No More Mr. Nice Man
He takes aim at his everyone from Kendrick Lamar to A$AP Rocky to LeBron James
Drake isn’t big on forgiving or forgetting, but they say it isn’t healthy to hold onto anger. On Iceman, one of three albums the rapper delivered at midnight, he blows off steam and takes aim at his current roster of enemies and adversaries.
There are some recurring characters, though no one’s shadow looms quite like Kendrick Lamar’s as Drake addresses the aftermath of “Not Like Us.” The intense feud between the rappers burned bright in 2024, culminating with Lamar taking the Super Bowl halftime show stage and winning five Grammy Awards for the diss track. Meanwhile, Drake took stock of the scorched bridges and betrayal, even filing a lawsuit against UMG and alleging that they had harmed his reputation through the promotion of “Not Like Us.”
Across the album, Drake unloads his pent-up frustration at everyone from Lamar and A$AP Rocky to Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge. Here everyone Drake is mad at on Iceman — and all the backstories.
