A Big Month For Drake Leaks
Earlier this month, Drake was declared the most-streamed rapper in Spotify history. He has surpassed 80 billion streams total, following the success of his April release of "Search & Rescue." In February he surpassed 75 billion streams, and used the opportunity to tell Spotify to pay artists better. “We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” he said. The artist went on, telling Spotify, “So feel free to send me a Lebron sized cheque I have enough dinner plates."
T-Pain compared himself to Drake recently, citing some of his older songs about longing for women. He claimed that Drake has the "simping" genre covered. He said on Nappy Boy Radio, “I had zero confidence in any of my music, I was always the simp, remember?” The artist continued, adding, “I was always the n***a that didn’t have any confidence that anything could happen at all, I was always wishing for a girl." “‘I’m Sprung’ – that was about me simping to hell. First real simp joint. ‘I’m In Love With A Stripper’ – never said I ever got her. Just said I liked her a bunch. ‘Bartender’ – never took her anywhere. She was just a bartender. Never said we f***ed or anything. Just me simping from afar,” he explained. When Rob Markman claimed that he thinks "we need that back in music," Pain responded, telling him, "Simpin’? Nah, I think Drake got it covered.”
