“No way it’s called iceman”: Internet reacts as Drake posts an Instagram update on upcoming album

Canadian rapper Drake is reportedly gearing up to release his next studio album, which is widely speculated to be titled Iceman. Though nothing has been officially confirmed yet about the album's title or release date, fans have taken a number of clues to conclude that a new project is coming soon.

On June 28, 2025, the X (formerly Twitter) account named Kurrco shared Drake's Instagram update that carried the caption: "I C E M A N." Fans took to the comment section to convey their feelings about his allegedly upcoming album.

"No way it’s called iceman," an X user commented.

The rumor started to pick up steam after a curious post from Drake who uploaded a photo carousel to his Instagram on May 24, 2025. The caption only said "I C E M A N"—each letter spaced out—which sent fans and followers into a frenzy dreaming that it was the title of his next LP.

The post included a short clip, alongside a carousel. One of those images of him in a white hoodie made its way to the internet. Other visuals featured high-end wares, like a crystal-encrusted Nokia cell phone, diamond-encrusted Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, and a handful of chains—things often synonymous with Drake's aesthetic and marketing.

Adding even more credence to the theory, one of the photos featured George Gervin's No. 44 basketball jersey. Gervin, a former professional player, was better known in his prime as the "Iceman," a nickname that eagle-eyed fans think links the post to the purported album title.

Speculation builds around Drake’s rumored album

Iceman

Social media commentary has served to only further fuel the speculation fire. Cultural commentator Mal tweeted that the upcoming album is going to be "a bomb," followed by three money bag emojis—indicating that he might have had early access to those unreleased tracks. This claim has yet to be substantiated, but it has only added to the burgeoning hype surrounding the project.

If true, this surprise release would be Drake's first full-length project since his very public and complex artistic beef with Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar.

While there hasn't been any formal rollout or publicity blitz for the upcoming album, the timing would certainly seem to mesh perfectly with Drake's just-announced UK tour. The overlap between new content teasers and scheduled performances has led to speculation that the album may drop around the same time.

In addition to these developments, Drake remains active in other creative pursuits. He is currently engaged in a music challenge titled "SOMEBODY LOVES ME" alongside Kai Cenat. Separately, DJ and producer Gordo has teased a possible collaborative EP with Drake, though no official details have been released.

At this stage, there is no confirmed release date or tracklist for the upcoming album. However, the signals suggest that a new phase in Drake's musical output may be approaching soon. Fans and industry observers continue to monitor his social media activity closely for updates.
