Drake's latest album, ICEMAN, has stirred significant buzz, particularly due to its cover art, which features a hand adorned with a jewelled glove, a clear homage to the late Michael Jackson. Released on May 14, alongside two other albums, Maid of Honour and Habibti, the cover sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Supporters hailed it as a bold statement of Drake's status in the industry, while critics accused him of overstepping by attempting to align himself with Jackson's legacy. One user remarked, 'That’s a statement to the industry telling them he is HIM,' while others dismissed the comparison, calling Drake a 'fraud.' Notably, Drake has previously honored Jackson in his 2018 track 'Don't Matter to Me,' which featured Jackson's posthumous vocals. Furthermore, Drake has recently made history by becoming the first artist to have three albums—Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and Views—charting on the Billboard 200 for 10 years. Michael Jackson's influence on Drake is evident, as the rapper has often cited him as a pivotal inspiration in his career.
