Fans spotted the Boy at CNE dressed up like Iron Man. Is “FOMO” on the way?

After dropping three albums on the same day, it seems Drake might have another project in the works. If not, then he’s surely preparing more visuals to extend the lifespan of the HIM trilogy, as some call it. 

This week, the Canadian rapper was spotted at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto dressed up as one of Marvel’s most recognizable heroes: Iron Man. And it looks like he was shooting a new music video. Naturally, this raised questions about what he’s shooting exactly. Some people suspect it could be for something from the ICEMAN trilogy, which hasn’t received many other visual treatments outside of those that debuted in his final livestream episode.

However, this also fuels theories that Drake has a fourth project that he’s readying to release before the year ends. Considering that he already released three, one of which remained at the top of the Billboard 200 for a few weeks, it seems like it could be a bit of overkill for most. But his fans evidently will eat up anything that he serves, so it should be interesting to see what direction this supposed project might head in.

Is Drake Dropping A New Album Before 2026 Ends?

Over the past few weeks, Drake has been teasing something titled FOMO. What began as an Instagram post ultimately fueled theories online, and Drake recently liked a post that suggested that it was a new project, which comes across as a confirmation of sorts. 

In addition, he also had recent appearances on projects from Karol G and The Game that have gained plenty of traction. Despite his minimal contributions to The Game's "No Brakes," it's sparked plenty of dialogue online.

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the project and anything else Drake is up to.
