DUBAI: Canadian megastar Drake has called out Palestinian DJ Khaled on his highly anticipated album “ICEMAN” for not talking about Palestine.
On the album which dropped on Friday and includes 18 tracks, the rapper makes the diss on track four titled “Make Them Pay.”
The lyrics say: “And Khaled, you know what I mean … And your people are still waitin’ for a Free Palestine. But apparently, everything isn’t black and white and red and green, man.”
DJ Khaled has been publicly criticized for not speaking up about Palestine since Oct. 7 despite his Palestinian heritage.
Drake’s album also features alleged disses at other rappers including Kendrick Lamar, who publicly called out Drake in his 2024 song “Not like Us.”
In track four titled “Janice STFU” Drake says: “White kids listen to you ‘cause they feel some guilt, and that’s how your soul gets fulfilled.” According to annotations on the website Genius, this is a diss at Lamar.
The release of “ICEMAN” also came with two new surprise albums from Drake titled “Habibti” and “Maid of Honor.”
