Ayesha Curry is beyond excited for Drake's latest project.

The Canadian rapper dropped his ninth studio album, "Iceman," via OVO Sound and Republic Records on May 15. It marks his first solo full-length since "For All the Dogs" in 2023.

Drake cranked the hype to another level, releasing three albums simultaneously. Apart from Iceman, he also dropped surprise projects "Maid of Honour" and "Habibti." The triple release sent the internet into a frenzy.

Ayesha Curry was among those thrilled by the moment. The wife of Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry shared the album art on her Instagram Stories, along with a message for Drake.

"Whose watching? We are. Whose listening? We are! Congratulations @champagnepapi," she wrote.

Drake has developed a genuinely warm relationship with Stephen Curry over the years. That friendship extends beyond the court to Ayesha Curry as well.

Curry has long been a recurring muse in Drake's lyrics. The rapper famously referenced the four-time NBA champion's Chef Curry nickname on his track "0 to 100/The Catch Up."

"I been Steph Curry with the shot. Been cookin' with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot," Drake rapped.

The friendship remained cordial even when Drake's hometown Toronto Raptors defeated Curry and the Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals.

Drake, a longtime Raptors ambassador, never let the rivalry get in the way. The two are regularly spotted sharing a warm embrace courtside whenever their paths cross at NBA games.

The Currys also make a point to support Drake on his end. The family frequents his concerts whenever they can. Ayesha Curry was even photographed alongside the rapper following his show in Italy, a moment that quickly went viral.

True friends support each other's ventures, and the Currys and Drake are exactly that.
