Drake hints Cole Palmer is inspiration behind his new album name as he shares brilliant video of Chelsea star
FANS are convinced Cole Palmer is the inspiration behind the name of Drake's latest album. The Chelsea star adorned himself with the nickname "cold" following a stunning start to life at the club which shot him to stardom, including scoring in the 2024 Euros final and winning the Club World Cup. 2 2 However, Palmer's exploits have gone beyond the pitch, with the Wythenshawe ace racking up a load of celebrity mates at numerous events he has attended. One previous event saw Palmer, 23, make acquaintances with Canadian rapper Drake, as the duo starred in a video posted by British artist Central Cee. But Drake now appears to have revealed he took more away from Palmer than simply friendship. Instead, he appears to have hinted that the name of his latest album, "Iceman" was actually inspired by the attacking midfielder. In an Instagram post by Drake with a series of photos and videos, the 38-year-old shared a video of Palmer answering a question. The former Manchester City star then replied: "Iceman." Kendrick Lamar - being called Iceman while he also shares a clip of Palmer saying the name is surely more than simply a coincidence. Though some believe it is simply part of the marketing material. Fans took to social media to discuss. Cole Palmer and Chelsea celebrate in style as they arrive back at their hotel after Club World Cup victory One said: "There's no way Drake's album title is based on a Cole Palmer interview clip." A second said: "Was Iceman named Cole Palmer? I have just seen the video of Drake, Central Cee, and Cole Palmer. "Wow, man. My favourite ever artist and my 2nd favourite footballer collaborating. I hope Cole is part of the rollout for the new album. That is superstar territory no other current player has reached." A third added: "Drake using Cole Palmer in his Iceman rollout would be generational marketing." Another said: "Drake using Cole Palmer for the Iceman rollout would be genius." A fifth said: "Drake needs to drop a Cole Palmer bar in ICEMAN." While Drake builds hype for his new album, expected to release by the end of the year, Palmer has been chilling following his Player of the Tournament exploits at the Club World Cup in the USA. Last week, he was seen partying at Wayne Lineker's famous O Beach club in Ibiza days after he split with partner Connie Grace. Connie, who had been dating Palmer for a year with the pair having met when they were 17, rubbished rumours they had split because he had turned down a marriage proposal. She said: 'Don't believe everything you read online. The lies that people post to get views/likes is so sad! 'It's actually wild the amount of abuse I have received from grown men in the last 24hrs! No I have never proposed a marriage lol.' Following Connie and Palmer's split, a source told SunSport: 'Connie and Cole have known each other since they were teenagers — but handling a relationship in the public eye is never easy. 'Cutting ties on Instagram is a big deal for the young generation and speaks volumes. 'Cole has a lot on at the moment and has been spending time in the Caribbean to learn more about his family roots.'

Tyson Fury slaps Usyk's face on SEX DOLL and sends rival X-rated message after performing retirement U-turn
TYSON FURY has been getting to grips with an Oleksandr Usyk faced SEX DOLL just hours after hinting a trilogy fight with his rival is in the pipeline. The Gypsy King seemingly performed a U-turn on his fifth retirement from boxing on Thursday by revealing an apparent date for a third showdown with his two-time conqueror. 4 4 4 Fury, 36, is adamant he was robbed of victory in the back-to-back Riyadh rumbles with the slick southpaw, which earned him a pretty penny. And he's seemingly trying to get an early handle on the elusive Olympian ahead of what would be a shock third showdown by plastering his face on a blow-up sex doll. The former two-time unified heavyweight champion posted a video of himself holding the clothes-less doll with a picture of Usyk's face on it to his Instagram account. After manager Spencer Brown claimed he'd been to the "sex shop", Fury replied: "I've got myself a little Usyk. "I'm getting ready for when we fight in April 26. In the meantime, he's gonna get f****d." His accompanying caption for the video read: "Just getting ready for @usykaa fight. "But in the meanwhile, i'll be at it 🤣😜🤣🤣🤣😎#livinglife." 4 Fury announced his fifth retirement from the sport in January, just a matter of weeks after his second straight defeat to Usyk. In the months which followed, the Wythenshawe warrior repeatedly shut down the prospect of setting foot inside the ring again and insisted he was content with his achievements. Tyson Fury and Jake Paul's text messages leaked with money brother Tommy has been offered for rematch revealed But earlier this week, he roared: I want my revenge (on Usyk) in England. "That's all I want, a fair shout. And I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times. "That's the one I want but if I don't get that then it will be Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen. "It would break all records and sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour. "It's a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and the deal's right." Discussing a third option of taking on Dubiois, Fury added: "If I was to return and fight Dubois, he wouldn't land a glove on me, it would be a one-sided beatdown. "But I wish him luck in his fight against Usyk, but I would annihilate him." Usyk will be back in action on July 19, taking on IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois at Wembley for all the heavyweight marbles.

Tyson Fury officially most financially successful UK sportsman in history as his massive earnings are revealed
TYSON FURY has long been considered one of the wealthiest sportsmen in the UK. And the emergence of some of the Wythenshawe warrior's stunning finances has shown him to be the wealthiest UK sportsman in history. 3 The unaudited abridged accounts for the former two-time heavyweight champion's ' Tyson Fury Ltd' company up until last September were recently published on Companies House. And it shows that the Gypsy King's self-named company is worth a whopping £186million. A staggering £176,691,66 of that figure is made up of investments, with £7,512,199 consisting of cash at the bank and in hand. The remainder is made up of stocks and debtors. The value of Fury's company is likely considerably higher given the fact that the accounts were filed before his multi-million-pound rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last December. SunSport understands Fury pocketed upwards of £80m for his first defeat to the pound-for-pound king last May. His purse for the Riyadh rematch is understood to have been less than that figure, but still large enough to exponentially increase the value of his company. Another cash injection could soon be on the way as Fury has seemingly performed a U-turn on his fifth retirement from boxing. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 3 On Thursday, he posted a photo of himself in action against Usyk to his Instagram story with the caption: "April 18 2026, Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!" His post came hours after he told the media in Turkey:" I want my revenge (on Usyk) in England. That's all I want, a fair shout. "And I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times. "That's the one I want but if I don't get that then it will be [Anthony] Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen. "It would break all records and sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour. "It's a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and the deal's right."
