Responding to the note, the mayor praised the rapper for boosting up the city’s image and said she was “happy to host his team at City Hall.”

On top of Iceman, the artist also surprised fans by dropping other two albums: Maid of Honour and Habibti.
The big reveal comes after Drake took over Toronto’s downtown area with a giant ice block to hype up fans for the album.

On top of all the activations for the albums across the city, one of the rapper’s music videos ‘Make Them Remember’ shows him inside of city hall, including the council chamber and the mayor’s office.
Speaking at Breakfast Television on Friday, Chow confirmed that Drake had “borrowed” her office for one evening ahead of the big reveal.
“It’s great because Drake has done so much for the city. The world was watching, and he’s making us proud,” Chow said.
“He borrowed [my office] one evening, and we had an arrangement, and put it back in, and so all is good. But think about how many people outside Toronto are watching that, so it’s a promotion for the city, and his music, it’s not just Canadians, it’s worldwide.”
