Drake's most-anticipated album Iceman is creating buzz among netizens even before its release. A giant installation had recently been commissioned by the rapper in Toronto to promote his upcoming album. However, a report of the fire crew thawing the blocks of ice has surfaced.
Why is the fire crew thawing the ice blocks for the installation of Drake?
As per reports, fire crews have begun breaking the blocks of ice, citing dangerous and unsafe activities. This comes after several fans started using blowtorches, sledgehammers and other tools to reveal the album's release date. Reportedly, Mayor Olivia Chow said that she supported the fire department's decision to melt down the ice.
Reportedly, the structure is composed of 1 million pounds of ice, took 30 hours to build and allegedly cost $1.2 million. Drake later confirmed that the release date was inside; it was basically a green light for Toronto to go find a way to melt it down.
Later, a streamer named Kishka retrieved a bag, reportedly, from the block of ice at the top of the structure, with the words 'Freeze The World' written across it. Livestreaming, he was then told to bring the bag to Drake's residence to unveil the date. Kishka headed to Drake's house, still streaming, where Matte Babel, a member of the rapper's management crew, welcomed him inside the gates. The streamer proceeded to open the bag on a table set up in Drake's driveway. The release date was revealed to be May 15.
