The news of Drakeâs achievement was shared by Kurrco on X (formerly Twitter), sparking fan discussions about his feud with Lamar. One fan commented, âLmao [laughing emoji] man diss Spotify for now giving artists what they deserved, still couldnât stop him from getting a billi [fire emojis] haters gonna hate.â Another fan added, âDrake gave a career to Kanye and Kendrick, Metro and Future and is too much above the Rap Game. It will never change until he retires.â
The beef with Lamar began earlier this year when Kendrick dissed Drake on Future and Metro Boominâs track âLike That.â In response, Drake released several diss tracks, with âFamily Mattersâ alone garnering 75 million streams. Lamar countered with tracks like âMeet The Grahamsâ and âNot Like Us.â
Drakeâs impressive streaming numbers were confirmed by Hip Hop All Day and verified by KWORB, which tracks streams and rankings. Bad Bunny is his closest competition across all genres, with 78.5 billion streams. In the rap genre, Drake has more than double the streams of Eminem, who has 46.8 billion.

The songâs cover art features a label for a size 7 shoe, mocking Kendrick with the line: âHow the fuck you big steppinâ with a size-seven menâs?â However, a sneaker boutique clarified that Kendrickâs shoe size is actually 8.5-9.
âPush Ups,â produced by Boi-1da, Amir âFierceâ Sims, Scotty Coleman, and Noel Cadastre, addresses various ongoing beefs, particularly with Lamar. The song was officially released through OVO Sound and has been confirmed as an authentic Drake track.
