'I don't give a f– if you love me/ I don't give a f— if you like me/ Askin' me 'How did it feel?'/ Can't say it didn't surprise me/ Last time I looked to my right/ You n—-s was standing beside me/ How can some people I love/ Hang around pussies who try me?/ Let's go,' says Drake, wrapping an introspective chorus with one question on repeat: 'What did I miss?'
Later, he references sightings at Kendrick's 2024 Pop Out show, lamenting, 'It feels like nobody's there until you start givin' out two-tones/ And nobody cares until they in front of your tombstone/ Y'all been on that type of timing for too long/ Iceman, Tiffany blue stones/ I done made plenty s— right out of two wrongs/ S—, let's go.'
On a third verse, he raps, 'What did I miss?/ When I was looking at y'all and cooking with y'all/ And giving out verses and bookings to y'all/ Making sure wires were hit/ Man, what did I miss?/ When you was all in my crib lookin' at hoes/ Word for word at all of the shows/ You always felt like this, man?/ What did I miss?'
'What Did I Miss?' was penned by Drake, produced by London Cyr, O Lil Angel, DJ LEWIS, FNZ, Elyas, GYZ, Tay Keith, OZ and Patron, and released via OVO/Republic on streaming services.
Ahead of the song's premiere, fans caught an unannounced livestream on Friday that had Drake clocking in at an Iceman warehouse, where he went from sipping coffee on break to launching into a solo performance of the new track: first surrounded by rifles on the break room TV screen, and then among ice blocks in the warehouse freezer. The footage also had him driving an Iceman truck around the city and making small talk with fans approaching his vehicle: 'Iceman, man, you already know,' Drake said at one point. 'C'mon, bro, you already know.'
Drake didn't upload the event to his channels after streaming, but fans captured and shared the clip across social media, speculating 'Iceman' is his new album era.

‘Do Better.' ABC Is Under Fire After New Golden Bachelor Says He's ‘Cutting' Any Woman 60 Or Older
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Bachelor Nation is gearing up for the return of Bachelor in Paradise to the 2025 TV schedule, but it seems trouble may be brewing for another of the reality dating shows. The Golden Bachelor Season 2 lead Mel Owens went on a podcast earlier this month, where the 66-year-old said he told producers he wouldn't date any women over 60, and fans are calling on the network to 'do better' with its casting. Mel Owens, a former NFL player — who was cast to follow Gerry Turner as the second Golden Bachelor — went on the In the Trenches podcast on June 4, where he was asked how much control he had over the women cast for his season. He said he won't know anything about them until they exit the limos at Bachelor Mansion, but he said during the casting process producers asked him about the kind of women he wanted to date. Owens recalled: They asked me, like, 'What's your preferences?' So I just said 45 to 60, just being honest, right? And then the process went and I was selected. And then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, 'If they're 60 or over, I'm cutting them.' [He said] 'Oh no, you can't. This is not The Silver Bachelor, this is The Golden Bachelor.' He goes, 'But they're gonna be hot, don't worry about it.' Say what you want about Gerry Turner, but The Golden Bachelor's first season warmed viewers' hearts with its messages about hope and never being too old to find love, so as a longtime Bachelor Nation fan, I'm kind of surprised to hear that the Season 2 star apparently has a pretty specific age limit when it comes to who he'll date. It's unclear which producers he told this to, but it's disappointing to hear that they apparently knew Mel Owens has no interest in dating women his age and decided to cast him anyway. For context, none of The Golden Bachelor's cast members were under 60 in its premiere season, and The Golden Bachelorette had just one 59-year-old (Mark Anderson). Owens continued: I know they're gonna be beautiful, I know they are. But I had no say in them. I had no résumé. But they asked me what is my profile. Well they gotta be fit, because I stay in shape, work out and stuff. And I told him, 'Try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs,' you know, that kind of stuff. This definitely isn't a great look for ABC, and Bachelor Nation viewers are not taking these comments lightly. The Golden Bachelor's second season hasn't even begun filming yet, but already fans are speaking out about the decision to cast Mel Owens after hearing his comments on the podcast. On the official Instagram announcement made by ABC months ago, social media users are returning to comment on the latest developments, writing: Too bad he's a walking red flag before the season even started. Do better ABC! – Did you really keep telling us you are going to 'do better' with casting and then cast a Golden Bachelor who has said he would 'cut any woman 60+ on night one'? – sherrieatsplants This man is a walking red flag, and definitely doesn't signal to me personally that this franchise is interested in doing better… – Too bad he's not looking for a woman over 60 ☹️. I think for all the golden women who watch this show that's a real slap in the face. I for one won't be watching 😡 – kathy4more The Bachelor franchise has already been under fire the past few years, particularly over its casting of men (Golden and otherwise) who have had restraining orders against them or been involved in race-related scandals and other controversial behavior. In March, executive producers Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner exited the franchise amid accusations of a toxic workplace environment, and the 2025 cycle of The Bachelorette was canceled. Mel Owens' comments are a really tough pill to swallow. I don't want to see 40- and 50-somethings on The Golden Bachelor, but I also don't want the quarterback-turned-lawyer to pretend to date women he's not interested in. It's quite a pickle, but while we wait to see if ABC or Mel Owens addresses the comments, Bachelor in Paradise is set to premiere at 8 p.m. ET Monday, July 7, on ABC and streaming the next day with a Hulu subscription.

Christian, ‘tradpop' music making ‘a comeback' as conservative ideals become more popular: report
Faith-based and 'traditional' pop hits are surging on the music charts this year, as noted in a recent report. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' 'a folksy melodramatic ballad about faith and love,' according to Semafor, was the No. 1 song in the country this week and has been on Billboard's Hot 100 for the past 20 weeks. The song's popularity isn't an oddity. Several Christian and country artists have also ranked high on the music charts this year, the report said, indicating a 'political vibe shift' in American pop music since President Donald Trump took office. It stands in stark contrast to the 2024 'brat summer' trend, embraced by former Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, where boundary-pushing female pop stars Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX dominated the music scene, Semafor reported. Christian artists Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank have also enjoyed more mainstream success. Lake's 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' is now in its 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100 and Frank's 'Your Way's Better' hit its 10th week on the chart. 'Christian music is making a serious comeback,' Billboard reported in May after the two Christian songs became the first faith-based hits in 11 years to make it on the Hot 100 chart. 4 Several Christian and country artists have ranked high on the music charts this year.

Getty Images for CMA Country star Morgan Wallen is also wildly popular, having several hits on the Hot 100. His recently released album, 'I'm the Problem,' broke streaming records in May. Thomas Rhett, Jelly Roll and Shaboozey also have country-pop hits topping the charts. On 'American Idol' this season, several contestants were open about their faith. The show also hosted a three-hour 'Songs of Faith' special on Easter Sunday where contestants and judges performed gospel and worship music. 4 Christian artists Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank (pictured) have also enjoyed more mainstream success. Getty Images Pop music seems to be reflecting a broader cultural shift toward traditional and conservative ideals, Semafor reported. As conservative voices and positions become more influential with Trump's return to office, companies and institutions have responded in kind by ditching Pride Month campaigns and DEI priorities, the report noted. It can also be seen in the online 'trad wife' trend, where young women embrace marriage and traditional values. 4 Lake's (right) 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' is now in its 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100. WireImage Several Gen Z women who spoke to Fox News Digital at a Turning Point USA conference this year said it was important to them to defend strong traditional values that were grounded in faith and femininity. 'Holding up values, traditional values that come from the Bible and be able to carry those throughout every aspect of life, to be able to create a foundation for yourself and your family that carries out the Lord's message,' Grace from Florida told Fox about what it means to be a conservative.

Hilarie Burton encourages friends to crush on husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Hilarie Burton "thoroughly enjoys" knowing other school moms have a crush on Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The 42-year-old actress - who has Gus, 15, and George, seven, with her husband - admitted she's heard a lot from friends all over the US who have been charmed by her spouse since the Walking Dead star began hosting Destination X, which hit screens in May. Hilarie told People magazine: "I have just thoroughly enjoyed all the moms at school having a crush on him. "I keep getting text messages from high school friends, and they're all like, 'My wife or my mom has a huge crush on your husband.' "[They] should. He's great." Hilarie is delighted Destination X has introduced people to a new side of Jeffrey, rather than just associating him with his Walking Dead alter ego Negan. She said: "Destination X was awesome because I knew how funny and charming he was in real life as opposed to the characters he plays. "I think it makes you appreciate Negan Smith more when you see the person behind it, because he is such a funny, sweet man. "When he has to go play this dastardly creature, it shows you what range he possesses." Jeffrey previously credited Hilarie for him taking on the presenting job on the NBC reality show. He told People magazine: 'I am not like a typical host. I'm not Ryan Seacrest — who I love, and I think he's excellent at his job — but that's not me. "I'm a bit on the crass side, and I've got a very sarcastic sense of humour, and I didn't picture it. "[Hilarie] said — in a very nice way, but much more diplomatic than I'm going to make it seem now — 'You're not getting any younger.' " Last month, Hilarie made a surprise return as Lucille in TWD: Dead City on 15 June, when Negan hallucinated his dead spouse after suffering a head injury, and emotionally apologised for failing to keep his cancer-stricken wife alive. And Hilarie has praised her husband's performance and genuine emotion in the scene, which was filmed just days after his father's death. She told People magazine: "Please forgive me if I get upset. I just watched it. I didn't see it on Sunday. This was a really hard episode to shoot. "What people didn't know is that, throughout this season, Jeff's dad was dying. He had died like six days before we shot this scene. "Watching this man that I love so much hold that grief and really have to focus at work and hold it together, I wouldn't cry except I just watched it. "It was really, really amazing to watch the person you love most in the world be able to do that. He was able to channel a lot of the grief he was feeling for his dad into this episode while not letting anyone down."
