Drake Slams Former Friends in Fallout From Kendrick Lamar Beef on New Single ‘What Did I Miss?'
On the song, the Toronto rapper surveys the aftermath of his infamous spat with Lamar, focusing on how those he felt were close to him tried to play both sides. '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?'

He addresses Lamar's homecoming show 'The Pop Out' that took place in Los Angeles in June 2024: 'I'm back in your city tonight, walkin' around with my head high / I saw bro at the Pop Out with them but been dick riding gang since 'Headlines.''
Drake preempted the single release with an 'Iceman: Episode 1' livestream where he drove around Toronto in a truck emblazoned with a false telephone number and the website the-iceman.com. As he circled Toronto, fans caught on that he was at the wheel, with several people approaching him as he responded 'love' and 'blessings.'
The stream, which started about 20 minutes later than promised earlier on social media, began with long shots of an Iceman warehouse until Drake eventually appeared. As he clocked in on the job, he sat and ate food while watching archival footage of himself as a young rapper. He suddenly segued into a live performance of 'What Did I Miss?,' complete with a close-up on a TV depicting him surrounded by firearms before segueing to him rapping the track in a freezer.
All of this appears to be pushing towards what fans believe will be an album entitled 'Iceman,' which Drake has teased on Instagram by captioning photos with the name.

Hasbro, Inc. (HAS) 'Has Been Up Ridiculously,' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) is an American toy company that owns iconic brands such as Nerf and Monopoly. The firm's shares have gained 37% year-to-date and have recovered all of their post-Liberation Day losses. Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS)'s stock jumped by 14.6% in April after the firm's first-quarter earnings results beat analyst revenue and EPS estimates. The stock has gained 5% in July after a bullish Goldman Sachs investor note increased the share price target to $85 and upgraded the rating from Neutral to Buy. The bank believes that Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS)'s card and video game initiatives can generate tailwinds for the firm. In his remarks, Cramer mentioned Goldman's coverage and added that Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) is part of an idea-driven market: 'So Goldman recommends Hasbro, which has been up ridiculously. And it goes up another two! We are in an idea-driven market. . .' A child playing with their toy in their home, showing their joy for Hasbro products. Previously, the CNBC host had Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS)'s CEO on his show and discussed the firm's business approach in today's environment: 'What do you make of what's happening at Hasbro, the iconic maker of toys and games? Last week, the company reported an impressive top and bottom line beat driven by strong momentum in their Magic the Gathering business. But management also noted that the tariffs are tough for their business, even if there are some things they can do to mitigate the damage. In response, the stock jumped more than 14% and it's just related a few more points. So, can it keep running? Maybe investors should get cautious. […] [Talking directly to the CEO, Chris Cox] I got a feeling that you'll be able to- you'll be more resourceful and you're a conservative guy. You got credit for being conservative. The companies that are being aggressive, they're the ones whose stocks are getting killed. I think you're doing this exactly right.' While we acknowledge the potential of HAS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Messi fans fill Stade Saputo as Inter Miami visits Montreal: 'Messi is worldwide'
MONTREAL — Pierre-Paul Foisy can't count the number of times he's visited Stade Saputo to cheer on CF Montreal. The Lionel Messi superfan, however, has no problem shedding Montreal's colours when his hero is in town. Advertisement Instead of sporting blue, black and white, Foisy wore a pink tracksuit and a goat mask — for 'Greatest Of All Time' — as Messi's Inter Miami took on CF Montreal on Saturday night. 'Messi is worldwide,' said Foisy, standing next to his son, Jeremy. 'The level of player he is and what he can do with the ball, it's incredible. 'I'm a CF Montreal fan deep down, for sure. But when you have someone of that magnitude, you can't be disappointed about people switching sides.' Widely regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of all time, Messi is an eight-time Ballon d'Or recipient as global player of the year and a World Cup winner with Argentina in 2022. Advertisement Hundreds of fans swarmed a downtown Montreal hotel to catch a glimpse of the global icon after he landed in Montreal on Friday night. Many more, including Foisy, held signs and lined the streets in Miami pink and Argentina blue outside Stade Saputo hours before kickoff to watch Messi walk off the team bus. A heightened police presence, extra security and numerous additional fences surrounded the stadium grounds to handle the circus. Messi waved to a large group of fans yelling his name through a fence from a distance before entering the building. 'Oh my God, I can't believe it,' said fan Kamar Assaf, wearing an Inter Miami jersey. 'It's my dream since I was a little kid.' Advertisement Assaf drove from Toronto with her partner, a Cristiano Ronaldo superfan, to see her idol live for the first time. They waited until Miami dropped out of the Club World Cup in the round of 16 last Sunday with a 4-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Had Miami won, the MLS match would have been postponed. There was also concern Messi wouldn't travel because of a heavy schedule of games, but Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano dismissed the idea of leaving his superstar in Florida. This marks Messi's fourth match on Canadian soil, and second in Montreal. The 38-year-old played his first professional game in Canada on May 11, 2024, when he was held off the scoresheet in a 3-2 Miami win over Montreal. Advertisement Foisy, who bought season tickets last season, went viral on social media that night for wearing his goat mask. On the heels of Messi's move from Europe to Miami in 2023, CF Montreal sold out its 15,000 season tickets last year for the first time since the club joined MLS in 2012. The club did not reveal how many it sold this season. Many spectators on Saturday only attended for one thing. "I came only to see the CF Montreal games for Messi,' said 15-year-old fan Julien Massri, with the Argentine flag painted on each cheek. 'He's the one that made me like playing soccer, so he's a really special person for me. Advertisement 'Everything about him — his dribbles, his shots, his flair, his skills … his intelligence on the pitch and his leadership is something special for me.' Some dyed-in-the-wool CF Montreal fans, however, weren't so pleased about the Messi fans invading Stade Saputo in large numbers. Tony Martino, a leading member of the '1642 MTL' supporters' group, said he understood why people cheered for Messi, who's 'probably the greatest soccer player of all time,' but added he wouldn't follow suit. 'It's not a surprise,' he said at the supporters' group's tailgate, held on the opposite side of the stadium from where people gathered to greet Messi. 'That being said, we're in Montreal, we are not here for Messi. Advertisement 'It is a little annoying in a way, kind of, to see people overtaking the stadium, but I'm here for one team.' Martino said he planned to chant a little louder than usual in the supporters' section, knowing CF Montreal fans could be outnumbered. 'We'll make sure that the flags will be flying,' he said. 'If Messi is in our area and somebody behind me tells me, 'Hey move your flag, I want to see Messi,' you won't see Messi.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 5, 2025.
