Ross was shocked and overjoyed when Drake gave him a shout on the track “Make Them Pay,” where he rapped, “Dawg, I was Adin Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed.”

“What the fuck?” he screamed in excitement. “Yo! Holy shit. What the fuck? I made it! … Chat, on my mom and dad’s life—on my sister’s, on everything, I didn’t know I was there. I swear to God, he never told me. That’s crazy.”

Drake hopped on a brief FaceTime call with Ross further into the stream.

“Hey bro, you did it. The entire chat, the entire world—you did it, bro,” Ross told Drake. “I love you.”

“I love you, too,” Drake said back.

Notably, “Make Them Pay” is also the same track where Drake called out his past collaborator, DJ Khaled, for his lack of public support of Palestine.

A number of notable names made appearances during Drake’s Iceman livestream, including DJ Akademiks, BenDaDonn, Shane Gillis, and more.

Drake’s dropped three new albums on Friday night (May 15), making these his first solo studio albums since For All the Dogs in October 2023. A Scary Hours edition of the album was released a month later.

Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti are also Drake’s first albums since his feud with Kendrick Lamar made headlines in the summer of 2024.
