Canadian rapper Drake staged an unannounced livestream early Friday titled “Iceman Episode 1,” steering a blue, ice-branded truck through downtown Toronto while tens of thousands of viewers followed in real time. The broadcast doubled as a mobile listening party, with Drake playing several unreleased tracks and repeatedly telling the audience to “stay tuned,” fueling speculation that a new project is imminent. Fans flocked to streets and highway overpasses as the truck’s location circulated online, and earlier in the day a “Stay Tuned” billboard bearing Drake’s signature owl logo appeared in the city. The impromptu rollout mirrors the surprise tactics Drake used for previous releases such as 2022’s “Honestly, Nevermind.” The stream was briefly interrupted when a passer-by shouted an expletive at the artist. Video shows Drake braking, leaning out the window and warning, “Don’t look away now … we’ll fold that up right now,” before ending the feed moments later. No injuries or arrests were reported, and Drake has not commented publicly since the broadcast ended.
