๐ Teasing and Promotion
Drake began teasing his ninth album in August 2024, which was rumored to be titled Iceman, by releasing the EP 100 Gigs (2024) and cryptic messages on his social media accounts. OVO artist Smiley claimed Drake was doing “hard work” for the album in a June 2025 interview.
Drake brought Gordo to work on the album’s production by August 2025. A possible U.S. tour for the album was teased on social media in the same month.
