The promotional run for Drake‘s upcoming album has turned a Toronto parking lot into a chaotic treasure hunt. Now, the leftovers from that event are showing up on eBay with shocking price tags. Pieces of ice from the rapper’s massive “ICEMAN” sculpture are being sold online for thousands of dollars. One seller wants $6,000 for a single frozen chunk, while another has listed a larger block for $25,000. The official warning signs that surrounded the installation are also for sale, costing hundreds of dollars each.
How the Treasure Hunt Worked
Earlier this week, Drake placed a giant ice structure in a parking lot in Toronto. The setup was part of the rollout for his new album, ICEMAN. The rapper told fans that the release date was hidden somewhere inside the frozen block. Hundreds of people showed up with tools like hammers, ice picks, and even blowtorches to break it open. Security teams had to step in after young fans tried to climb the structure despite risks of falling ice. The whole event turned into a live spectacle watched by thousands online.
A Twitch streamer named Kishka found the hidden prize inside a blue bag on April 21. The bag contained a large booklet that showed the album release date: May 15, 2026. It also had a message written inside: “2026 will be my year.” The discovery happened at Drake’s OVO mansion, and the streamer showed everything on camera.
The Bizarre Online Listings
Once the ice started melting, fans saw a chance to make money. Resale websites like eBay now have listings claiming to sell actual pieces of the sculpture. One seller posted a small ice chunk for $6,000. Another asked for $25,000 for a larger block. The warning signs from the site are also being sold. Two different sellers listed the yellow caution signs for $600 and $700.
Experts warn buyers to be very careful with these listings. Melting ice is impossible to verify as authentic. Many of these offers could be fake attempts to trick fans who want a piece of music history.
Internet Critics React
Social media did not hold back on this story. Many users called out the sellers for trying to profit off frozen water. One person on X wrote:
“It’s literally trash dressed up as ‘culture.’ Paying 6k for a puddle is insane behavior.”
Others pointed out the obvious science problem with the product. “By the time it ships, it will be a bag of water,” one comment read. Some users joked that the sellers are melting their own freezers and lying about where the ice came from. The conversation has turned into a debate about fan loyalty and where to draw the line.

Background on the Promotion
Drake has a history of unusual album rollouts. For ICEMAN, he wanted to build real-world excitement in his hometown. Before the ice was cracked open, another streamer named BigMonRaph received a large reward. Drake gifted him roughly $6,000 worth of Twitch subscriptions through a secret account for being the first to livestream the structure’s location. The streamer celebrated on camera and shouted out the city of Toronto.
There is no official word from Drake’s team about the ice sales. The album is still scheduled to arrive on May 15, 2026. Until then, the melting remains of the sculpture are just another strange chapter in this album’s story.
