Not long ago, a friend asked me a simple question: What’s going on with Drake and this “Iceman”?
Fans and haters alike await his next move, watching every leak and rumor like it’s the playoffs. Calling yourself “The Iceman” isn’t exactly a wise choice in this environment. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is a real and active agency that many people associate with fear and raids. This name sounds awkward. But you know this.
Still, there is hope. A new leaked record suggests Drake may actually be back in his lyrical bag. What’s interesting is how this leak spread. Of course, it was DJ Akademiks who pushed it, followed by the glass… I had to stop after a few bars they offered. Love it or hate it, this is where hip-hop news is headed in 2026.
Here are the lyrics.
“Don’t say I’m not the greatest, you say these guys are great, that’s an understatement, fuck the haters, double agents”
“Even my label gave them 15 years of soul…”

Lyrically, Drake seems to be speaking directly to his haters, people he feels have betrayed him, and even his label situation. The tone felt harsh…even hurt. Sounds like an artist still processing things from the last few years. I doubt the entire album could handle this level of anger, but he clearly has a lot to say.
Reaction to the leak was all over the place. Some fans love it. Others think he complains too much. The third group just got tired of waiting. Personally, I’m indifferent. I just want music. I don’t need Drake to lean into the victim narrative or act like his life is a mess. We all know that’s not the case. He is very rich! Handle the L and keep it moving. Easy for me to say. I didn’t fall from the top of the mountain.
Wait there’s more.
Then there was another rumor circulating. It could be a record or lyrics that J. Cole dissed against him. There was a time when Drake and J. Cole were “first-person shooters.” Now we’re faced with a potentially tense triangle: Drake vs. Cole, Kendrick vs. Drake, Cole vs. Drake, with Kendrick hovering over it all like the ultimate boss.
Be patient and wait…
