Drake proved unstoppable in the 2024 Rap Wars, weathering the "20-v-1" attacks to solidify his dominance on Spotify, where he remains the top rapper for the 8th consecutive year.
On Wednesday, Spotify Wrapped revealed Drake as the leading Hip Hop artist globally, trailing only Taylor Swift in overall streams. While The Weeknd and Bad Bunny claimed higher spots across all genres, Drake held his ground as the most-streamed rapper on both global and U.S. charts.

This achievement is particularly impressive given his high-profile clashes with Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, and Kanye West—all of whom secured spots among the top 10 most-streamed rappers of 2024.
Despite these rivalries fragmenting audiences, Kendrick managed to dominate Apple Music as its No. 1 artist, fueled by the success of his diss track, *"Not Like Us."* However, Drake’s 2025 is already shaping up to be just as successful, with his Australian tour adding new dates due to overwhelming demand.
