- Canadian rapper releasing new music
- Nod to Palmer in social media video
- Drake is known for being big sports fan
England international Palmer has seen his stock soar since completing a transfer from Manchester City to Stamford Bridge in 2023. His goal celebration has become iconic, while his celebrity status means that an A-list friendship group continues to grow.
Palmer was recently spotted at an event alongside British musician Central Cee, allowing him to make acquaintances with Canadian rapper Drake. The ‘One Dance’ performer is a big sports fan and is famed for his elaborate bets on major events.
Drake would appear to be an admirer of Palmer, having seen him inspire Chelsea to FIFA Club World Cup glory on American soil, and has offered a nod towards the 23-year-old No.10 playing a role in the naming of his latest album.
Drake has settled on ‘Iceman’, which is the name that Palmer said he would take on if he were to become a rapper. Drake has included a clip of the Chelsea star saying that in a montage of images and videos on social media.
Palmer is currently enjoying a short summer break on the back of his Club World Cup exploits. After splitting with girlfriend Connie Grace, he was spotted partying in Ibiza last week at the famous O Beach club owned by Gary Lineker’s brother Wayne.
