It's going to be a cold summer.
Drake released his latest album, "Iceman," on Friday, May 15. In just one day, it became Spotify's most-streamed album of 2026 and made him the most-streamed artist of the year, according to an Instagram post from the streaming platform.
Not only did the Toronto superstar release "Iceman," but he surprised everyone by dropping two other albums: the electronic-infused "Maid of Honour" and the R&B-heavy "Habibti."
These are Drake's first full-length releases since his 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar. He teased "Iceman" for about a year after releasing the "What Did I Miss?" single on his "Iceman" YouTube series. The title of the project has received criticism as immigration agents have created fear across the country, and Drake has largely remained quiet on political issues throughout his career.
What Drake has always been vocal about is his ties to the sports world. His lyrics are packed with references to athletes, some of whom are his friends. He is a frequent collaborator with his hometown NBA team, the Toronto Raptors. For the "Iceman" rollout, the team "froze" two courtside seats.
Here's a look at the sports references, and support, for Drake's "Iceman" album.
Drake released three albums on May 15, 2026: 'Iceman,' 'Maid of Honour,' and 'Habibti.'
'Iceman' became Spotify's most-streamed album of 2026 within just one day of its release.
These albums are Drake's first full-length releases since his 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The title 'Iceman' has faced criticism due to concerns about immigration agents creating fear across the country.

Of the three albums that Drake released, "Iceman" is the strongest rap performance. The diamond-certified artist shouts out many NBA players throughout the LP.
Drake has a special relationship with Stephen Curry. Ayesha Curry, the four-time NBA champion's wife, is cousins with Mark Robinson aka OVO Mark, who is a close confidant of Drake. On the West Coast-infused "2 Hard 4 The Radio," Drizzy salutes the Golden State Warriors star by referring to his jersey number and his college.
"Back when they was askin' 'bout where Davidson was at/Now everybody got a blue thirty on they back," he says, commenting on how they both rose to fame.
Upon the album's release, Curry shared the cover art to his Instagram stories with a note of congratulations.
The energy of the NBA playoffs extends well beyond the court, filling arenas with sound, color and emotion.

On "Janice STFU," Drake compares himself to the greatness of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game. There's also wordplay with the idea of being authentic when he spits, "They tryna cover it up like a quilt/'Rari go skrrt on a boy like a kilt/Kept it a hundred on paper like Wilt."
Drake references Gilbert Arenas on "Make Them Pay" and how he brought guns into the Washington Wizards locker room during a 2009 feud with teammate Javaris Crittenton. The opening lines explain how Drake has special privilege, "Albany Marina, they done served us a hundred subpoenas/I done got my sh-t inside arenas like Gilbert Arenas."
On the same song, Drake also has some wordplay on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts while reflecting on how his character was tarnished during the beef with Kendrick Lamar. He raps, "And I faced the way they paint me, but it hurts just like the Philly Eagles."
Drake flexes some more lyricism on "National Treasures." He gets witty with late NBA icon Kobe Bryant and his time with Shaquille O'Neal on the Los Angeles Lakers to diss his opponents.
"R.I.P. Kobe, but y'all n-ggas brokie/That's probably why y'all be shackin' (Shaq-in) together," he spits.
On the same song, there is a jab at DeMar DeRozan, who was drafted by Drake's hometown team, the Toronto Raptors, in 2009. DeRozan was involved in the tussle with Lamar since both are from Compton, California, and the basketball player publicly supported the "Not Like Us" rapper. Drake doesn't directly call out DeRozan on "National Treasures," but weaves in clues about the Sacramento Kings, his current team, and the San Antonio Spurs, where DeRozan was traded in exchange for Kawhi Leonard. Leonard led the Raptors to their first championship, which fans like Drake were hopeful DeRozan would do.
Drake's love for aligning himself with sports greats transcends to all sports. On the "Iceman" track "Firm Friends," the OVO boss says that his 8-year-old son, Adonis, kicked around a soccer ball with a well-respected manager watching.
"My son is taking corner kicks in front of Luis Enrique at PSG," he raps in an attempt at proving he doesn't have to fake his numbers for his success, "and y'all are talking about inflating the numbers on DSPs."
This bar is especially timely because Enrique led Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League final. On May 30, the squad will face off against Arsenal in an attempt to capture back-to-back titles.
Kevin Durant and Drake are longtime friends. The NBA star was listed as the A&R for the Toronto rapper's "For All The Dogs" album, and Drizzy previously shouted him out on "Weston Road Flows" from his 2016 album "Views."
Durant gets a new nod on the "Maid of Honour" track "Q&A" when Drake says, "Me and KD got way too much cheese."
The 16-time All-Star showed his support for "Iceman" by posting a zoomed in image of the sparkly glove from the cover art to his Instagram stories.
"Q&A" is about attempting to trust a love interest and there is another basketball reference in Drake's line of questions. He asks, "Why are you kicking your feet up with n-ggas? Are you Michael Jordan?"
Drake has some clever wordplay for a woman he's trying to woo on a "Habibti" track called "WNBA," comparing her to an athlete in the league.
"I know that you ball/I know that you play like girls in the WNBA" he chides his love interest.
The metaphor carries through the song.
"Retire your number/Go out with a bang/What she gonna do for a ring?/Same thing I do for the gang," he raps later.
Any time Drake drops an album, memes are sure to follow. His formula of making content that is easily translatable to memes or Instagram captions has drawn criticism, but also contributed to his commercial success.
"Iceman" is no different. The cover art is simple. It features a single hand wearing a sparkly glove in a tribute to Michael Jackson with a friendship bracelet on the hand's wrist that says "Iceman." The hand is pinching its fingers together to make the shape of the numeral six, an homage to Drake's hometown of Toronto.
The Houston Texans showed love to the album by posting their own version of the cover featuring a bedazzled glove holding up the "H Town" horns and a friendship bracelet that says "H-Town." The NFL team made recreations of all three albums with Kamari Lassiter's eyes peering out of a wall of tape for the "Habibti" cover and a layered image of CJ Stroud, Will Anderson Jr. and Nico Collins for the "Maid of Honour" cover.
FC Bayern Munich also got in on the fun. They posted an image of a hand wearing a goalkeeper's glove holding up the six gesture with the caption, "G0AT MANOUT NOW!"
The Ohio State athletics department offered their own version of the "Iceman" cover with a ruby red Nike glove and a "Brutus" friendship bracelet for their mascot.
The Miami Hurricanes had to join in as well. Drake filmed the video for "God's Plan" on the school's campus. Like the Texans, the Miami athletic department recreated all three cover arts. First, Sebastian the Ibis is wearing a glitter glove with a "Caneman" friendship bracelet. Then, Sebastian's lover, Gigi, peers through a wall of tape for the "Habibti" cover. The collection is rounded off with a photo of Gigi holding flowers with a faded photo of Sebastian in the background in reference to the "Maid of Honour" cover.
The San Antonio Spurs celebrated the release of the album also by incorporating their mascot. The Coyote hopped on the "Iceman" cover art trend and held up the six gesture with a basketball beaded friendship bracelet.
The NBA team flexed further by sharing a photo of Drake with Victor Wembanyama with a simple caption featuring the cold face emoji and the alien emoji.
One more basketball team had to support Champagne Papi. The Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team posted their version of the "Iceman" cover with a glitzy blue glove and a "Go Cats" bracelet. It was the cover for a carousel of photos from Drake's many moments supporting the squad. For the caption, the Wildcats put, "ICEMAN on repeat all summer" with a series of ice cube emojis.
