Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' tops US Spotify and Apple Music charts after release
The track, believed to be the lead single from his upcoming album ICEMAN, is generating major buzz following its surprise release.
According to Chart Data, the song quickly soared to No. 1 on both platforms shortly after its debut. Drake, already the most streamed artist in Spotify history, continues to add to his legacy with another chart-topping release. Apple Music also recently highlighted him as the artist with the most entries on its decade-spanning Top 500 list, with 39 songs included.
"What Did I Miss?" marks a strong rebound for Drake after his controversial feud with Kendrick Lamar earlier this year. His previous single "NOKIA" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains in the top 20, while "What Did I Miss?" is expected to break into the top 10 after its first full week of tracking.
The rollout for ICEMAN began with a cryptic livestream before the song dropped, but no official release date for the album has been announced. Drake only teased that it's coming 'soon,' leaving fans speculating whether it will arrive as early as July 11.
With streaming numbers climbing and anticipation building, ICEMAN could become one of Drake's most successful releases yet. As fans wait, the industry is watching closely to see how the superstar navigates his next era.

Nicki Minaj brings up Drake while reigniting tension with SZA
Nicki Minaj continued her public feud with singer SZA this week, making a series of controversial remarks online, including an eyebrow-raising comment about rapper Drake. The tension between the two artists stems from Minaj's suspicion that SZA supported her former manager, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) president Terrence "Punch" Henderson, amid one of Minaj's earlier outbursts. In a now-viral tweet, shared by Akademiks TV, Minaj alleged that she was Drake's original choice to appear alongside Sexyy Red on the track 'Rich Baby Daddy' from his For All the Dogs album. 'I wonder if she know I turned down being on the 'shake dat a** for Drake' song,' Minaj wrote. 'He wanted me & Sexy on it... I said I want to wait for PF2 for me & him to do a Dricki song so it felt more special.' Nicki Minaj reveals Drake originally wanted her and Sexyy Red to be on 'Rich Baby Daddy,' but she turned the offer down, wanting her and Drake to collaborate on her album. Nicki continues violating SZA. — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) July 17, 2025 Minaj didn't hold back, further insulting SZA with an inflammatory statement. "Now that silly goose still out here shaking dat a** for Drake every day. After swallowing his b-lls. Allegedly. Oh Mza give it up," she added. Though she did not provide evidence for the claims, the comments quickly drew attention due to their graphic and personal nature. Drake and SZA previously dated briefly in 2009, as mentioned in the 21 Savage track 'Mr. Right Now,' according to Complex. SZA has not directly responded to the latest accusations but recently addressed Minaj's earlier insults, writing on X, 'I don't give a fck bout none of that weird sht you popping... Y'all have blessed night!' Minaj also directed criticism at other industry figures this week, including Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. She even contacted the FBI after interpreting comments made by TDE affiliate MackWop as a potential threat during a livestream.

Josh Peck can't believe Drake & Josh got away with wild Oprah moment
In a recent interview, former Nickelodeon star Josh Peck opened up about one of the wildest moments from his early TV career, the now-infamous Drake & Josh episode in which his character runs over Oprah Winfrey. The episode, titled Josh Runs Into Oprah, first aired in 2006 and quickly became one of the most talked-about storylines from the show. 'To this day, I'm amazed it made it past the script stage,' Peck said. 'It's just insane, the whole plot centers on me hitting Oprah, and somehow that was fine.' Looking back, Peck says the idea felt bizarre even then, but no one expected it to become such a cultural flashpoint. 'It was such a wild concept, even by early 2000s sitcom standards,' he added. 'But I think that's what made it so memorable. We were doing slapstick comedy, and it just went there full-on.' Now 37, Peck has transitioned into more mature roles and podcasting, but moments like that episode continue to follow him online. 'It's weird how much that scene still circulates. I'll randomly get tagged in memes where people are just shocked we hit Oprah with a car,' he said with a laugh. Despite the absurdity, Peck says he has no regrets. 'I'm proud of what we did, but man… we really hit Oprah with a car.'

Kojo Menne Asamoah named in Drake's lawsuit over alleged bot use in Kendrick Lamar streaming case
Kojo Menne Asamoah has been named by Drake's legal team as a central figure in an ongoing lawsuit related to Kendrick Lamar's streaming performance. According to Billboard, the rapper's legal representatives believe Asamoah played a key role in artificially boosting streams for Lamar's hit track 'Not Like Us' by allegedly deploying bots and other covert tactics. While Asamoah's background remains largely unknown, online speculation suggests he may have ties to digital marketing or the music promotion industry. There is no confirmed connection between Asamoah and Kendrick Lamar, but Drake's legal team asserts that he holds critical information and documents relevant to their claim that Universal Music Group (UMG) engaged in deceptive business practices. Filed on June 4 and made public on July 14, the complaint alleges violations of New York General Business Law. Despite hiring two private investigators and spending over $75,000 in the effort, Drake's team has reportedly been unable to successfully serve Asamoah with a subpoena, according to sources like @Kurrco and @OVODocket on X (formerly Twitter). The broader lawsuit names 63 individuals and focuses primarily on UMG and its executives, including CEO Sir Lucian Grainge, Republic Records co-founders Avery and Monte Lipman, and others. Kendrick Lamar himself has not been directly named in the defamation case. While it remains uncertain whether Kojo Menne Asamoah will be compelled to testify, he is considered a key witness who may possess vital evidence. Though neither Drake nor Lamar has publicly commented or appeared in court, Asamoah's potential involvement could prove significant as the case develops.
