rake Shatters Records, Hits 100 Billion Spotify Streams Amidst Lamar Feud

Drake has made history as the first artist to surpass 100 billion streams on Spotify, solidifying his position as a dominant force in the music industry. The milestone comes during a highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar, showcasing Drake's ability to maintain his popularity amid controversy.

The feud ignited when Lamar targeted Drake on Future and Metro Boomin's track "Like That." Drake responded with diss tracks, including "Family Matters" and "The Heart Part 6," along with collaborations like "U My Everything" with Sexyy Red. "Family Matters" alone garnered 75 million streams.

Lamar retaliated with tracks like "Meet The Grahams" and "Not Like Us," intensifying the rivalry. Drake's achievement was confirmed by Chart Data and verified by KWORB, a platform that tracks streams and rankings across various music services.
