Drake’s back at it, folks, and it looks like he’s weaving magic once again in the expansive tapestry of hip-hop! Just when you thought he might take a breather after a coy 2024, the man responsible for some of our favorite playlist staples is crashing into 2025 like a wave in the Bahamas! I mean, can we talk about the audacity of teasing not one, but three song snippets on January 2, and then unleashing the fiery “Fighting Irish” freestyle the very next day—only for it to vanish from YouTube faster than your last New Year’s resolution? And what’s with the tropical shirt, Drake? Are you flaunting the laid-back vibes of “Bahamas Promises” while dishing out lyrical barbs to your enemies? It seems our friend Aubrey is not only gearing up for a major rollout but also putting a bright spotlight on his evolving relationships—or lack thereof—this new year. Buckle up, because it looks like the 6 God is ready to spill some tea, and I can’t wait to see where this rollercoaster takes us!
Drake has the internet in a chokehold again. The rapper played coy with new music in 2024, but he’s managed to make quite a fuss in the first couple days of 2025. He leaked three snippets of new songs on Thursday, January 2. He continues to tease his joint PARTYNEXTDOOR album. And on Friday, January 3, Drake released the “Fighting Irish” freestyle on YouTube. The song quickly got taken down, but the bars had fans scrambling to determine who they were targeted at. All the while, the 6 God retreated to one of his favorite vacation spots: the Bahamas.
Drake posted a photo of himself on Instagram the same day he released “Fighting Irish.” There was no caption or hashtag referencing the freestyle, but the intentionality was there. Drake posted up in a very tropical shirt, evoking the lifestyle he sung about on 2024’s “Bahamas Promises.” The rapper is clearly getting ready for something big in terms of a rollout. “Fighting Irish” freestyle took aim at a lot of people, and the Instagram post that followed the song’s release is giving the impression that Drake is unbothered by the drama.
The decision to post a tropical-themed photo may also be a nod to one of Drake’s new lyrics. “I guess now you boys gotta abandon your summer tradition,” he spits. “Cold shoulders I gave in the Hamptons, it come with the distance.” Some fans have even theorized that these bars are aimed at Michael Rubin and his annual White Out parties. Drake is drawing a line between his friends and his many, many enemies. It is the start of a new era for the 6 God, and his activities over the last couple days all but confirm it.
Drake’s “Fighting Irish” freestyle also makes good on a rumor that fans heard as far back as July. Peter Rosenberg and Ebro claimed that Drizzy has multiple albums in the works, including one with Conductor Williams. The very same producer who made the “Fighting Irish” beat. “I also heard that he has a whole project’s worth of music done with Conductor Williams,” Rosenberg said on Ebro In the Morning. “Which is the opposite [of recent Drake songs], very hip-hoppy.” Maybe the new song will finally open the flood gates for fans to hear this alleged album.
