Every time Drake drops an album, it becomes a significant pop culture event, so fans were stunned when the rapper unveiled not one, but three albums simultaneously.
To the excitement of his followers, the trio of releases contains 43 tracks in total, titled Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour. The albums showcase partnerships with artists including 21 Savage and PARTYNEXTDOOR, marking his first solo output since his highly publicized feud with U.S. rapper Kendrick Lamar erupted in 2024.
Drake started hinting at the project, named Iceman, through livestreams and social media posts in August 2024, subsequently dropping three singles—What Did I Miss?, Which One, and Dog House—the next summer. Fans decoding the albums for references to the Kendrick Lamar feud won’t be disappointed, as Drake does mention it.
The Hollywood Reporter’s Ethan Millman characterized the rapper’s “overwhelming release strategy” as “about as ambitious a move as possible at perhaps the most consequential moment in his career to date.”
Let’s take a look at the feud between Kendrick and Drake and its mentions in the latest album, Iceman.

The Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud explained
The conflict between Kendrick Lamar and Drake intensified in 2024 when Lamar dismissed the notion of being part of a rap “big three” alongside Drake and J. Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s Like That.
This sparked a quick succession of diss tracks, including Drake’s “Push Ups” and Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” The confrontation grew increasingly personal, with both rappers leveling serious accusations against one another through their lyrics.
The feud quickly escalated beyond music into legal battles, social media fan conflicts, and broader conversations about authenticity, celebrity, and influence in contemporary hip-hop.

The biggest Kendrick Lamar disses on Iceman
Song: Make Them Pay
Lyric: “Damn, who is this guy for real/ I guess a magician/ 100 million streams vanished, no one got questions.”
Lyrics: “And Muggsy Bogues dunked for once, even I’m a bit amazed.
“What is it? The braids? Even when I cut ’em, I could never fade. I mean, it’s Drizzy Drake”
Lyric: “What was the year you said you had slaps, cause I don’t remember it going like that, I don’t remember one word of your raps.”
Lyrics: “But all I can think about is the mountain to climb and the conversations surrounding my music like they’re Twin Peak.
“With Dot back in 2024 was a big piece / So, it’s like, this [stuff] is me, but it isn’t me / Y’all keep on asking me what it did to me, that’s what it did to me.”
Lyric: “Atlanta’ll tell you ’bout my run, you know what I’m sayin’? Ask Pluto, Bank, or 21, you know what I’m sayin’?”
Numerous fans believe the track is a direct response to Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which features the pointed line, “You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance.”
