While he’s got a new solo album in the works, Drake still has time for his Better World Fragrance House brand.
Drake has released his first Eau de Parfum through his Better World Fragrance House brand.
The Summer Mink fragrance is available for $148 through the company’s website and will be coming to Ulta Beauty locations across North America on May 12.
In honor of the Summer Mink release, the rapper stars in a new advertisement for the fragrance in which he dives deep into the science of crafting the perfect scent. “F–k. F–k, that’s good,” he said after finally finding the formula. “That’s it. That’s it.”
In the comments section of Better World Fragrance House’s Instagram page, fans are loving the commercial. “Bruh actually a good actor you can tell he be having fun doing ts,” one user wrote. Another added: “Drake we need the album asap. I got enemies and fine shyts waiting on me to pop up.”
Michael Carby, senior perfumer at Givaudan, in the press release caught by Billboard, spoke about the perfume.
“Summer Mink was inspired by a yin-yang principle of fusing warm, creamy base notes with cold spices and sparkling citruses. The ingredient composition was uniquely crafted to reflect a multinational culture with aspirations toward a Better World.”

In addition to his work with Better World Fragrance House, the rapper is already preparing a new studio album. He confirmed the news during a Kick livestream with Adin Ross earlier this month, as caught by Rolling Stone.
“Thank you to everybody that’s streaming the album,” he said, referring to his PartyNextDoor collaboration, $exy $ongs 4 U. “Every time, every journey. Working on a new album, it’s a slap.” He also confirmed that it’s a solo project.
As for what fans can expect from the solo effort, he wrote on Instagram about entering a “new chapter” back in March.
“U know I grew up non-confrontational and always treated this game as a sport where my pen won gold, but these days the podium has been hard for all of us to ignore,” he wrote at the time. “I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity, not charity, that answers some questions, especially about the unanswered texts you’ve been sending me.”
Drake Claims He Won $1 Million in a Stake Bet
Drake said he won over a million dollars by betting on an NBA playoff game. The superstar posted the proof of his winnings on his Instagram Story.
The bet, as is his pattern, was made on Stake, the online cryptocurrency casino Drizzy gets paid $100 million a year to endorse, per a 2023 report from the Financial Times, which cited “two people familiar with the details.”
His seven-figure haul came from betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves to triumph over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday (April 25). In Drake’s first post about the bet, he screenshotted his betslip with the caption “Lemme see sum Ant,” referring to Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards.
In a second post, he shared his $1,026,871.42 payout after Edwards let him see some by scoring 29 points while leading his team to a 116-104 victory.
That’s a pretty big prize, but Drake’s no stranger to winning large sums of money from gambling. He revealed a few months ago that he won a $40 million jackpot from gambling while at, of all places, a Dave & Buster’s.
In a video advertisement for Stake, where he answered different betting questions, the rapper recalled what happened. “The biggest win I ever had, I was in Dave & Buster’s,” he said.
“I was getting this random girl to call roulette numbers for me. I hit like eight out of 10 numbers, and I think by the end of the night, we had won like 38 million? 40 million? Yeah, $40 million. It’s crazy, the craziest night ever gambling for sure. January of 2024 was crazy. That’s not even the word for it.”

Drake’s been an official partner of Stake since 2022. Back then, the gambling platform’s co-founder, Ed Craven, expressed his excitement for the partnership in a statement to SBC Americas.
Back in March, Drizzy joked that he posted a Stake ad so he could receive a $2 million credit to gamble with.
Earlier this month, the rapper joined Adin Ross for his first gambling stream of 2025 called “Stake vs Drake & Adin.” On the stream, the duo gave out $1 million in prizes for viewers.
