Mysterious Toronto parking lot full of ice blocks marks another Drake stunt generating buzz

After playing with fire in Toronto last week, Drake has been spotted in the city once again, this time flipping the thermostat all the way down.

Over the weekend, fans noticed a mysterious parking lot near Dundas and Church streets decked out with giant blocks of ice.

Naturally, everyone connected the dots and assumed it was another stunt to promote the rapper's impending album titled Iceman. 

No official word yet on whether the frosty parking lot next to the Bond Hotel was set up for a photoshoot or for the very same video shoot as last week's "giant fireball explosion" that rocked Downsview Park. 

Some people online were even skeptical that the stunt was even related to Drake – until someone on X captured the Canadian rapper walking on set. 

"Is this why temperatures went down to below zero again?" read an upvoted comment on Reddit.

But not everyone is hyped, and, as expected, users began to troll the former Degrassi star.

"Aubrey Graham's ice sculpting competition," a Redditor wrote.

"Drake in his Penguin era," another user wrote, while another posted, "This dude be doing too much."

Love him or hate him, there's no stopping Drake, who seemingly is going all out to promote his new album, his first in over three years. We predict more antics in the coming weeks, though the release date has yet to be announced. And much like the hot-and-cold weather here in Toronto, you'll just have to grin and bear it.
