WHAT DID I MISS?
The ICEMAN lead single, released July 5, 2025 after the Iceman: Episode 1 livestream. Press (Wikipedia, Variety, Complex) documents it as Drake directly addressing the aftermath of the Kendrick Lamar feud and people he believes 'played both sides,' with references to Lamar's 2024 Pop Out concert. No lyric reproduction here; the feud framing is reported as press characterization.
