Drake Drops ‘Habibti’ as Third Release in Surprise Three-Album Rollout

The project aims to extend streaming attention by offering a late-night, melodic counterpoint to Drake’s harder rap set.

Overview

  • Habibti, released Friday as part of Drake’s three-project push with Iceman and Maid Of Honour, is now live on major streaming platforms.
  • The 11-track set, which arrived Friday, features Sexyy Red, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and rising Florida rapper Loe Shimmy.
  • Early coverage frames Habibti as more atmospheric and emotionally layered, positioning it as a late-night listen in contrast with Iceman’s darker rap focus.
  • The title uses the Arabic term habibti, meaning “my love” or “my darling,” echoing Drake’s prior Arabic lines on his 2020 Only You Freestyle.
  • Social feeds filled with reactions and lyric screenshots within minutes of release, with reports noting a line that names DJ Khaled and references the Palestine issue.
