Here’s Why Drake Fans Think New Music Could Be on the Way
After releasing his May trifecta, will the 6 God return before 2026 expires?
In recent months, Drake has dropped three albums, sparking speculation about his next project. On August 21, the rapper shared a "FEAR OF MISSING OUT" CD case on Instagram, leading OVO fans to speculate that this may be the title of his next album. The CD case has a black background and white lettering, with Drizzy posting it with a video camera emoji.
Several fans commented on the post, expressing excitement over the potential new music. Drake's "goth baddie" fan, Pinkchyu, even commented with a black heart. Rumors of new music gained traction after Drake posted a series of throwback photos of his parents on August 12, captioning it "FOMO 2026." Additionally, Drizzy shared a photo of himself in front of a fireplace with recording equipment, suggesting he might be working on new music.
The speculation about a new album could be a genuine concern for Drake, as he has been cautious about spending extensive time away from his music career. Since 2009, Drizzy has left his mark on every year in hip-hop, with his anticipated return in May through the release of his ICEMAN album alongside HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. He made history by becoming the first artist to simultaneously hold the top three slots on the Billboard 200 when ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID debuted on the chart.
ICEMAN notched Drake his 15th chart-topping album, breaking a tie with Jay-Z for the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200 by any rapper. Drake's 14th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Janice STFU," further solidified his position as the male soloist with the most No. 1s in history, passing Michael Jackson.
