Drake Crowned Spotify’s Most-Streamed Rapper for 2024 Amid Ongoing Feud With Kendrick Lamar

Despite a heated diss track battle with Kendrick Lamar, Drake continues his reign as the most-streamed rap artist on Spotify, marking his eighth consecutive year at the top.

The feud kicked off with Kendrick’s venomous feature on Metro Boomin and Future ’s “Like That” and follow-ups “Euphoria,” “6:16 in LA,” “Meet the Grahams,” and “Not Like Us,” while Drake hit back with “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Part 6.” Drake alleges that the corporation artificially boosted streams for Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” by compensating Spotify and iHeartRadio and accuses UMG of defamation in the song’s distribution. No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear,” the company stated, per Billboard.
