Drake is stirring up rap conversations again, this time for appearing to take aim at A$AP Rocky in a new snippet from his upcoming album, ICEMAN. The clip, which recently surfaced online, shows the Toronto rapper delivering some icy bars that fans immediately interpreted as a diss. Over a haunting beat, Drake spits, “Talk about Drake and you get a whole lot, talk about Drake and you get you some streams,” before following it up with an even sharper line: “Man how the f**k is your day one gonna testify so you can sit in a box, either you ain’t never did s**t for your brothers or they must’ve forgot.”
Those lyrics have fans convinced that he’s referencing Rocky’s past legal troubles involving his former A$AP Mob associate, Relli. The case, which could have led to serious prison time for Rocky, reportedly caused tension within the group. Listeners online believe Drake’s bars hint at betrayal and loyalty issues among people close to the Harlem rapper. The speculation picked up after users on X pointed out that the lyrics seem too specific to be random, especially given the mention of “testifying” and “day ones.”
The timing of this snippet also adds fuel to the fire. A$AP Rocky has previously taken subliminal shots at Drake in interviews and lyrics, but this seems like Drake’s first direct response. The Toronto artist rarely names names, preferring to let context do the work, and this latest verse continues that approach. His tone is colder, more methodical, and clearly meant to draw attention.
Fans are debating whether this is the start of a new feud or just part of Drake’s rollout for ICEMAN, which still doesn’t have an official release date. So far, he’s teased songs like “Which One,” “What Did I Miss?” and “DOG HOUSE.” Whether or not this track makes the final cut, it’s clear Drake isn’t shying away from controversy as he prepares for his next era.
