Drake has revealed that a brand new solo album is in the works—dropping the news while live-streaming a high-stakes gambling session with Adin Ross on Kick.

During the “Stake vs Drake & Adin” stream, the 6 God casually dropped the announcement as he placed a massive $545,000 bet on UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 314. The bet paid off handsomely, netting Drake a cool $915,600. But the real win for fans was his confirmation that another album is coming—and that it “slaps.”

When asked by Ross if it would be a solo project, Drake confirmed it wouldn’t be a collab this time around. The comment section exploded with fire emojis and hype as fans got their first teaser of what’s next from the Canadian superstar.

The forthcoming album will mark Drake’s ninth solo studio release, following 2023’s For All The Dogs and his recently dropped joint project with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, featuring hits like “NOKIA,” “GIMME A HUG,” and “Somebody Loves Me.”

Although his Anita Wynn Max Tour in Australia has been postponed to late 2025 due to scheduling conflicts, Drake is showing no signs of slowing down musically—or digitally. The livestream not only spotlighted his love for gambling but also further cemented his place in the growing world of streaming culture.

The Kick-exclusive stream served as more than entertainment. It was a prime example of how modern stars are leveraging livestreaming platforms to bypass traditional media and connect directly with fans. With DJ Akademiks also hopping on the stream to place bets and banter, the session blurred the lines between music, gaming, and digital interaction.

As streaming becomes a dominant form of entertainment, artists like Drake are redefining what it means to promote and engage. “Stake vs Drake & Adin” wasn’t just a gambling session—it was a cultural moment, giving fans breaking news, big money thrills, and a look into the next chapter of one of rap’s biggest names.
