Charlamagne Tha God recently shared his savage reaction to Drake‘s slew of new albums and some of the celebrities he took aim at. On an episode of “The Breakfast Club,” the 47-year-old said Mr. Iceman’s rhymes about the father of two could spark one of two things.
Fans knew Drake was dropping his latest album, “Iceman,” on May 15, 2026. They didn’t know that the 39-year-old would release two additional projects, “Maid of Honour” and “Habiti.”
On “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne tried to get ahead of the people who would argue Drake’s latest releases were all solid works.
“Salute to everyone out there who’s gonna lie and say they listened to all three Drake albums, even though all three Drake albums came out after midnight,” he said. “Ain’t no way in h-ll you listened to all three Drake albums, so don’t even call up here telling that lie this morning, giving your reviews.”
Charlamagne said on the show that he didn’t want to hear any reviews “on any Drake music until at least next Wednesday or Thursday.”
Charlamagne Says Drake’s Bars About DJ Khaled Could Trigger One Of Two Things
Elsewhere in the episode, Charlamagne and his co-hosts listened to a snippet of Drake’s track, “Make Them Pay.”
In the song, the Candian takes aim at DJ Khaled, saying, “Khaled, you know what I mean, the beef was fully life, you went Halala, and your people are still waiting for a ‘Free Palestine’ but apparently everything isn’t black and white and red and green. I’m seeing everyone’s true colors.”
Charlamagne appeared to make light of the lyrics, saying, “D-mn. You gon’ make Khaled lose 21 pounds, man.” He added, “Khaled, I tried to warn you three days ago that you was getting a big shot.”
And that’s not all Charlamagne had to say. According to him, Drake’s rap will either make Khaled “lose more weight or gain more weight from stress eating—one of the two.”
Drake Took Direct Shots At Several Celebrities On His Album
DJ Khaled isn’t the only A-lister who was subject to Drake’s venom. According to Page Six, the “Views” rapper took shots at Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Jay-Z, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, Rick Ross, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, and NBA All-Star LeBron James.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Drake’s issues with James date back to 2024, when the Los Angeles Lakers player was seen dancing to Lamar’s viral diss track, “Not Like Us.”
On his latest song, “1 Am In Albany,” Drake said, “I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up.”
He went even further, making it clear that he was speaking about James, saying, “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n****, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.”
James seemingly confirmed his issues with Drake during a previous interview, saying the pair had drifted over the years.
“Always wish him the best. Obviously, um, different places right now, currently. He’s doing his thing, I’m doing mine. But it’s always love, for sure,” he said.
Drake Sets Spotify Record After Dropping Three Albums On May 15
Following the release of “Iceman,” Drake’s first album since “For All The Dogs” in 2023, Spotify announced that Drake had set a record, becoming the streaming giant’s “most-streamed artist of 2026 in a single day.” The project’s opening track, “Make Them Cry,” became the most-streamed song in a single day in 2026.
Users React To The Latest Project
Despite setting a new record, it appears some listeners weren’t pleased with Drake’s project, as one user on X wrote, “His actual rapping ability regressed into remedial nonsense when he leaned into writing lines for IG captions instead of storytelling.”
Another user said, “How about you just give us one good one?”
Someone else seemed bothered by Drake’s release, saying, “Artists used to make 50-80 songs per album, then carefully handpick and refine the best ones for the final cut. Now, they’re just putting everything out at low quality just to boost streaming numbers.”
