Drake\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-409183","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
