Drake dropped not just one , but three new albums on Friday, releasing “Iceman” as expected at midnight ET, along with “Maid of Honour” and “Habibti.”

Rumors started circulating earlier on Thursday that Drake would release “Iceman” followed by “Maid of Honour” about an hour later, according to DJ Hed on X. But Drake announced that the trio of projects would drop simultaneously as his “Iceman Episode 4” livestream finished, revealing the album titles and the message, “All 3 albums dropping at midnight from the biggest sound.” He then unveiled the album cover images with individual posts on Instagram.
