Drake Premieres 'What Did I Miss?' Music Video in Cinematic Livestream to Launch New Album Campaign
Summary Drakeis gearing up to release a new album expected to release summer 2025, with many speculating it to be namedIceman, following the release of an hour-long YouTube livestream titled 'ICEMAN EPISODE 1' teasing what fans can expect. In the video, he plays a fictional employee at a Toronto ice storage facility called 'The Iceman,' using a cinematic, narrative-driven format to build intrigue. The concept hints at the album's possible theme, blending scripted storytelling with subtle nods to real-life tension and emotional undercurrents. Midway through the video, a TV in the break room shows archival footage of a young Drake, which cues into an exclusive premiere of his new music video 'What Did I Miss?' The track directly addresses the highly publicized feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. He calls out unnamed individuals for 'playing both sides,' rapping pointed bars like:'You switched on the guys and supported a hater' and'It's love for my brothers and death to a traitor.' Some fans believe these lyrics may also be aimed at NBA stars LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan — both longtime friends of Drake who have mutually supported each other's endeavors. Their appearance at Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert in L.A. has fueled speculation, especially as reports suggest Drake's relationship with DeRozan has become strained following the latter's public support of Kendrick during the ongoing rap feud. While his new track 'What Did I Miss?' grabs most of the spotlight, the video also teases several unreleased songs, including one titled 'Super Max Deals' — an R&B-leaning cut reminiscent of 'Do Not Disturb' in tone and delivery from his earlier albumMore Life. As expected, the upcoming album appears to blend both Hip-Hop and R&B, offering a range of sounds for fans across genres. With its blend of raw lyricism, immersive storytelling, and interactive fan moments, the rollout marks one of Drake's most creatively ambitious promotions to date. First teased in August 2024, Iceman is shaping up to be a long-awaited, multi-layered project. Stream his new single 'What Did I Miss?' on Spotify and Apple Music below, and check out the full livestream above.

No more spam calls from banks for loans, credit cards: TRAI, RBI join forces to provide relief to customers
ET Online TRAI The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Reserve Bank of India have joined hands to implement measures aimed at reducing unwanted spam calls and messages related to loans and credit cards. A lot of people have expressed their dissatisfaction about receiving spam calls from companies with which they previously made purchases. However, these companies often claim that they have the consumer's permission to send these communications. In an effort to curb the prevalence of spam calls, TRAI has launched a pilot project focused on digital consent management, collaborating with RBI and certain banks. On June 13, 2025, TRAI directed all telecom service providers (TSPs) to engage in this pilot project with banks. In a release dated June 16, the Ministry of Communications highlighted that the banking sector will be the initial focus due to the sensitivity of financial transactions and the associated risk of fraud stemming from spam calls. "Given the sensitivity of banking transactions and cases of financial fraud through spam calls, the banking sector has been prioritised for the first phase of implementation. This pilot, running under a regulatory sandbox framework, will validate the operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of the enhanced consent registration function (CRF) and lay the foundation for sector-wise scaling of the digital consent ecosystem," the ministry said. Consent from customers The new regulations require companies to get consent digitally and register it in a secure system managed by telecom service providers (TSPs). This system will allow easy verification of consent before any commercial communication is sent. "However, for successful operation of this consent registration framework, onboarding of entities sending commercial communications is a necessary requirement," TRAI stated. SBI will call you from these numbers: Check the numbers to avoid cyber frauds Measures taken by TRAI In recent years, TRAI has introduced measures like allowing consumers to complain about unregistered telemarketers, even if they haven't registered for Do Not Disturb (DND), to curb spam calls. The telecom regulator has also disconnected telecom resources misused for spam. However, verifying if a consumer truly gave consent for commercial communication, especially offline, remains January, RBI asked banks to use only the '1600xx' phone numbering series to call customers for transactional purposes with a view to preventing financial fraud. It further said that for promotional purposes, banks and other regulated entities (REs) should use only the '140xx' numbering series for the prevention of financial fraud perpetrated using voice calls and SMS. State Bank of India (SBI), the country's largest lender, in June issued a public advisory regarding the authenticity of calls originating from numbers beginning with +91-1600, aiming to strengthen consumer safety in the digital banking ecosystem. The bank has made clear that consumers can safely interact with these numbers without worrying about fraud; these numbers are used only for transactional and service-related calls. N.R.

TRAI ties up with RBI, banks to launch pilot project for digital consent management
Hyderabad/New Delhi, June 17 (UNI) The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Tuesday announced the launch of a pilot project for Digital Consent Management in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and banks . In a release, TRAI said it has observed that a large number of spam complaints are made by the customers against the business entities from whom the consumers have earlier purchased goods or services. On investigation, such business entities often claim that they possess the consent of the consumer for receiving commercial calls and messages. Under the regulatory framework defined by the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR), 2018, an entity can make commercial communications to a consumer irrespective of his/her Do Not Disturb (DND) preferences provided the entity has taken explicit consent from the consumer. However, in many cases, these consents were collected through offline or unverifiable means, making it extremely difficult to ascertain their validity and genuineness. In several instances, consumers report that their mobile numbers have been acquired by the entities for this purpose through misrepresentation, deception, or unauthorized data-sharing practices. TRAI has undertaken several innovative regulatory measures in recent years to curb such practices. To address the issue, the regulations provide for acquiring consent digitally by the entities and registering them in a secure and interoperable digital consent registry maintained by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) for easy verification of consents while commercial communication is made to the consumers. However, for successful operation of this consent registration framework, onboarding of entities sending commercial communications is a necessary requirement. To begin the national roll-out, TRAI has launched a pilot project in coordination with the RBI involving select banks and has issued a Direction recently to all the Telecom Service Providers, mandating them to pilot this framework in collaboration with banks. Given the sensitivity of banking transactions and cases of financial frauds through spam calls, the banking sector has been prioritized for the first phase of implementation. This pilot, running under a Regulatory Sandbox framework, will validate the operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of the enhanced Consent Registration Function (CRF) and lay the foundation for sector-wise scaling of the digital consent ecosystem.
