Kendrick Lamar continues to oushine Drake on streaming services after emerging victorious in their recent feud.
On Tuesday (July 16), Kendrick’s total number of monthly listeners on Spotify soared to 74,115,665, eclipsing the 6 God’s 74,086,033.
It marks the first time ever that the Compton rapper has had more monthly listeners on the platform than his Canadian counterpart, who remains Spotify’s most-streamed artist with over 100 billion spins to his name.
It also represents a huge turnaround for Kendrick, whose monthly listeners sat below 55 million in March prior to the release of “Like That,” his blistering collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin that ignited his long-simmering beef with Drake.
At that time, Drizzy reigned supreme over K. Dot with well over 80 million monthly listeners.

Both Kendrick and Drake still have some catching up to do, though, as Eminem boasts over 84 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the most of any rapper.
Overall, the Detroit native has the eighth-most monthly listeners, with The Weeknd (105 million), Taylor Swift (97 million) and Billie Eilish (96 million) comprising the top three.
Kendrick Lamar has achieved enormous commercial success since the start of the feud and, to add insult to injury, has broken a number of records previously held by Drake in the process.
Earlier this week, his diss song “Not Like Us” leapfrogged Drizzy’s “God’s Plan” to become the fastest rap song to reach 500 million streams on Spotify.
The hit song also returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, nine weeks after debuting at No. 1 on the chart. It’s Kendrick’s first solo chart-topper to spent multiple weeks at the summit.
Additionally, “Not Like Us” nearly 400 million more streams than Drizzy’s “Push Ups,” which was the most commercially successful of the 6 God’s diss songs.
The success of “Not Like Us” and its accompanying music video have also had a positive impact on other businesses.
The visual prominently features Compton-based restaurant Tam’s Burgers, with Kendrick and producer Mustard being seen both inside and outside the burger spot.
Since the release of the video last week, the restaurant has reported that business is up 30 to 40 percent.
The owners have also offered K. Dot a lifetime’s supply of free meals as a token of their appreciation.
I remember when nas was prematurely declared the winner. Over the years though, jay z stayed winning while nas dropped off the charts altogether. Same thing will happen where drake stays on top while kendrick flops
No it won’t. Jay-Z list to Nas. There’s no getting around that same thing with Kendrick beating Drake. It was unanimous. Jay-Z has to apologize to his own mother for the SuperUgly diss track that he aimed at Nas. Also Drake is gay.
Jay stopped making music.
@B he’s in his 50’s . He stopped making music 2 decades after the Nas beef
Thats the problem with having 99% female fans. They grow up and move on. Male fans ride with you for life. So drake falling off was inevitable. Kendrick just happened to be the guy lucky enough to initiate it. Also drake had too much social media dirt.
1. Women can be loyal to an artist instead of being bandwagon groupies. 2. Drake has almost as many male fans as kendrick. 3. I know many male eminem fans getting tired of eminem’s latest flop
4. Ovo is a slow-witted, obese, dateless drake fan who obsesses over him like she’s a 12 year old
all you cocksuckers gone die. starting with bendrick. worthless rap negroes will lose everything fast
You mad, little guy ?
look cocksuckers gone die and nothing can be done. all you bitches disgrace yourselves daily. just maggots
Yeah you’re big mad lol
nothing but a worthless piece of shit gone laugh when he is dead FUCK UR MOMMA
Your mother regrets having you every single day of her life
casket closed funeral for Bendrick FUCK UR MOMMA SHE A WH0RE
I’m so gay that even Elton John calls me queen.
We all know the queer youth anthem Not Like Us gets the booty bandit crowd excited. still never heard it nowhere
I meant to say Push Ups cuz I wear a push up bra and booty shorts while I twerk to it.
This is an ultra misleading article. Objectively, Drake still receives ~7,000,000 more daily streams than Kendrick as of yesterday (Source – https://kworb.net/spotify/artists.html). I’m a fan of both artist, this is just poor journalism.
