Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake has been making major headlines recently as he navigates both personal triumphs and legal challenges heading into the final weeks of 2025. The Canadian rapper kicked off his Anita Max Win Tour in Australia on February 4th, delivering an emphatic message to fans during the Brisbane Entertainment Centre show. Wearing a hoodie covered in faux bullet holes with smoke trailing behind him, Drake took the stage to deliver a powerful statement. "I come all the way from Toronto, Canada. The year is now 2025, and no matter what, Drizzy Drake is very much alive and that's all thanks to you. I love you," he told the crowd, marking his first major public appearance since Kendrick Lamar swept several Grammy Awards for the diss track "Not Like Us."
The tour itself represents Drake's triumphant return to international stages. His UK dates have been confirmed as part of the Anita Max Win tour, with performances scheduled at Wireless Festival in London from July 11th through 13th, followed by shows in Birmingham on July 20th and 21st, and Manchester on July 25th and 26th. These mark his first UK performances in six years, creating significant anticipation among his British fanbase.
Beyond touring, Drake has been actively working on new music. He recently announced a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor titled "Some Sexy Songs 4 U" per Variety, signaling fresh creative output. Additionally, according to DJ Akademiks, Drake is deep into production on his highly anticipated ninth studio album called "ICEMAN," which sources indicate will arrive very soon. The project has been shrouded in secrecy as Drake focuses intensely on the creative process.
On the business front, Drake filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group in January, claiming the label approved and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of "Not Like Us," which he argues falsely accuses him of serious crimes and calls for violence against him. Most recently, both Drake's legal team and UMG requested a holiday break in the proceedings, pushing key brief deadlines from December into January and beyond, allowing Drake time with his family during the festive season.
Speculation continues to swirl regarding Drake's next major tour plans. Industry insiders suggest he may be plotting an ambitious global tour in 2026 to compete with Kendrick Lamar's record-breaking "Grand National" tour, though these reports remain unconfirmed at this time.
