Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake is commanding headlines this week with a mix of bold career moves and drama-charged music. The most significant news is his history-making run at London’s Wireless Festival, where for the first time in its twenty-year history a single artist—Drake—will headline on all three nights. He’ll take the stage at Finsbury Park July 11, 12, and 13, delivering a different setlist each evening to kickoff what’s being billed as both the 20th anniversary of the festival and the kickoff of his anticipated UK and Europe tour. Summer Walker, Burna Boy, Popcaan, and other major acts support the lineup, but it is Drake’s triple feature that has fans abuzz and tickets flying. The event not only cements his position as a global live draw but also sets the stage for his next album rollout.
That brings us to the other major headline: the album believed to be titled Iceman. Drake’s rollout began July 5 with a cinematic, hour-long YouTube livestream called “ICEMAN EPISODE 1.” In it, he stars as a fictional employee at a Toronto ice storage facility, blending narrative storytelling with glimpses of his past and unreleased music. The centerpiece is the official release of his new single and video “What Did I Miss?” where Drake addresses themes of betrayal and reignites the public feud with Kendrick Lamar. Notably, the lyrics appear to take shots at former close friends, with pointed references some fans speculate are aimed at LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan, following their attendance at Kendrick’s Pop Out concert. While none of these lyrics name names outright, the speculation has sparked widespread debate on social media. Billboard Hip-Hop notes Drake is “finally speaking on the fallout with Kendrick Lamar,” and his Instagram account—now with over 146 million followers—has seen significant spikes in engagement as a result.
Financially, the machine keeps humming. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Drake continues to pull in millions through business endorsements and ventures, including a rumored $100 million annual partnership with the crypto gambling platform Stake—a frequent subject in both his lyrics and his online persona. He referenced bitcoin’s volatility and fake friends in “What Did I Miss?,” and just days ago, posted a video of noted bitcoin bull Michael Saylor to his Instagram.
With the Iceman album teased for a summer 2025 release, industry speculation is rampant, but an official date is still unconfirmed. For now, Drake’s blend of musical ambition, live spectacle, and headline-worthy rivalry ensures his every move continues to shape the cultural conversation.
