AceShowbiz - On the latest album Drake released titled ICEMAN, a lyric referencing adult film actress Cherokee D’Ass has sparked attention and a reaction from the performer herself.

In the track "Make Them Pay," Drake raps a shoutout mentioning Cherokee D’Ass alongside another adult star, Skyy Black, recalling a birthday party where he was searching for "big booty Ebonies." The reference quickly gained traction on social media platforms.

Cherokee D’Ass first rose to fame in the early 2000s and became one of the most recognized Black adult entertainers of that time. Known for her curvy physique and roles in interracial and urban-themed adult productions, she has maintained a dedicated fanbase through various media, including DVDs, magazines, and her current promotion of OnlyFans content.

After the lyric went viral, Cherokee D’Ass responded on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the fact that the events referenced happened over two decades ago, showing a somewhat dismissive attitude toward the mention.

Meanwhile, ICEMAN continues to create buzz across streaming services, also boosting the exposure of several emerging artists associated with the album. According to online reports from fans, Molly Santana’s Spotify monthly listeners surged from 569,000 to 7.8 million following the release. Similarly, Stunna Sandy’s monthly listeners jumped from 336,000 to 2 million. Other artists like Iconic Savvy and Qendresa also saw significant increases in their streaming numbers tied to the album.

The viral lyric and ensuing reactions illustrate how Drake’s work not only sparks conversation but also impacts the visibility of related artists and figures in the entertainment industry.
