The highly anticipated album by Drake, titled “Iceman,” was released on May 15 at midnight. However, the excitement quickly turned to frustration for fans using Apple Music and Spotify. When the clock struck midnight, the album was unavailable for streaming, leaving listeners disappointed.
Streaming Woes for “Iceman”
Initially, the first track, “Make Them Cry,” failed to play on both streaming platforms. Thankfully, after approximately 20 minutes, the songs became available, allowing fans to finally enjoy the album.
Unexpected Releases
In a surprising twist, Drake did not just launch “Iceman.” He also dropped two additional projects, “Maid of Honour” and “Habibti.” These albums are shorter but add to the excitement for fans, with runtimes of 45 minutes and 36 minutes, respectively.
