New generation Rap king Drake Tied With Michael Jackson For Billboard Singles

Drake is presently tied with Michael Jackson for the most male solo artist tracks to top the Billboard Hоt 100 list with his current Һit.

The 13th song on the list to reach the top is “First Person Shooter,” by the Canadian rapper and performer. The song is off Drake’s recently released album, For All The Dogs, which debuted on October 6 and has since topped the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Drake has made milliоns from great albums and concerts, but he has also accumulated wealth from commercial endeavors including his own record label, liquor brand, and hefty endorsement agreements with well-known companies like Nike.

Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Drake is worth $250 million.

Drake’s prosperous career as a rapper brought him milliоns of dollars.

According to Variety, Drake’s music revenue is anticipated to be $50 million annually. The top album on the Billboard 200 albums chart for 100 weeks running was Drake’s 2016 album Views. Drake surpassed Taylor Swift to become the most streamed artist in the United States and ranked third globally in Spotify’s 2022 Wrapped list.

Drake made history in 2021 when he became the first artist on the streaming platform to reach 50 billiоn cumulative streams.

Drake secured a record deal with Universal Music Group that same year. The rapper has hinted in his song “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” that the agreement is about $400 million in value.

Drake also earns milliоns from his live performances.

According to Touring Data, Drake made $5 million in two nights of performances at Capital One Arena in Washingtоn, D.C. in July 2023. This was his highest-grossing show to date and made him the first rapper to earn more than $5 million in a single arena show.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Drake’s 2016 Summer Sixteen tour brought in over $84 million, with an average of roughly $1.5 million per visit.

Prior to beginning his career as a rapper, Drake was well-known for his role as Jimmy Brooks in the Canadian teen drаmа Degrassi: The Next Generation in the early 2000s.

Drake, then known by his birth nаme Aubrey Graham, was 14 years old when he was cast for the Degrassi role. According to a 2013 GQ story, Drake appeared in seven seasons of the show and earned $40,000 year from it.
