Drake continues his dominance in the music industry, achieving yet another milestone on Spotify. As of March 5, the Canadian rapper has surpassed 95 billion streams on the platform, making him the first artist to reach this extraordinary feat. The achievement, confirmed by stream-tracking company Kworb, solidifies Drake’s position at the pinnacle of the music world.
His staggering numbers overshadow the competition, with nearly 20 billion more streams than the second-ranked artist, Bad Bunny. Notable names like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber trail behind in the top 10, highlighting Drake’s unparalleled influence on the streaming platform.
In addition to his musical triumphs, Drake’s OVO brand has joined forces with renowned Japanese fashion house NEEDLES for an exciting collaboration. The collection, unveiled on March 1, features a seven-piece capsule showcasing the iconic animal logos of both brands—the butterfly of NEEDLES and the owl of OVO.
Among the standout pieces are tracksuits in classic black and white, a stylish mohair cardigan adorned with “October’s Very Own” branding, and an oversized dark plaid shirt. The collection debuted at the Nepenthes Tokyo store, signaling another successful venture for Drake into the world of fashion.
Drake’s affinity for Japanese design was evident during the opening night of his joint tour with J. Cole, where he sported a striking outfit created by Japanese artist Shimoda Masakatsu. The attention-grabbing ensemble, resembling a dinosaur spine, captivated fans and showcased Drake’s penchant for innovative fashion choices.
As Drake continues to break records and push boundaries both musically and sartorially, fans eagerly anticipate what’s next from the multi-talented artist.
