Days after announcing his new album Iceman, Drake was seen getting chased by Pinocchio through the streets of Manchester in a live theater stream on July 24, 2025. The same live stream premiered Drizzy’s new track, Which One?, in collaboration with Central Cee.
The introduction of Pinocchio’s character in the stream caught everyone’s attention, especially as it started by stalking the One Dance rapper before chasing him through Manchester.
Clips of the livestream have since gone viral and led to the eruption of memes targeting Kendrick Lamar, with netizens speculating that the Pinocchio chase segment was a dig at Drake’s rival. Many memes humorously suggested that Kendrick Lamar was the one inside the Pinocchio costume, closely following Drake.
One netizen made a meme portraying Kendrick Lamar watching all of Drake’s moves, while another Twitter user humorously commented on the situation, linking it to a scene from Dragon Ball Z.
Drake’s Iceman album announcement and the alleged diss towards LeBron James in his upcoming single What Did I Miss? have also been making waves. The single debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 shortly after its release, with rumors swirling about a rift between Drake and his longtime friend LeBron James.
Reports suggest that the rift between the rapper and the NBA player began when LeBron attended Kendrick Lamar’s concert in 2024, leading to Drake unfollowing him on social media. The speculated shade towards LeBron in What Did I Miss? further fueled the rumors of a falling out between the two.
During a concert in Birmingham on July 21, 2025, Drake officially announced his upcoming album Iceman, hinting at a lot of content to come. This isn’t the first time Drake has teased his solo projects, as he had previously mentioned his plans for a new album during his Anita Max Win tour.
