Toronto resident Lenox P. believes the heated rivalry will continue.
“He’s gonna continue the beef from the last album… I assume Kendrick again, but you gotta see who’s hot to keep himself relevant, so I’m sure there’ll be other people that are gonna be picked on,” he told Now Toronto.
To stay in the charts, Lenox believes Drake will stay in the style of dance music or house music.
Another Toronto resident, Ayla H., is excited to see what Drake has in stock, but says she loves his old music more.
Her friend, Danny P., agreed and says he needs to bring it up after all the beef with Kendrick Lamar.
“I know he got a lot of pressure from the Kendrick Lamar beef, so I hope he delivers,” Danny told Now Toronto.

But Toronto resident Jacob K. doesn’t think Iceman will be a diss track.
“I think he’s given up on that, to be honest. He got beat pretty bad,” Jacob said.
