Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake just added another unbeatable record to his arsenal, becoming the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 120 billion streams, putting him well ahead of his closest rivals like Travis Scott and The Weeknd. HotNewHipHop notes that with months left in 2025, he has racked up more than 13 billion streams so far, making this his biggest year ever on the platform. These streaming numbers continue to reinforce his standing as hip-hop’s most dominant artist. At the finale of his massively successful “$$$U” tour with PartyNextDoor, wrapping up in Hamburg, Germany, Drake called it “the greatest tour I’ve ever been on in my life” and thanked fans with undeniable gratitude. Footage from Kurrco captures the confetti-filled celebrations with his crew. Speculation on social media is swirling even further: Drake liked an Instagram comment hinting that his upcoming ninth studio album, “ICEMAN,” is arriving soon.
As for studio work, fans already have a taste of what’s coming thanks to singles like “Which One” featuring Central Cee, “Dog House” with Julia Wolf and Yeat, and “What Did I Miss?”—a track that doesn’t shy away from referencing his highly publicized rift with Kendrick Lamar. On social platforms, Drake teased a new chapter with a cryptic Instagram post: “I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity”—fueling fan theories about his next moves and keeping everyone on edge, according to AOL.
Drake is also staying active behind the scenes. World Music Views announces that he's bringing dancehall legend Vybz Kartel to Toronto for the first time ever on October 26 and 27, a cultural moment that only strengthens his reputation for bridging music communities. Kartel, fresh off supporting Drake during Wireless Festival in London, publicly picked Drake over Kendrick during a recent Drink Champs interview, calling him “like the Hip-Hop Michael Jackson” thanks to his support for Caribbean artists.
Businesswise, ImpactWealth.Org estimates Drake’s net worth at $300 million for 2025, citing music sales, touring, endorsements, OVO Sound, OVO Clothing with major Nike collaborations, Virginia Black Whiskey, and his luxury real estate portfolio—including his $100 million Toronto mansion, “The Embassy,” and his $185 million private jet, Air Drake. Philanthropically, he stays visible as a global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors and through frequent donations, from community centers to COVID relief funds.
On the loyalty front, Rap-Up reports Drake texted Young Thug after his jail calls leaked—“drop that music, bro. Let your music talk”—showing solidarity and cementing his image as a friend through turbulent times. All told, whether it’s record-breaking streams, blockbuster tours, mysterious social media hints, business expansion, or public gestures of loyalty, Drake’s ongoing run continues to redefine what it means to be a global superstar in 2025, and every move is likely to leave a mark on music’s future.
