As if Drake’s rollout for Iceman and its accompanying albums couldn’t get any bigger, he’s now given his hometown’s mayor a new nickname.
Toronto’s mayor, Olivia Chow, has shared a handwritten thank-you note she received from the rapper — one that gave her a new moniker.
Mayor Chow hopped on Instagram to share a photo of an Iceman-themed thank-you note that she got from Drizzy. The note reads, “Thank you my crodi, Crolivia Chow! Iceman 2026.”
Drake was inside of Toronto’s City Hall, Chow’s office included, for one night at some undisclosed point prior to Iceman dropping. The results can be seen in his video for “Make Them Remember.”
“It’s great because Drake has done so much for the city. The world was watching, and he’s making us proud,” Chow told Toronto’s Breakfast Television.
In the caption of her picture of the note, Chow delivered praise for Drake.
“You’re welcome Iceman,” she wrote with an ice cube emoji. “@champagnepapi is a big booster of our city. Happy to host his team at City Hall.”

Chow has enjoyed Drake’s rollout for Iceman in recent months. In April, when Drake’s team erected a massive ice sculpture in Toronto to reveal the album’s release date, Chow got involved after the city deemed the installation to be dangerous.
After firefighters safely melted the ice, Chow spoke about backing the decision to do so in a media release.
“The fire chief made the decision last night, and I support his decision. His responsibility is people’s safety,” she said. “Folks climbed it. I’ve seen them doing all types of things. It is our responsibility to make sure people are safe.”
“Drake is a big supporter of our city, and there’s so much excitement across our city towards this new album, the Iceman,” she added. “I’m excited too, it’s going to be a great summer … but please, be safe.”
Chow and Drake fans everywhere got more than what they wished for when Drizzy dropped Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour on Friday (May 15). The fact that he released the three albums on the same day has led fans to theorize that he did so as a way of fulfilling his album requirements with Universal Music Group.
Though he doesn’t address that speculation on any of the projects, he does hint at going independent on the track “Make Them Pay” on Iceman. On it, he raps, “I’m better off independent, they should let him leave, yeah/‘Cause I just wanna be free.”
