As rapper Drake rolls out the latest promotion for his upcoming “Iceman” album, it looks like he’s also taking a jab at Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in the process.

The Canadian artist posted a photo Monday of himself rocking a Green Bay Packers jacket in front of blocks of ice set up in downtown Toronto with the release date of his long-awaited album hidden inside. The campaign led to fans trying to speed up the melting process of the heavy blocks.

A streamer who goes by “Kishka” ended up finding the envelope, took it to Drake’s home in the area, and the May 15 release date was eventually revealed for all to see.

The Packers even reposted the photos of Drake with a simple “Hi” in their caption while tagging the famous rapper.

So where does Caleb Williams come into play here?

Well, when Williams helped lead the Bears to the playoffs, he billed himself as the “Iceman” after coming from behind for dramatic victories during a remarkable 2025 campaign.

Then Williams took it to another level and attempted to trademark the nickname in March, though he received scrutiny not from Drake, but Basketball Hall of Famer George Gervin. The four-time scoring champion and 12-time All-Star was nicknamed the “Iceman” throughout his career.

But now Drake is claiming himself as “Iceman”. And while it could just be a coincidence that Drake was wearing a Packers bomber jacket, he’s quite known for coming off his “enemies,” whether it’s outright or through subtle things like his attire.

Drake has been hinting at this new album for some time now, slowly releasing promos since last summer. Given his love for sports, he made sure to play it up to build anticipation for the album.

At Scotiabank Arena, home of the Toronto Raptors, Drake had fake icicles placed in the two courtside seats he usually sits in when attending NBA games. They were seen on April 12 – a 136-101 victory for the home team.

Meanwhile, Bears fans have learned to enjoy “Iceman” Williams, even if the games are roller coasters at times. The 24-year-old threw for 3,942 yards with 27 touchdowns and just seven interceptions while leading the team to the playoffs with an 11-6 record.

The Bears eventually fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round in an overtime thriller. It wasn’t Williams’ best game, throwing for two touchdowns but three interceptions in the loss.

But the sentiment around the Bears is that the No. 1 overall pick is the right guy to continue to lead the franchise, especially when it comes to defeating divisional opponents like the Packers.
