Kendrick Lamar is about to become the first rapper to hit 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Kendrick Lamar is on the brink of making history on Spotify, as the Compton rapper is just a million streams away from becoming the first-ever rapper to reach 100 million monthly listeners. This achievement would cement Lamar’s place as a monumental figure in the music industry, surpassing his longtime rival Drake, who had previously held the record for the most monthly listeners.
Lamar’s rise to this milestone is a testament to his ever-growing influence and the global impact of his artistry. The rapper, whose albums have consistently topped charts and sparked cultural conversations, is now poised to redefine what it means to be a dominant force in the music world.
His ascension to this unprecedented achievement comes at a time when his rival, Drake, has recently dropped a joint album titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with PartyNextDoor. While many fans eagerly awaited how the album would fare in the ongoing rivalry, Drake’s loyal fan, DJ Akademiks, shared insights into a recent conversation he had with the Canadian artist.
Akademiks revealed that he asked Drake if his new project was focused on Kendrick, following Lamar’s Super Bowl performance that many perceived as a pointed move against Drake. Akademiks stated that Drake assured him he wouldn’t be dedicating any more energy to the rivalry, adding that fans may want to see an emotional response from the artist, but that’s not something Drake plans to provide.
Lamar’s achievement on Spotify marks a significant shift in the landscape of hip-hop. As the first rapper to reach such heights, he is breaking barriers and leading the charge for the genre’s continued dominance on streaming platforms.
With only a million streams standing between him and the milestone, the countdown is on. Lamar’s upcoming music releases and performances are expected to further bolster his already impressive streaming numbers, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest to ever do it.
