In 2023, YoungBoy became the youngest artist to get 100 songs in the Billboard Hot 100.
As for Drake, Chart Data reported that the Canadian superstar was “the #1 most streamed rapper on Spotify in 2023, with over 17.6 billion streams.” It is worth noting that Taylor Swift broke the record for the most number of streams in a single year on the platform, confirming Drizzy’s “Red Button” bar: “Taylor Swift the only n-gga that I ever rated.”
As for full-length projects, Our Generation Music shared that Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains became “the MOST streamed rap album of 2023 with 3.3 Billion streams on Spotify,” making it “the only rap album to reach over 3B streams this year.”

With both artists generating monumental digits, it’s clear that they’re still running the game.
Last month, Metro Boomin set the record straight regarding his alleged beef with Drake. The superstar producer took to Twitter in late December and responded to a fan who brought up the tension between him and the 6 God.
“Are u and Drake seriously beefing or is it not that deep?” one social media asked the producer, to which he replied: “Not deep at all lmao.”
