He also released episode four of his Iceman series on YouTube, keeping the visual side of the rollout moving alongside the music.
What Drake said about Adin Ross
Ross had been listening from the start when “Make Them Pay” reached the line that set him off. On the track, Drake references Ross while also taking a shot at Rick Ross.
“Dog, I was aidin’ Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed,” Drake raps.
Ross nearly fell out of his chair after hearing it.
“What the fck! Yo, holy sit. What the fck? I made it!” he shouted. “Oh my god, what the fck. Chat, on my mom and dad’s life, on everything, I didn’t know I was there, I swear to God. He never told me, I swear to God. That’s crazy. Holy fck. Wow. What the fck.”
The reaction landed because Ross insisted he had no advance warning. For a streamer whose job often involves broadcasting the moment in real time, this one did not need much production.
The FaceTime call after the release
After the album launch, Ross also got Drake on a brief FaceTime call to congratulate him.
“I love you too, I’ll talk to you later,” Drake told him before ending the call.
The exchange was short, but it made the shoutout feel less like a random lyric and more like a nod between two people who have built a public friendship over the last few years.
Drake and Ross have regularly appeared together on Kick streams, where they have gambled and given money away to viewers. Their collaborations have helped blend two very online worlds: superstar rap and livestream entertainment, a combination that remains lucrative, chaotic, and rarely quiet.
Why the name-drop drew attention
The moment also comes with some broader context. Drake and Ross have both been named in a lawsuit involving Stake, the gambling platform connected to Kick, over their promotion of the gambling site.
That legal issue has not stopped their public association from being a point of interest for fans, viewers, and critics watching the overlap between livestreaming, celebrity endorsements, and online gambling.
For Ross, though, the immediate emotion was simpler. He heard his name in a Drake lyric, on a major release, while thousands of viewers watched him process it in real time. In the modern attention economy, that is about as official as a plaque on the wall, just louder.
