Hes been the most streamed artist every month for like 2 years running lol.

Not talking to you specifically @MrBeef cause I know you're being objective but this idea that he's fighting for fans/respect/listenership only exists in the minds of people that won't fuck with him regardless. Niggas been saying this since 2010. It's 2025. The run is the run. Niggas need to get over it. If this next album flops (it won't) so what? He already beat the game. He just playing it again for platinum trophies at this point.

Serious question

Remember I have no dog in the fight but with all the confirmations about streaming bots, what percentage would you assign to those monthly listeners as genuine

For the record I don’t like Drake but I don’t care for any of this as much as Drake haters do (used to be a heavy hater) but now I just don’t care and feel indifferent to most stuff regarding him

But I can still be objective (which is hard for niggas here and they don’t admit it lol)

Drakes team says they don't bot or do payola. So let's say umg is doing the botting why would they pay someone $400 million if they were botting his streams to lift him up?

Good question

But they (UMG) acknowledged they did it for both him and Kendrick. I will also assume this is a common business practice with their b tier artists as well

All I'm saying is, if they did it for everyone else, why is Drake the only one that wouldn't benefit from it as well.

Drake or his team also kinda has to say they don't do bots cause they it lends to them saying his fanbase is organic and are real.

This entire thing has just been really interesting from a sideline perspective.

I'ma give the project an honest listen though so it really doesn't matter to me

You gotta stop this b

In addition to being a mod, I'm also a full time dad that does shit with his kid on the weekends

At either rate, I could've sworn this all came out at the height of the lawsuit. If I'm misremembering, then I stand corrected.

I'm not above changing positions once new information has been presented

You didn't have to write all this to say you don't know what you're talking about. Enjoy your day.

I respect it. I'm actually a big Drake fan but as y'all know, I am very objective as well. Don't know why niggas just don't like calling it what it is for artists they like or don't like. Good and/or bad.
