The wait for the new Drake album, Iceman, has driven fans crazy, but now, someone may have an answer as to why it’s still on the shelf. Influencer Chris Blake Griffith believes Drake is holding off the album due to his current lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
What Is Chris Blake Griffith’s Theory About Drake Album Iceman?
During an interview with The Danza Project, Griffith apologized to Drake for leaking alleged DMs between them.
“If you feel like I breached your trust in any way, shape, or form, I thoroughly apologize,” Griffith said. “I definitely feel like Universal leveraged that transparency between he and I in their lawsuit, simply because the world had never heard his POV on the lawsuit until I posted that.”
Griffith then asked a hypothetical question to answer why Drake’s rumored album Iceman has been delayed for so long.
“If you were suing your employer, do you think they would put dollars and cents behind your project?,” Griffith asked. “I felt like the album was supposed to come out, I’m sure a lot of people did. But (Drake) lost the suit, with an intention to appeal. If you appeal, we go right back into court. He has interrogatories that he has to supply responses to by like late April or something.”
Drake has not responded to Griffith’s claims.

Is There Any Update On Iceman?
Not much is known about Drake’s upcoming album, but fans may have received some intel on its musical direction. During a livestream with rapper DDG, influencer BenDaDonn proclaimed that that he heard a few songs off the album.
“I was like ‘this s*** going crazy,'” BenDaDonn said. “I told (Drake) ‘we wanna hear some more bars.’ He had some turned up club s***, he had some s*** for the ladies and I’m like ‘bro I’m trying to hear some bars.’ And he was like ‘you know what, say no more.’
BenDaDonn claims that this conversation got Drake to scratch several songs off the record to include more bars.
Recently, during Nelly Furtado’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame, Drake told the crowd “Iceman coming soon.”
