\n\tSurely Drake<\/a> has heard of meme coins<\/a>, the relatively new trend in the crypto world where pretty much anyone can launch their own cryptocurrency<\/a> and boost its value through viral stunts. There was the infamous Green Dildo Coin that spurred pranksters into throwing green dildos onto the court during WNBA games<\/a>, and shortly before the inauguration, President Donald Trump launched the coins $TRUMP and $MELANIA in a move that many analysts believe could have brought nearly $2 billion <\/a>in essentially anonymous donations to Trump\u2019s White House. Most of these coins are launched on the blockchain Solana, and they commonly start with Pump.fun, which has become the de facto platform for starting meme coins, thanks to the fact that it does not require any technical know-how to get coins started. Recently, Pump.fun relaunched its streaming platform, enabling users to promote their coins through livestreams.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAll of this shouldn\u2019t be news to Drake, a co-owner of the crypto gambling site Stake<\/a>, which also owns the streaming platform Kick, where Drizzy often streams himself wagering frightening amounts of money on what look like low-budget iPhone games. Still, not even the ever-tapped-in Aubrey Graham could\u2019ve imagined his music getting leaked by a couple of teenagers livestreaming to pump the value of their meme coin. Over the weekend, during a Pump.fun stream promoting a coin that they call $BAGWORK, two young creators played what sounded like an unreleased single from Drake\u2019s upcoming album Iceman<\/a>. <\/em>The leak took Drake by such surprise that he called into the Kick stream<\/a> of his resident young people whisperer, Adin Ross, to find clues about who these kids were. At first, Ross seemed skeptical, as Drake is known to roll out songs via unconventional means, and assumed he was aware of the streamers\u2019 identities. \u201cFuck no, I just asked you who they are,\u201d Drake responds, sounding agitated. \u201cWhat the fuck.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe song played on $BAGWORK\u2019s stream has the same beat that Drake teased in the second episode of his Iceman<\/em> livestream last month, leading fans to believe the track is indeed authentic. On the alleged leak, Drake appears to take shots at LeBron James, rapping, \u201cI wanna do shit to the king\/When you were a part of the team, we planned Mexico trips in the spring\/Must\u2019ve been dealing with spur-of-the-moment, because why (Kawhi) did we think you could get us a ring?\u201d During his stream, Ross says he DM\u2019d the creators of $BAGWORK to find out how they got the track. They allegedly told Ross the only way they\u2019d reveal their methods was if he came onto their<\/em> stream.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
