Drake has scheduled episode four of his Iceman livestream for May 14 — a move that positions the stream as the final tease before the album is due on May 15.

On Wednesday (May 4), the OVO boss took to Instagram with a spare, unmistakable message: the post simply read “EPISODE FOUR MAY 14,” paired with a photo of the number four and an ICE MAN graphic. The 6 God also shared photo collages that appear to document the first three livestream episodes, which date back to July 4, 2025.

No specific start time for the May 14 stream was announced, but the timing points squarely toward a lead-in to Iceman’s expected May 15 arrival. Fans swarmed the comments, trading hype and speculation about what the next 10 days might yield.

“Reminder!: May 15 is International Stay on That Side Day,” one person wrote.

It’s fitting that Drake’s announcement for episode four came just shy of May 6 at 6 p.m. ET.

The Iceman rollout has felt deliberate from the beginning. What started in 2025 has been ramping up in recent weeks, each stunt and post feeling calibrated to keep momentum high.

The Toronto stunt that turned into a clue

That momentum got physical when a massive ice block structure was erected in downtown Toronto. As the installation thawed, streamer Kishka discovered an Iceman folder hidden inside the melting block. The folder contained the album’s May 15 release date — and Drake’s team rewarded the find with $50,000.

Earlier in 2025 Drake released singles including “What Did I Miss,” “Which One” and “Dog House.” He hasn’t issued new music in 2026, and everything points to holding the next material for Iceman’s rollout.

Iceman is being billed as Drake’s first solo LP since his high-profile clash with Kendrick Lamar in 2024 and follows 2023’s For all the Dogs, which topped the Billboard 200.
