The 6 God shared the news during his latest Stake gambling livestream with Adin Ross, hyping up his next full-length effort as a “slap.”
Elsewhere during the stream, Drake was asked whether he’d ever step into the ring for a celebrity boxing match, but quickly answered “no” with a dismissive look on his face. However, he did say that he is open to squabbling up away from the camera and seemed to have an opponent in mind.
During the same livestream, Ross asked Drake if he’d ever consider stepping into the ring for a celebrity boxing match. Drake quickly shut it down, saying he wouldn’t do it publicly and joked, “Behind closed garage doors.” When Ross hinted at Kendrick Lamar as a potential opponent, Drake laughed but didn’t take the bait.
Appearing on the BagFuel podcast earlier this year and discussing whether Drizzy would be in any danger visiting L.A., Malone said: “The only person who wants to kick Drake’s ass is Dot. Dot really wants to kick his ass.
The reveal comes just two months after Drake teamed up with PARTYNEXTDOOR for the R&B-heavy joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which dropped on Valentine’s Day. The 21-track project, featured appearances from Pim, Yebba and Chino Pacas. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 246,000 album-equivalent units. It marked Drake’s 14th chart-topping album, tying him with Jay-Z and Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums by a solo artist.
While $ome $exy $ongs 4 U leaned into a softer, romantic sound, Drake’s upcoming solo release is expected to return to his signature style. It will be his ninth solo studio album and the follow-up to 2023’s For All the Dogs.
