Drake announces release date for Iceman album

Drake is set to release new music in just under a month.

On Monday, the Canadian rapper invited fans to search for a blue folder hidden within a huge installation of ice cubes in downtown Toronto.

One keen follower, a streamer named Kishka, was the first to discover the file, revealing Iceman is set to drop on 15 May.

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.

Iceman marks the 39-year-old's ninth studio album.

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.

Previously, Drake has referenced the title Iceman by sharing an image of Val Kilmer on social media.

The actor, who died at the age of 65 in April 2025, famously played Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky in the 1986 film Top Gun.

Meanwhile, Drake is still pursuing legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG).

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".

While UMG's lawyers ultimately prevailed with their motion to dismiss the case last October, Drake filed his notice of appeal the following month.

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.
