These Tuesday Spotify numbers will see if he gets above 300k

I don't think he's been affected in any real way. He's still out-streaming every rapper and you've gotta understand that most people who talk s*** about Drake online also listen to him religiously. He's a sure bet to go viral on social media and since people get paid off engagements now, you'll see people going at him just because they know it'll give them virality.

In reality, I have a handful of followers who are Rihanna disciples and who always talk s*** on Drake who went to his last tour and who always have him in their top 5 artists on Spotify Wrapped.

Even though ~300k is actually pretty decent given the circumstances when you think about it, people fail to realize no matter how much noise Kendrick made last Summer, he also alienated a sect of listeners too.

Pre-beef there were the parasocial Drake fans who actually still bumped Kendrick. I can't tell you how many times I've read super Drake diehards say they aren't even listening to the album as to not support it or saying it's trash before even listening. He gained fans but also lost fans as well.

That's cap imo but he's gotta say that for the case to have any sort of validity.

Drake literally filed legal documents saying it did irreversible damage to his reputation, business, financial status and overall well being.

For sure he has a massive back catalog and will continue to get play no matter what, it will be interesting to see how his newer releases do after this year.

I will say though that in my eyes his credibility has taken a huge hit in the hip hop space and imo, kinda unprecedented to lawyer up after starting the personal attacks. Does it end up affecting the streams? I would guess probably not too much because the pop side and people that don’t really care about drama will continue to play.

He signed his name next to “everything in this document is true something something perjury”

Are you saying Drake would lie in a lawsuit!? My papi would never lie

@superstar is predicting this one of the reasons you said the west won’t come back until redacted rapper/singer drops?

Yes, because you can't make a case for defamation without saying that you've sustained damage lmao.

cope. its dog s*** numbers for an artist who just supposedly had a bigger year than drake

• biggest rap beef of all time
• biggest streaming year of his entire career
• broke records for the biggest song in terms of streaming which Gods Plan once held
• rick ross fat as s***
• superbowl announcement
• white elitist publications doing interviews
• meat munchers the entire year talking about kendricks new album gonna shake the game
• ASAP Rocky.

he just did Mr Morale numbers, on a year like this.

2 factors that COULDA HAVE caused this let down:

1. Single/diss songs were actually botted and the streams didnt equal real demand

OR

2. The album was a let down and NEUTRAL fans didnt even bother listening to it.

"supposedly"
What did Drake even drop this year that's touching NLU or GNX?
