Drake dropped not just one, but three new albums on Friday, releasing “Iceman” as expected at midnight ET, along with “Maid of Honour” and “Habibti.”
Rumors started circulating earlier on Thursday that Drake would release “Iceman” followed by “Maid of Honour” about an hour later, according to DJ Hed on X. But Drake announced that the trio of projects would drop simultaneously as his “Iceman Episode 4” livestream finished, revealing the album titles and the message, “All 3 albums dropping at midnight from the biggest sound.” He then unveiled the album cover images with individual posts on Instagram.
Collectively, the three records have a total of 43 songs and feature guest appearances from Future, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red (on two songs), Qendresa, Molly Santana, Central Cee, Popcaan, PartyNextDoor, Loe Shimmy, Iconic Savvy and Stunna Sandy.
It’s been a long road to “Iceman” for Drake, who has been teasing the project as early as 2024, when he referenced Val Kilmer’s character nicknamed “Iceman” in “Top Gun” on social media. Not long after, he shared a screenshot of a folder titled “2.0 – Iceman,” fanning the flames that the record may be called “Iceman.”
Drake began actually teasing the album in July 2025, when he debuted the livestream “Iceman Episode 1” on YouTube and previewed several new songs including “What Did I Miss?” He then followed with two other livestreams that spawned the singles “Which One” featuring Central Cee and “Dog House” featuring July Wolf and Yeat. Just before the release of “Iceman,” he streamed the fourth installment of the series on YouTube.
In late April, Drake revealed the release date for “Iceman” by setting up a middle of ice blocks that were set up in Toronto as a promotional vehicle for the record. Inside of the blocks of ice was a bag that contained the release date for “Iceman,” which was discovered by a streamer named Kishka who retrieved the bag and headed to Drake’s house, where he opened the contents to reveal the date. Not long after, Drake confirmed a May 15 release date on social media.
