Drake has returned to the spotlight with a surprise single, ‘What Did I Miss?’, addressing the fallout from his headline-making feud with Kendrick Lamar and calling out those he believes switched sides.
The track, which dropped unexpectedly during a stylized livestream titled Iceman: Episode 1, sees the Toronto rapper reflect on betrayal and shifting loyalties. “Last time I looked to my right, you n****s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around pussies who try me?” he raps, making it clear he feels let down by those once in his circle.
Drake doesn’t hold back in referencing Kendrick’s now-iconic ‘Pop Out’ concert in Los Angeles last June, spitting, “I’m back in your city tonight, walkin’ around with my head high / I saw bro at the Pop Out with them but been dick riding gang since ‘Headlines.’” The lyric appears aimed at acquaintances who publicly supported Kendrick during their lyrical standoff.
The livestream, which began with a cinematic pan of an ‘Iceman’ warehouse, featured Drake behind the wheel of a truck branded with a fake phone number and a cryptic URL, the-iceman.com. As he cruised through Toronto, fans began recognizing him, while he responded with calm ‘love’ and ‘blessings.’
Eventually, he clocked in at the warehouse, watched old performance clips, and performed ‘What Did I Miss?’ in a surreal freezer set surrounded by firearms and flashing lights.
Fans believe all signs point to a new album titled Iceman, with Drake dropping hints in recent Instagram captions. Whether the track marks a new era or a final word on his beef, it’s clear Drake hasn’t forgotten or forgiven.
