Rick Ross Dismisses Fear of Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Release in Hot 97 Interview

The comments signal public posturing ahead of Drake’s May 15 Iceman release.

Overview

  • Ross, in a Hot 97 interview Tuesday, said “Don’t nobody fear Drake’s album release,” as he discussed their rift and his stance going into Iceman.
  • He described the feud as correcting Drake for “stepping out of line” and said Drake had “lost focus,” though he added he believes Drake is focused now.
  • Asked about making peace, Ross said any reconciliation would likely be brokered by French Montana rather than through direct talks.
  • Days earlier on Apple Music, Ross urged Drake to “shine” and said he did not want to see him lose, highlighting mixed signals toward a truce.
  • During the recent VERZUZ with French Montana, Ross played their collaborations without Drake’s vocals, keeping the split in the spotlight as Friday’s May 15 release nears.
