Drake surprised fans on July 4th with a special “Iceman” livestream, where he previewed a series of unreleased tracks—most notably one titled “What Did I Miss?”
The drop quickly sparked conversation online, as fans began dissecting the lyrics for potential shots aimed at Kendrick Lamar. Drake didn’t stop there. He appeared to address the fallout from the beef and the shifting allegiances among industry peers, rapping:
“Askin’ me, ‘How did it feel?’ Can’t say it didn’t surprise me / Last time I looked to my right, you n****s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around p***ies who try me?”*
The bars suggest that Drake feels betrayed by those in his circle who continued to associate with Kendrick during or after their beef. While he didn’t name names, the subtext was loud—and fans are already speculating about who may have switched sides. With new music looming and tensions still high, Drake’s latest preview proves that the battle lines in rap’s most recent heavyweight clash may not be fully erased just yet.
