Drake has confirmed he is working on a new solo album during a livestreamed gambling session with popular content creator Adin Ross. The announcement came during their “Stake vs Drake & Adin” broadcast on Kick, where the rapper casually dropped the news while placing bets. “Working on a new album right now… it slaps,” Drake said, later clarifying that it’s a solo project. Fans in the chat reacted enthusiastically, flooding the stream with fire emojis. DJ Akademiks also joined the stream to assist in betting decisions.
The project will be Drake’s ninth solo studio album and follows his recent collaboration with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which features tracks like “Nokia,” “Gimme A Hug,” and “Somebody Loves Me.” Though initially scheduled to tour Australia in February for the "Anita Wynn Max" tour, Drake has postponed those dates to late 2025 due to scheduling issues.
This latest livestream highlights the growing intersection between music, gaming, and digital media. Drake's increasing presence on Kick reflects how artists are using platforms like it to engage fans directly—on their own terms. His unscripted, real-time interactions create an event-like atmosphere, offering fans both access and entertainment.
As streaming platforms become central to modern entertainment, “Stake vs Drake & Adin” is more than a casual promo—it’s part of a cultural shift. Livestreaming is no longer fringe; it's now a mainstream tool for artists to control their narrative and connect with audiences beyond traditional media. Drake’s approach signals where the industry is headed: a blend of immediacy, personality, and participation.
