Drake replaces Kendrick Lamar for the top spot on the Billboard 200 in latest twist of their feud


The Canadian 38-year-old and his collaborator PartyNextDoor reportedly amassed 287M on-demand streams and 25K album sales for their new record Some Sexy Songs 4 U

Drake spent much of last year embroiled in a brutal public feud with Kendrick - releasing four diss tracks (Push Ups, Taylor Made Freestyle, Family Matters, and The Heart Part 6) poking fun of his 5ft5in stature, domestic/sex abuse allegations, 50% record deal, as well as his collaborations with Swift and Maroon 5. On November 25, Drake took their rap beef to a new level when he sued Universal Music Group for allegedly using an illegal 'bots and a payola scheme' in order to artificially inflate the streaming numbers of the 37-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's diss track Not Like Us.
