Rumors about Drake’s son Adonis causing a delay for the upcoming album Iceman spread quickly online, but they have been confirmed as false. The fake news started with a viral post on social media claiming that Adonis accidentally damaged a hard drive containing the album. However, sources confirm that Drake is still actively working on the project, with new music already being released.
Fake Viral Claim About Adonis Delaying Drake’s Album
A tweet from the parody account @DailyNoud went viral on July 25, 2025, claiming:
“🚨DELAYED🚨 (Adonis dropped a basketball on the hard drive)”
The post gained over 114,000 views, leading some fans to believe the album was postponed. However, the account’s bio clearly states it shares fake parody news, and no official sources have confirmed any delay.
Drake has been consistently updating fans about Iceman, including during his Birmingham concert on July 21, where he said:
“I’m working on my album Iceman, so we got a lot to talk about.”
Additionally, he has already released two tracks: “What Did I Miss?” on July 5 and “Which One” featuring Central Cee on July 25 as part of his Iceman livestream series.
Drake’s Recent Music and Feud References
The lead single “What Did I Miss?” addresses past conflicts, including Drake’s highly publicized 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar. Some lyrics suggest he is calling out former allies, including NBA star LeBron James, who attended Lamar’s “Pop Out” concert in June 2024.
One verse from the song says:
“I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d*ck riding gang since ‘Headlines’.”
This appears to reference LeBron’s presence at Lamar’s concert, where Kendrick performed his diss track “Not Like Us” five times. Shortly after, Drake unfollowed LeBron on social media.
Iceman Album Updates and Possible Release Timeline
While no official release date has been announced, Drake has hinted that Iceman is coming soon. Some key details:
- Possible Summer 2025 Release – The album was initially expected in summer, but no exact date is confirmed.
- OVO Fest Connection – Drake traditionally hosts his OVO Fest in early August, which could be a potential release window.
- Tour Schedule – His “Some $pecial $hows 4 UK EU” tour with PARTYNEXTDOOR runs until late summer, possibly aligning with the album rollout.
Fans speculate that Iceman could be a deeply personal project, with fewer collaborations, given Drake’s recent conflicts with industry peers.
Why the “Iceman” Title?
Drake has been dropping hints about the album’s theme for months. The name likely references:
- Kimi Räikkönen, the Formula One racer nicknamed “The Iceman” for his calm demeanor.
- Val Kilmer’s character in Top Gun, also called “Iceman.”
- Toronto’s Iceman Company – Drake featured their branding in his July 4 livestream, driving behind one of their trucks.
Jake Silva from the Iceman Toronto company confirmed the sudden attention:
“People from all over North America started calling us. My father’s phone started blowing up from a lot of our customers.”
What’s Next for Iceman?
With two singles already out, more music is expected before the full album drops. Drake’s Wireless Festival 2025 performance could include new tracks, and additional livestream episodes may preview more songs.
Despite the fake delay rumors, Iceman remains one of the most anticipated albums of 2025.
