Habibti (Arabic: حبيبتي, romanized: ḥabībtī, lit. 'My Beloved') is the eleventh studio album by Canadian rapper Drake. With little prior announcement, it was surprise released by OVO Sound and Republic Records on May 15, 2026, alongside his ninth and tenth albums Iceman and Maid of Honour.[1] The albums serve as a follow-up to Drake's collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U (2025) and mark his first full-length solo releases since his eighth album For All the Dogs (2023). PartyNextDoor appears as a guest on Habibti alongside Sexyy Red, Loe Shimmy, and Qendresa.[2]

Background and promotion

The album was surprise released alongside Drake's other two albums released on May 15, 2026, Iceman and Maid of Honour following the fourth and last episode of Drake's Iceman album livestreams.[3] Drake would then announce the three albums with the caption "All 3 albums dropping at midnight from the biggest sound".[4]

Habibti serves as the shortest album from Drake's three simultaneously released albums with Iceman and Maid of Honour, which includes 11 tracks running for 36 minutes.[5]

In an unfavourable three-album review for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis stated Habibti "sound[s] like old ground being half-heartedly retrodden for the sake of it," and referred to "Rusty Intro" as "tuneless acoustic guitar backed rambling".[10] Dalton Higgins of The Globe and Mail was also critical, calling the album "largely forgettable".[11]
