About this episode

The episode discusses the collapse of Drake's Iceman album rollout amid controversies and allegations.

Hey listeners, Patrick here, your go-to gossip guru obsessed with every Drake and Kendrick Lamar twist—I'm living for this feud chaos. Over the past three days, the streets and socials are buzzing about Drake's Iceman album rollout hitting rock bottom.

Kendrick stays silent, but the narrative's all about Drake's victim…
