- Rapper Drake announced the release date for his new album, Iceman, by installing a 25-foot ice block sculpture in a Toronto car park, inviting fans to discover the date inside as it melted naturally.
- Impatient fans reportedly used pickaxes and blowtorches to chip away at the sculpture, leading Toronto police to intervene and block public access due to safety concerns.
- A Twitch streamer, Kishka, successfully used a sledgehammer to break into the ice, revealing a vacuum-sealed bag containing the album's release date of 15 May, along with a book and Canadian banknotes.
- Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop issued a statement expressing serious public safety concerns after individuals attempted to melt the ice using flammable liquids and open flames, prompting fire services to take action.
- Toronto Fire Services subsequently used warm water to melt the sculpture, and Drake officially confirmed that 'Iceman', his first solo album since 2023, will be released on 15 May.
