Rick Ross Goes Off On Drake’s Triple Album Run With “Iceman Melted” Uppercut

Rick Ross reignited his feud with Drake on Friday after the Toronto rapper unexpectedly released three albums in a single day, flooding streaming platforms and social media with new music, celebrity disses, and criticism from longtime rivals.

Drake released “ICEMAN,” “Maid of Honour,” and “Habibti” on May 15, delivering 43 new tracks that quickly dominated discussion throughout hip hop circles. Reported by Page Six, several songs appeared to contain shots aimed at Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled, LeBron James, Rick Ross, and other public figures connected to recent rap tensions.

Ross responded through multiple Instagram story posts mocking fan reactions surrounding the rollout. During several clips, he sarcastically repeated the word “bars” while reacting to praise directed toward Drake’s lyrics before later declaring the rapper “washed.”

One of Ross’s sharpest remarks compared Drake’s “ICEMAN” title directly to his upcoming album “Set In Stone.” Ross wrote, “Iceman melted, Stone lasts forever,” while promoting the June 2026 release.

Friction between both artists has steadily intensified since Drake’s conflict with Kendrick Lamar fractured relationships across hip hop during the past year. Ross, once among Drake’s closest collaborators, publicly sided against him before later releasing the diss track “Champagne Moments.”

Their partnership previously produced major rap records including “Aston Martin Music,” “Stay Schemin,” and “Money In The Grave.” During a recent live performance, Ross removed Drake’s vocals from “Aston Martin Music” before performing the track for fans.

Ross also targeted Drake’s supporters directly, posting “RIP to the Drake stans” while suggesting listeners were struggling to defend parts of the release online.

Another jab referenced Drake’s acting career before rap success transformed him into one of music’s biggest stars. Ross reminded followers he had already been “making big boy records” while Drake was still appearing on the Canadian television drama “Degrassi.”

Reaction to Drake’s triple album release remained sharply divided across music circles Friday. Some listeners praised the ambition behind the rollout and amount of material released simultaneously. Others criticized portions of the project as bloated, repetitive, and overloaded with filler tracks.

Despite criticism, streaming momentum surrounding the albums remained massive as fans dissected lyrics, celebrity references, collaborations, and hidden shots spread throughout the releases.

Ross appears committed to extending the rivalry while anticipation builds surrounding “Set In Stone” and Drake’s next response.

For longtime hip hop listeners, tension between Drake and Rick Ross now stretches far beyond isolated diss tracks. One of rap’s most successful partnerships has gradually transformed into a public fallout unfolding through lyrics, performances, interviews, and social media posts viewed by millions in real time.
