"Oh my God, you lied about Iceman coming out!"

The entire hype cycle behind this album for the past 4 months has been based on the lie that it's almost out, that it's almost here.

Iceman coming soon! Here comes Iceman! Look out for the Iceman! The Iceman's almost here! Here's the Iceman!

From every rap page, every proxy account, every Drake-glazing commentator on the internet. But when I do it, it's a problem, it's an issue, it's a bad thing.

Look, either way, I'm happy because I got what I wanted. We have a release date for the album, and it's going to come out on May 15th, I hope.

Look, I will admit there is a non-zero chance that because of the beef and everything that's led up until this point, it might light a fire under Drake's butt. But honestly, Drake is a guy who chases the money, the fame, the popularity, the success. He does what works, and for him, phoning it in has been proven to work.

Either way, it's almost here. It'll be what it's gonna be, and I'm just glad that the release date is around the corner and that we finally have it.
