As the rapper infamously said, "What a time to be alive."

On Thursday, the 35-year-old stunned fans when he announced his forthcoming album Honestly, Nevermind is poised to drop at midnight.

The record serves as the follow-up to his 2021 release of Certified Lover Boy. Though the Toronto native hasn't uttered a word about his new music, the major surprise has not gone unnoticed.

DJ Semtex commented on Drake's Instagram announcement with a simple "let's f**king go," while MLS player Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty said "summer has officially started."

Drake's seventh album isn't the only surprise on the way, either. On Thursday night, the first episode of his SiriusXM radio show Table For One is set to premiere, where the One Dance singer is expected to spill some tea on his forthcoming album.

The episode is slated to premiere at 11 PM ET on Thursday, with Honestly, Nevermind dropping one hour later.
