NEW YORK, May 16 — Canadian rapper Drake has dropped a new album, with two more surprise companion albums to boot — a whopping 43 tracks that stretch over nearly two and a half hours.

Drake — who has kept a relatively low profile since his diss battle with Kendrick Lamar ended with the American’s knockout blow Not Like Us and his lawsuit against his own label was dismissed — had announced the Friday release of Iceman.

But along with it came Habibti and Maid of Honour.

Future, 21 Savage and Sexyy Red are among the artists who were invited to collaborate with the chart-topping Hotline Bling rapper.

And of course, Drake could not let the beef with Lamar go.

On Make Them Remember, he mocks the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lamar’s modest height, a frequent source of ridicule during their battle.

But Lamar — who performed the song to an audience of tens of millions at the Super Bowl halftime show in February 2025 — was not the only one who came in for scorn.

Jay-Z, J. Cole, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky and even NBA legend LeBron James are also in Drake’s crosshairs, according to several media reviews. — AFP

“I don’t give a shit about radio or sales or anything. I’m only trying do something great,” says Jack Antonoff. Despite what it may seem, the tone isn’t aggressive. The New Jersey native is direct and elaborates on his answers, but he’s a nice, polite guy. And the day of the interview, March 31, happened to be his birthday. The busiest man in the music industry was turning 42, and instead of celebrating with his wife, the actress Margaret Qualley, he was at the Rosewood Hotel in London granting this interview to EL PAÍS’ fashion supplement ICON under heart-shaped balloons brought by his team. “Don’t worry, this isn’t a part of the job I dislike,” he replies to apologies for spoiling such a special day.
