Drake announced during a livestream with Adin Ross that he’s working on a new album, and the OVO leader is extremely excited about it.
On Sunday (April 13), Drizzy hopped on a Kick livestream with Adin Ross as part of a partnership giveaway with digital gambling platform Stake. During the lengthy hang, Drake took a moment to thank his supporters for streaming his $exy $ongs 4 U project with PARTYNEXTDOOR, which dropped back in February.
“Thank you to everybody that’s streaming the album,” Drake said while donning some $4U merch. “Every time, every journey. Working on a new album, it’s a slap.”

Adin Ross expressed shock at the quick turnaround for The Boy, whose last solo album For All The Dogs dropped back in 2023. Elsewhere in the livestream, Drake also said Nothing Was The Same and Honestly, Nevermind were the two bodies of work he was most proud of.
As for $4U, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 back in February, and the ear worm “Nokia” has been steadily climbing the Hot 100 ever since. It currently sits at No. 3, posing a threat to Kendrick Lamar’s “Luther” dominance, which has held the top spot for seven consecutive weeks.
The Canadian crooner will also be headlining London’s Wireless Festival in July, which he also shouted out during the livestream.
“Shout out to everybody that’s been showing us love, though, for real. On every song. Shout out to everybody that’s coming to Wireless [Festival]. We love you so much,” Drake said.
