Drake's new song has a Bitcoin connection
Drake has included a Bitcoin (BTC) reference in his recently released song, 'What Did I Miss?' The popular hip-hop artist's new song directly incorporates Bitcoin, the widely recognised cryptocurrency, into a cultural conversation, 16 years after its creation. "What Did I Miss" premiered during a YouTube stream titled "ICEMAN EPISODE ONE," which features Drake playing a worker on his lunch break. The song explores themes of betrayal, following Drake's 2024 dispute with Kendrick Lamar. Drake likens the shifting loyalties he addresses in the track to the unpredictable nature of Bitcoin, giving the digital asset a prominent reference. The reference to Bitcoin and its volatility appears in the first verse of the song. Drake has previously engaged with Bitcoin, having bet $1 million in the cryptocurrency on the outcome of the 2022 Super Bowl. What Drake said about Bitcoin in his new song In the first verse, Drake directly compares Bitcoin's well-known price volatility to the unpredictable nature of his former friends — supportive one moment, distant the next — mirroring the dramatic ups and downs of Bitcoin's value. In the song, he says: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI is helping small businesses increase productivity. Insider Learn More Undo 'You switched on the guys and supported a hater, let's go. What's the getback for ni**as? It's TBD. I look at this s**t like a BTC. Could be down this week, then I'm up next week.' Drake's connection with Bitcoin has mostly revolved around high-stakes gambling rather than investment. In 2024, he reportedly lost over $1 million in BTC through unsuccessful bets on the NBA and NHL Finals. He placed those bets using the crypto gambling platform Stake, with which he has an endorsement deal. His song 'What Did I Miss?' reflects on loyalty and shifting alliances following a major rap feud. Drake expresses disappointment over collaborators and friends who sided with rivals, using the track as a moment of reflection on fractured relationships and the emotional fallout from the events of that year.

Drake's New Track 'What Did I Miss?' Addresses Beef & Betrayal, Social Media Reacts
Source: Carmen Mandato / Getty Drake's been hinting at his new album —allegedly titled Iceman — for weeks, but last night, July 4, he ushered in his latest era with a new single. It all began when he cryptically posted to his social media, alerting fans that he'd be dropping something at 9pm. Eventually, a livestream YouTube entitled 'ICEMAN EPISODE ONE' launched, showing a back room of a random warehouse for about an hour with random glimpses of Drake walking around like a blue-collar worker on his lunch break. Then, the beat finally drops and he premieres his new song, 'What Did I Miss?' The scene quickly changes to Drake surrounded by dozens of long guns meticulously laid out near a backyard pool while dancing. Although he may have claimed that he was done rapping about his tiring beef with Kendrick Lamar, he immediately falls back into addressing his newfound enemies. 'Askin' me, 'How did it feel?' Can't say it didn't surprise me,' he harmonizes in the chorus. 'Last time I looked to my right, you n-ggas was standing beside me, How can some people I love hang around p-ssies who try me? ' The revenge talk continues in the first verse where he debates his get back with bars like ' You n-ggas just better not ask for no favors, It's love for my brothers and death to a traitor ' and ' You switched on the guys and supported a hater .' It's unclear who the bars are directed at and could reference several sideshows in the beef like Rick Ross, Future, The Weeknd, and A$AP Rocky, all of whom he's worked with on chart-topping hits. Drake's gets more pointed in the second verse when he raps, 'I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d-ck riding gang since 'Headlines.'' Not only is this a reference to Kendrick Lamar's 2024 Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert that served as a victory lap for winning the beef, but it could also reference LeBron James, who was seen at the arena singing along to 'Not Like Us.' The paranoia continues in the third verse when he repeatedly asks himself how he missed the backstabbing signs of people who he gave verses to, gave guest spots at his tours, and put money in their pockets. ' Word for word at all of the shows, You always felt like this, man, what did I miss? ' he says as the track ends. In the second part of the livestream, he's seen driving around in a delivery truck with another released song on the aux, tentatively called 'Super Max,' as hometown fans chase him down in real time. While whipping the truck, someone in the street yells, 'Drake's a b-tch,' which he quickly claps back at. 'What Did I Miss?' is currently available on streaming services.
