Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake has been making headlines over the past few days with a series of significant music releases and public statements, further cementing his reputation as one of hip-hop’s most dynamic figures. Most notably, he premiered three new songs—That’s How I Feel, a snippet with Yeat, and a fresh remix of Somebody Loves Me featuring Cash Cobain—during his latest Iceman livestream, a platform through which he’s actively reshaping how artists interact with fans by dropping exclusive music and cryptic visuals in real time. The stream, set against the backdrop of Milan’s nightlife, included subliminal imagery like a group of Pinocchios painting Legacy in tomato sauce, fueling speculation around the themes of Drake’s anticipated new album, Iceman, though no official release date has been announced. While the singles have sparked conversation, their commercial performance has been mixed; lead single What Did I Miss climbed to number two before slipping quickly down the charts, and the follow-up Which One failed to make a significant impact, marking Drake’s lowest charting official single since 2017 according to HipHopDX and iHeartRadio. Meanwhile, his collaboration with British rapper Central Cee debuted at number 23 but struggled to break into the top 20—a disappointment considering initial streaming momentum.
Publicly, Drake has garnered intrigue from a candid interview on the Not This Again podcast with Bobbi Althoff, where he revealed that his muse for the new album is WWE superstar Rhea Ripley. He confessed that Ripley inspires him creatively, though playfully acknowledged that his affection isn’t reciprocated, which has added a layer of pop culture flair to his current storyline. In the same interview, he quashed rumors about being afraid to return to Los Angeles in the wake of his widely-publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar, promising he’ll tour the U.S. again soon. Drake also used the conversation to defend himself against criticisms of being a culture vulture and denied persistent rumors about undergoing cosmetic surgery, leveraging humor and self-awareness to manage public perception.
On the touring front, Drake is currently performing with PARTYNEXTDOOR across Europe, with sold-out dates in Paris, Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg, drawing massive crowds and proving his enduring star power, as highlighted by Vivid Seats and Shazam. His live setlists have featured fan favorites alongside new material, keeping audiences guessing with each show.
In business news, Drake continues to build his wealth through high-profile endorsements and deals, including his ongoing partnership with Apple, which reportedly netted him $19 million according to AOL. As he experiments with direct-to-fan engagement and expands his live performances across the continent, industry observers are watching closely to gauge how the lukewarm response to his latest singles and the rollout of Iceman might impact the next chapter of his career. Social media has amplified every move, from snippets leaked on fan accounts to debates over his new collaborations, keeping Drake firmly at the center of music and culture conversations worldwide.
