Taylor Rooks has responded to Drake name-dropping her in his unreleased track “Supermax,” which premiered during his surprise Iceman Episode 1 livestream on Friday (July 4).
The song, which quickly sparked chatter online, features a reflective moment where Drake recalls a meaningful conversation with a woman named Taylor — presumably Rooks — during a night out.
“I was talking to Taylor over drinks, and it was getting deep / ‘Not everyone can handle this pressure and, in the city, you’re the national treasure,’ that’s what she said to me,” Drake raps.
The shoutout didn’t go unnoticed, and Taylor has since reacted — keeping the buzz going around the track and their now-viral convo.
Not long after Drake’s Iceman Episode 1 livestream aired, Taylor Rooks all but confirmed she was the “Taylor” mentioned in his unreleased track “Supermax.”
Rooks took to her Instagram Stories and posted a screenshot from the livestream, captioning it with the exact line Drake rapped: “That’s what she said to me.” The subtle but clear nod left little doubt that the intimate conversation Drake referenced in the song really did happen — and that Rooks was, in fact, the source of the memorable words.
The lyric, paired with Taylor Rooks’ subtle confirmation, sent fans spiraling across social media, with speculation swirling about the true nature of her relationship with Drake. While Rooks has long suggested that she and the rapper share a solid friendship, the intimate tone of the lyric had many reading between the lines.
The buzz also reignited old rumors, with fans digging up past tweets from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey, who once voiced support for Kendrick Lamar during his feud with Drake. Given past rumors that Rooks and Dorsey were romantically linked, the internet couldn’t help but draw connections — turning the moment into a full-blown timeline dive.
“Supermax” stood out as one of the key highlights from Drake’s mysterious Iceman Episode 1 livestream, which unfolded in a dark, industrial-style warehouse drenched in moody lighting and heavy “Iceman” branding. The atmospheric setting and unreleased tracks only added fuel to the speculation that a full project might be on the way, keeping fans locked in and eager for what’s next.
