Drake has been teasing a forthcoming album on the heels of dropping the project’s lead single. The rapper dropped “What’d I Miss,” earlier in July, the lead single from the highly anticipated project — his first solo studio album since the start of his feud with Kendrick Lamar. The track shot all the way to No. 2 on the BillboardHot 100. While on tour in Birmingham, England, he played to the sold-out crowd and let them know Iceman is coming.

Just days earlier, Drake took some social media shots at Alex Warren after Warren’s single “Ordinary” blocked “What Did I Miss?” from the top spot.
“Suppressor on the 1 spot, Drake wrote on IG. “I’m taking that soon —don’t worry, one song or another…rule changes and all.”
According to Billboard, the No. 2 debut of “What Did I Miss?” gives Drake 81 Hot 100 Top 10 hits—the most in the chart’s 67-year history.
“What’d I Miss?” dropped just before his three-day headlining stint at 2025 Wireless Festival in the U.K. During the second night of a recent three-night run, he brought out several London-centric artists during the show, including hometown stars Skepta, Central Cee and Dave. Drake also made a proclamation about the prowess of emcees out of London.
“Nobody can out-rap London — nobody,” he told the crowd. “No disrespect to America. No disrespect to my country. But, nobody can out-rap London rappers. This is the best, this is the highest level. This is what I aspire to be.”
The declaration got social buzzing—amidst an ongoing debate surrounding British rappers versus their American counterparts.
