On April 20 2026, an installation consisting of piles of ice blocks were placed in a parking lot in [[Toronto, Canada]]. This was done for promotion of rapper [[Drake (musician)|Drake's]] upcoming studio album, ''Iceman''; the album's release date was planted inside the structure physically, to be revealed once all of the ice melts. After the location of the ice blocks was revealed, it was reported that multiple fans had attempted to artificially speed up the melting process such as using pickaxes and flamethrowers to damage the ice. Police were later called to do crowd control after multiple people were seen climbing the structure and were at risk of harm.{{Cite web |title=Drake Appears to Tease ‘Iceman’ With Explosions, Ice Blocks and Cryptic Teases Across Toronto {{!}} Billboard Canada |url=https://ca.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/drake-teases-iceman-release-2026 |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=ca.billboard.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Bliss |first=Karen |title=Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Promo Stunt Has Fans Hammering Through Ice - Rolling Stone Canada |url=https://ca.rollingstone.com/drakes-iceman-rollout-fans-hammering-through-ice/ |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=ca.rollingstone.com |language=en-CA}}{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Codi |date=2026-04-21 |title=Police called to do crowd control after Drake’s massive ice sculpture draws hundreds |url=https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/04/21/drakes-massive-ice-sculpture-downtown-draws-hundreds-of-people-as-police-called-to-do-crowd-control/ |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=CP24 |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Drake teases album release, prompts crowd chaos with massive ice blocks in downtown Toronto |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/iceman-release-date-drake-ice-pile-9.7171479|date=April 21, 2026|url-status=live}}
