Drake films new video in Turks & Caicos with ‘Iceman’ – Hot 100.9
Drake is currently enjoying the sun and sand of Turks and Caicos, but his vacation is taking on a whole new twist as he transforms the tropical paradise into the backdrop for his latest music video. The well-known Toronto artist was recently seen filming a fresh music video with the up-and-coming talent Stunna Sandy, primed to dominate the summer airwaves. The vibrant tropical shoot comes in the wake of Drake’s monumental success with his album “Iceman.”
Fans were treated to a sneak peek of the island shoot when footage leaked online, causing a sensation on social media. With Stunna Sandy prominently featured in the video, speculation is rife that it might be for the track “Outside Tweaking” from Drake’s recent album “Maid of Honour.” The catchy club anthem has been a favorite among fans, who have eagerly been awaiting the visual treatment. The energetic footage promises to capture the essence of summer in the most spectacular way.
Aside from working on his latest music video, Drake also hopped on board the internet trend train, participating in the viral “Shabang” challenge that has taken platforms like TikTok by storm. In a video uploaded by a TikTok user, Drake can be seen casually standing on a balcony when a cocktail magically appears in his hand, a signature move that has captivated thousands online. The challenge, centered around Drake’s hit song “Shabang,” pays homage to his co-producer Maneesh Bidaye while encouraging creators to make items appear magically on screen.
The “Shabang” challenge has gained immense popularity, drawing in celebrities like Summer Walker and Joe Jonas. The challenge’s success has propelled the song into the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 charts, where it currently stands alongside other summer hits. Migos member Offset even declared the track the unequivocal “song of the summer.”
Drake’s album “Iceman” made a splash by debuting at the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, marking a historic feat as Drake concurrently held the top three positions on the chart with his sister projects. The album’s massive success also allowed Drake to surpass Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 songs by a male solo artist in history. This achievement was cleverly hinted at in the cover art of “Iceman,” featuring Drake sporting Jackson’s iconic crystal-studded glove.
