Drake is set to release new music in just under a month.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the Canadian rapper invited fans to search for a blue folder hidden within a huge installation of ice cubes in downtown Toronto.<\/p>\n
One keen follower, a streamer named Kishka, was the first to discover the file, revealing Iceman is set to drop on 15 May.<\/p>\n
And on Tuesday, Drake – real name Aubrey Graham – confirmed the news by posting an image of the words “ICEMAN” and “MAY 15” in red and blue text via Instagram. He added an ice cube emoji.<\/p>\n
Iceman marks the 39-year-old’s ninth studio album.<\/p>\n
The project serves as a follow-up to his 2025 offering, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, which featured the tracks Nokia and Somebody Loves Me.<\/p>\n
Previously, Drake has referenced the title Iceman by sharing an image of Val Kilmer on social media.<\/p>\n
The actor, who died at the age of 65 in April 2025, famously played Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky in the 1986 film Top Gun.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Drake is still pursuing legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG).<\/p>\n
In 2025, the Hotline Bling star sued his and Kendrick Lamar’s shared record label over his rival’s diss track, Not Like Us. In the song, Kendrick calls Drake a “certified paedophile”.<\/p>\n
While UMG’s lawyers ultimately prevailed with their motion to dismiss the case last October, Drake filed his notice of appeal the following month.<\/p>\n
In the most recent filing, Drake’s legal team called for the court to send the case back and for the defamation claims to be decided at trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drake is set to release new music in just under a month.
