Canadian singer and rapper Drake surprised his fans on Friday, July 4, 2025, as he debuted a new track, “What Did I Miss?” from his upcoming album, Iceman. It features some eye-opening bars about people he once called friends.
The song first appeared on his YouTube channel as the rapper did a live stream. It features Drake delivering his signature blend of slick melodies and razor-sharp raps, with the themes of questioning former friends and trying to figure out what led to their betrayal.
What did I miss?
On the song, the Canadian rapper reflects on the fallout from his high-profile clash with Kendrick Lamar, expressing disappointment with those he felt were close to him, who tried to play both sides.
It didn’t take long for fans to catch a few pointed bars that seemingly referenced Lamar and his “Pop Out” concert, held in Los Angeles on Juneteenth 2024, just one month after their headline-making rap beef.
At one point in the song, Drizzy says, “I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been d*ckriding gang since ‘Headlines.’“ The reference to the “Pop Out” is a clear shot at Lamar, who held a Pop Out concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth in 2024. This concert happened just one month following the pair’s infamous beef.
As “What Did I Miss?” follows Drake’s teasing of his upcoming album, which many fans believe is titled Iceman, Drake also premiered a few unreleased tracks during the livestream.
