Drake came through with an eerie livestream this evening in which he debuted a new song called "What Did I Miss?" Throughout the livestream, we saw the artist inside of a warehouse with Iceman branding all over the place. Drizzy was even wearing an Iceman hoodie, denoting that a new project is, in fact, on the horizon.
At the time of writing this, the livestream is still going on, and the artist is driving around in a truck while playing more music. Meanwhile, fans are currently in the midst of digesting "What Did I Miss?" which was your typical mix of Drake rapping and singing. However, fans were curious to see if there would be any shots taken at Kendrick Lamar.
Well as it turns out, there were. At one point in the song, Drizzy says "I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been d*ckriding gang since 'Headlines.'" The reference to the "Pop Out" is a clear shot at Lamar, who held a Pop Out concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth in 2024. This concert happened just one month following the pair's infamous beef.
With the livestream ongoing, fans are confused as to what is going on. The artist isn't exactly being forthcoming with any of this. Instead, he is driving around in a large Iceman van while playing music. Some of it is more lowkey, and we can hear Drake rap about the company he keeps and the relationships he has had to end.
There are shots of the back of the van, where we can see a phone number and a website. The website in question is called The-Iceman.com. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working right now. As a result, fans cannot access anything.
We will just have to wait until the end of the livestream before getting the full scope of what is happening. However, if one thing is for certain, it is that the artist has something up his sleeve. But in typical Drake fashion, we're getting it in the most cryptic way possible. His fans will love it.
Reneé Rapp is seen as a “huge inspiration” by SZA.
The 25-year-old artist performed SZA’s Good Days in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, accompanied by two acoustic guitarists and a harp player. SZA, 35, was deeply moved by the rendition.
She posted a short video of the moment on Instagram Stories and wrote: “Renee is a HUGE inspiration, energy, voice spirit.”
During her chat with the BBC, Renee shared her thoughts about the track. She said: “I mean, I love SZA. I mean, she was one of my favorite artists in high school. And she's remained one of my favorite artists to this day. I think she's amazing. She's also, I mean, she's an incredible songwriter, but I think because she has so much swag. People don't realize how good of a singer she is. She's a fantastic vocalist and is really, really, really articulate. And I don't cover a lot of songs anymore. So I wanted to cover something that was, like, slightly challenging and also really vocally impressive, and frankly, hard for me to do.”
Renee is currently in the middle of promoting her second album, Bite Me, and opened up about how much more enjoyable it was to create compared to her first project.
She explained: “I mean, I feel like everything was incredibly different. I stopped listening to people that don't make music, because if you don't make music, then why the hell am I listening to you. And I also think the biggest difference, I think I just got a lot better. I think I have just become a better songwriter. I think I understand how to make pop music now in a way that I didn't really before. And I was very sure about what this album was and thematically, what it needed.
“So I felt like I was quite like, headstrong in like, what was gonna work and what wasn't. Because, nobody knows something better than yourself. I think a lot of things were different. I also just, like, had a lot of fun making it, like, I made it with like, three people, mostly, like, it was always like, four of us in the studio all the time, and we got so close, and some of us were already so close. So it was also just like a mess. It was such a mess, like we were just tweaking every day. It was so fun. And I don't think I enjoyed making the first one as much.”
