Drake and Sexyy Red are sparking collaboration rumors after posing for a tennis-themed photo shoot, which the 6 God fueled with a post to Instagram on Monday (Nov. 17).

“I said tennis lesson she said where’s the bracelet or the necklace,” Drizzy captioned the slideshow of tennis photos. Sexyy hopped into the comment section referring to Drake as “my baby zeddy.”


Now Drake is no stranger to rocking tennis chains and diamond-encrusted bracelets, but it’s unclear if he was working on his backhand or whether this is a sign of new music to come with Big Sexyy.

Billboard has reached out to Drake and Sexyy Red’s reps for comment.

Fans also voiced their frustration with Iceman remaining without a release date. “Doin everything but dropping iceman,” one person wrote.

Drake and Sexyy Red have teamed up to exchange verses in the past on tracks such as “U My Everything,” which reached No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the top 15 hit “Rich Baby Daddy” with SZA.

The OVO boss has released three livestreams for Iceman, but there’s been no indication that the album is set to arrive before 2025 ends. He’s released singles such as “What Did I Miss?” and “Which One” with Central Cee, but neither stuck around the charts like a Drake smash hit typically would.

Speaking to Complex, Drizzy went in-depth about how the album rollouts felt stale, which pushed him to reinvent himself with the Iceman livestreams.

“I expressed that I love the opportunity for a clean slate of thoughts and excitement and messaging when it comes to the music,” he said. “What I hate is the redundancy of this formulaic approach that’s engrained in our brains from early label days. Single, video, single, video, album cover post, etc.”
