Drake Teases Upcoming Album, Weighs In on Celebrity Boxing Rumors
Drake isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Just two months after dropping $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with PARTYNEXTDOOR, the 6 God revealed he’s already cooking up his next solo album — and according to him, “it’s a slap.” The announcement came during his Stake livestream with Adin Ross on April 13, where Drake casually confirmed, “Working on a new album right now. It’s a slap.” Simple, bold, and straight to the point.
But the convo didn’t stop at music. When Ross brought up the idea of a celebrity boxing match, Drake instantly shut it down with a quick “no” and a look that said, don’t even go there. Still, he didn’t rule out some behind-the-scenes action, saying, “If we’re fighting, we’ll fight at [Hollywood] Hino’s gym or something like that — behind closed garage doors.” And when Ross hinted at Kendrick Lamar as a possible opponent, Drake didn’t confirm — but his smirk said a lot.
The idea of a Drake vs. Kendrick showdown has been floating around for a while. Glasses Malone even stirred the pot earlier this year on the BagFuel podcast, claiming Kendrick seriously wants to fight Drake: “Dot really wants to kick his ass. He don’t let anything go.” Malone painted a different picture of Kendrick than the one fans might expect — less “good kid,” more “don’t mess with me.”
“He’s a mean person, bro,” Malone said. “There’s this perception that he’s this cool, laid-back guy. Nah. He’s got jokes, he’ll clown you all day, and I’ve had to stop him from throwing hands on tour buses.”
Akademiks also claimed Drake’s not afraid of a little squabble either, saying on one of his Rumble streams: “Drake wanna get a squabble. I’ll bring Drake out to Compton and he gonna whoop on Kendrick.”
So far, Kendrick has kept quiet — no clapbacks, no confirmations. But if this tension ever spills over into the real world, it’s safe to say fans will be watching very closely.
