According to Kurrco on Instagram, ICEMAN‘s into track “Make Them Cry” now boasts the record Spotify’s biggest debut for a rap song with 13.2 million streams in a single day upon its debut. “Not Like Us” previously held that record with 12.8 million streams.

Also, ICEMAN is now the second-biggest rap album debut in Spotify’s history, only behind Drizzy’s own Certified Lover Boy (155 million streams). Of course, it’s also 2026’s biggest album debut on the streaming platform so far. The new record garnered 140.2 million first-day streams.

These commercial achievements are unsurprising for an artist of the Toronto superstar’s size, but they are nonetheless impressive. Surely, he will conquer more records and milestones in the near future, whether they connect to Kendrick or not at all.

Drake’s Kendrick Lamar Disses On ICEMAN

Drake dissed Kendrick Lamar a lot on ICEMAN, albeit in occasionally subliminal and pretty general ways. More specific digs at his height, his inner circle, his disses, and his character peppered many cuts. But the most important factor was the energy. The OVO mogul maintained a defiant and reflective tone throughout the whole tracklist that makes Lamar’s shadow over it hard to ignore.

There’s also a bit of irony with this historic rap song debut record, as Drake’s suing UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” His dismissed defamation lawsuit is currently in appeal.

Elsewhere, other disses on ICEMAN landed against DJ Khaled, LeBron James, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, and many, many more. Again, most folks expected this direction, but they found a lot of lyrical quality to hold them over.

This discussion and focus is clearly translating into massive commercial success for ICEMAN. Also, it goes to show the heights these artists reached after such an explosive face-off, regardless of who’s holding the crown. In this sense, it’s The Boy right now, and many fans celebrated the vindication.

We’ll see what other Spotify records and commercial achievements follow while the critical reception to this trilogy continues to develop.

As caught by yours truly on Twitter, the show’s recent episode saw its titular host reflect on the 6ix God feeling like he was having a normal day while remembering the past two years of strife on the new tracklist. The podcasters didn’t talk in detailed fashion about his other two albums, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. At least, in these clips.

Back to Joe, he said The Boy isn’t being a “victim” and is instead acknowledging the chaos, praising the comeback and comparing it to Jay-Z after Nas’ “Ether” diss track. The hosts had more Hov and Aubrey Graham conversations elsewhere, as caught by CY Chels on Twitter.

Budden compared ICEMAN to Drake’s Scorpion, saying he sounds “evolved” from more violent venom, although Ice pushed back on this a bit. Elsewhere, the group discussed Drake’s ICEMAN disses, specifically his shots at J. Cole for backing out of the Kendrick Lamar battle. Budden assessed Drizzy thought it was a “red flag” for Cole not to talk to him after that feud.

The Joe Budden Podcast Reacts To Drake’s ICEMAN

Also, the JBP debated Drake’s Jay-Z disses, arguing if the two are on the same level or not. Brian “B.Dot” Miller thinks they are, while the others mostly disagreed.

Finally, the hosts discussed Drake’s Kendrick Lamar beef and whether Kendrick “knocked him into adulthood” on ICEMAN. Budden also praised Drake’s link-up with DJ Akademiks, expressing happiness for the long-awaited meeting and celebrating how he avoided other media personalities he’s been associated with as of late.

There’s a lot the JBP delved into here, and even more to dive into with this triple album release. Considering Joe’s past criticisms of the OVO mogul, some fans will feel vindication while others will claim hypocrisy. In any case, there’s a lot of food for thought.

Now, it seems like this new diss reinvigorated pressure on the New Orleans-born producer and executive. A streamer allegedly ran into him recently and tried to get him to say “Free Palestine,” as caught by FearBuck on Twitter. The exact timeline of this clip is unclear, but it seems to be after the ICEMAN diss.

“Yo, Free Palestine, say it one more time. Free Palestine” the streamer told the artist as they walked out of what seems to be a venue. “Peace and love to everybody,” DJ Khaled replied.

We will see if this increased scrutiny leads Khaled to make a more definitive statement on Palestine, the 6ix God, or the backlash he continues to face. Hopefully this has at least shed light on the issue for those who somehow weren’t already aware of the terrors going on.

DJ Khaled Responds To Drake

DJ Khaled may have already responded to Drake via an Instagram post from yesterday (Friday, May 15). It emerged shortly after ICEMAN‘s release. While it’s not an explicit reply, fans read between the lines.

“LET GOD RISE AND ALL HIS ENEMIES SCATTER,” he captioned the post, quoting Sizzla’s “Dem Ah Wonder.” “No man nuh badda than JAH and a wi a run JAH crew. Unoo come in a unoo thousands and two. They stand against you and hating me. Dem just caant go through dem heart nuh clean nor free. I remind dem so much of who they are supposed to be. I am of royalty dem lost dem identity.”

Drake’s beef with DJ Khaled is explicitly unclear, but it likely stems from Khaled staying neutral in his rap beef situations. He continued to link up with folks like Rick Ross in the wake of their Drizzy disses, and the Toronto superstar even had to put his foot down when Khaled claimed he’d be featured on his upcoming album.

Not only that, but Drake’s new album ICEMAN is now the most streamed album of 2026 in a single day, and its intro “Make Them Cry” boasts the same achievement for a song. Other tracks continue to gain traction across not just this tracklist, but the other projects. HABIBTI is an R&B-focused ode to love and the city of Toronto, whereas MAID OF HONOUR is full of club hits and groovy catchiness.

None of this should be surprising to fans of The Boy. But it’s still something for OVO to rally around.

We’ll see what other records and milestones he achieves moving forward, whether on Spotify or other platforms. In any case, this is all pointing to ridiculous first week sales numbers while critical reception settles.

Who Did Drake Diss On ICEMAN?

Speaking of critical reception, a lot of that concerns Drake’s beef reflections on ICEMAN and beyond. The other two albums don’t contain nearly as many shots. But the disses towards Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled, UMG, A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, LeBron James, and many others are a big part of the fan discussion of ICEMAN right now.

Some folks love the energy, whereas others find it to be a sore loser mentality. In any case, it seems like folks are agreeing on a quality standard held up by the 6ix God’s dexterous pen, even if they disagree on its execution. These discussions about who caught shots on the LP also drive a lot of the commercial fanfare and interest in the tracks.

Elsewhere, Drake is making his city proud amid all these achievements and milestones. Toronto’s mayor Olivia Chow shared a thank you note from him after filming at City Hall. She also spoke on the pride and love the city is feeling right now, as their biggest celebrity takes over.

Despite his prison stints and incendiary remarks, 6ix9ine continues to make waves among his fans and supporters. He recently sat down with DJ Vlad to answer a few questions, and the famed interviewers wanted to know Tekashi’s thoughts behind saying this about Joe: “He’s a b*tch, he’s been leaning back for 20 years.” The rapper replied, “Yeah, I said that. I stand on that sh*t.”

6ix9ine Elaborates On His Issue With Fat Joe

Vlad asked 6ix9ine why he made the comment in the first place.

“I think somebody asked me something, and I just said, ‘He’s just a b*tch.’ I think Fate Joe is just a gimmick. I was with him…I never f*ckin’ felt no—like, Fat Joe, it’s not like this…I don’t know how to explain it. He’s just not what people think he is.” Which is? “He’s a b*tch!”

The “FEFE” hitmaker then accused Joey Crack of lying about robbing “50 people in the gym,” saying it was “cap.” 6ix9ine also alleged that Jadakiss, who co-hosts the Joe & Jada podcast with Fat Joe, consistently calls out Joe for making up stories. “I just don’t…I don’t know. I look at him as a hater.”

The conversation continued, with Vlad suggesting that Fat Joe often trolls. “I thought gangstas don’t troll?” questioned 6ix9ine. Then the rapper questioned whether he was allowed to troll and transition the same way his critics were. Check out the clip above.

She continued, “The world was watching, and he’s making us proud. So, yes, he borrowed it one evening, and we had an arrangement, and they put it back in, and so all’s good. But think about how many people, outside Toronto, are watching that. It’s a promotion for the city and his music. It’s not just Canadians, it’s worldwide. So, that was quite incredible fireworks. I watched it on YouTube, I thought, ‘Whoa, spectacular.'”

Additionally, a note reportedly from Drake to Mayor Chow was shared online. It showed a notepad that stated, “Thank you my crodi Crolivia Chow! ICEMAN 2026.” Check out the clip of the mayor on the news above and Drake’s note to Chow below.
