Drake Congratulates Kendrick Lamar For Beating “More Life” Sales With “DAMN.”

    Drake is the world’s most-streamed artist by a long shot, so there’s really no reason to assume he’s going to block another rapper’s shine when they excel.

    Flying in the face of a rivalry that a drama-thirsty culture is dying to see, the Canadian superstar took to Instagram this weekend to congratulate Kendrick on beating the sales for More Life.

    Drizzy commented beneath a photo of a tweet that specifically showed the details of how DAMN. had overtaken More Life for a second week with a magnanimous “Amazing to see our music moving!!!” alongside plenty of prayer emojis for good measure.

    In its first week, Kendrick’s DAMN. officially sold a breathtaking 603,000 copies, with 353,000 of those being traditional sales. The figures trumped Drake’s impressive opening week sales of 505,000 by just short of 100,000.

    Will this be enough to silence the rumors that the two have some kind of beef under the scenes? Probably not, but it’s a step in the right direction.

    1. maybe now the kendrick die hard fans can stop seeing drakes success as an insult to their god

    2. Yes, very classy move from the 6ix God. He lets us, the OVO Army, do the venting that he wants to do. Only a matter of time before Kendrick’s shine dies down and Drake is back on top. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife #MoreLife

    3. HIPHOPDX by on DRAKES d!(k so much that they trying to act like Drake congratulated Kendrick for showing him that he not on top of the game!!!! All I see is a screen grab of somebody trying to WAVE RIDE like DRAKE ALWAYS DOES!!! CLICK BAIT AT ITS FINEST!!! That aint no congratulations, HIPHOPDX your allegiance couldn’t be anymore clear after this attempt!!!

    4. people forget that drake was one of the first people to co sign Kenny. 2 very different artist…….

      1. It’s true – but we aren’t dealing with realists on this website….most Kendrick fans don’t even know that…laughable but it is what it is

        1. Dr. Dre and Tech N9ne co-signed Kendrick long before Drake did. And besides, the Buried Alive interlude was the best part on the entire Take Care album. *waits for triggered responses*

    5. our music? is that also yours? just fucking stop attaching yourself to shit you dickless pussy boy

      1. You gotta at least go Gold to put yourself in the Goat discussion. It shows Ppl like your music. Along with having dope bars and songs that you wrote yourself.

    6. lmfao now people are analizeing drakes congrats smdh, if all you real hip hop heads took that much time on your own life , you guys would be some where in life. smdh crazy how people say drake is not part of hip hop when hes alll around it in real life. well we all sit here on the internet with each other

    7. Lol what y’all think he was gonna say? Fu©k Kendrick Lamar he pu$$y his fans pu$$y and his album trash…he said what anyone would have said. And that’s basically “congratulations” K.dot was riding around playing and singing along to Views not to long ago. They on good terms and each knows they place.

    8. Why Ppl keep saying drake put kdot on? Poetic Justice? The album was classic without that song and it was the worst song on the album. I thought Dr.Dre and TDE’s Top Dog helped get him right. Not to mention his rap ability (section 80) . I doubt Canadian drake was checking for new rap talent in Compton back then. So I don’t get the drake did it for k.dot talk.

    9. Oh no… Drake is now even grooming Kendrick to steal his music!! Is any artist safe from this vulture?? Drakes next album going to sound exactly like Compton by Dre

    10. Now Aubrey wanna be friends with K. Dot. When usually Aubrey raps (or sings) about how no other rapper can catch up to him or isn’t in his league. Yeah, K. Dot surprised this pop star and blew his numbers out of the water. Fuck Aubrey and his More Trash album.

      1. but he didnt blow him out the water. Drake wouldnt go from selling over a million for views then drop 500,000 for more life. It was projected to sell 500k because it wasnt considered an album. Kendricks sales week was 2days longer than Drakes, thats a huge factor.

    11. Drake put Migos on that Versace song, before that nobody gave them much attention at least nationally. He also put Kendrick on when him, 2chainz, and Asap Rocky did “fkn problem”. (let’s face it ASAP’s verse was not the one) At least these two are pushing hip hop in the right direction

        1. It was…BUT….they weren’t payin attention to migos nationally before drake hopped on the remix. And to be real, not many even know migos verses from that song lol. Same thing Ye, Pusha, n Jada did for “Don’t Like”. Keef n Reese had the original rockin a lil bit, but the features from bigger artists gained them more attention

          1. They did not put keef On what you on drake did not put Kendrick Lamar on boy so stop it boy

      1. Drake put K Dot on with Fkn Problems? How you acting like Section 80 wasn’t the flame that put himself on? ASAP VERSE WASN’T THE ONE???? My chest

    12. Kendrick put himself on and fuckin problems was asap rocky song…get off of drake’s scrotum

    13. Yeah numbers mean a lot as long as k.dot is pulling em buh if it is white boy eminem or soft ass drake then it dont mean shit!

    14. I salute Kendrick but what everyone is forgetting is Drake only released his album digitally and still sold over 500,000 and two weeks later when he released the physical copy he sold 250,000 first week but we will let you Kendrick fans think what y’all want ??? #youngmoney #morenumbersthananylabelinhistory

      1. and, drake had 5day sales week for more life, kendrick had 7days for damn, so its
        not fair to compare the two

    15. What’s funny is that on the the title it says Drake congratulated Kendrick but Drake said Amazing to see our muisc moving not Kendricks lol.

    16. Is Drake still a rapper most of views was him singing. Same with this more life album. Trey Songz raps more on his albums. So how and why is Drake still considered a rapper?

      1. so to answer your damn question, is Trey Songs considered a rapper now cuz he sometimes raps on his songs?
