Drake has reached a new milestone as he becomes the first artist to achieve 100 billion streams on Spotify.

Recently, Drake has been facing some setbacks in his competition with Kendrick Lamar. However, he has also achieved a major milestone as the first recording artist to reach 100 billion streams on Spotify. This exciting news was shared by chart data on their X account last month. The tweet, which included a screenshot of Drake's Spotify profile, proudly announced his achievement.

It seems like this record will stay with Drake for a while, as HipHopDX reported that the closest artist to reaching this feat is Taylor Swift, who currently has approximately 85 billion streams. It's safe to say that Drake's streaming numbers are in a league of their own.

But, as the saying goes, good news comes with bad news. The infamous "Drake Curse" has struck again. After placing a $300,000 bet on his home team, Canada, against Argentina in the Copa America semifinal, Drake faced a similar fate as his battle with Lamar. Canada lost 2-0, and to make matters worse, the team's official Instagram account posted a photo of the players celebrating with the caption, "Not like us, not with us." This was a clear nod to Lamar's diss track, "Not Like Us," adding insult to injury for Drake.

This is not the first time the "Drake Curse" has been mentioned. In May, Drake reportedly lost $565,000 betting on a boxing match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Fury lost in a split-decision ruling, giving Usyk the victory. This is just one of the many instances where Drake's support or bets have allegedly brought bad luck to the athletes or teams he supports.

Some of the past victims of the "Drake Curse" include tennis legend Serena Williams, boxer Anthony Joshua, the Toronto Raptors, MMA fighter Conor McGregor, and various sports teams such as the Kentucky Wildcats, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Golden State Warriors. The curse has become so well-known that people now refer to Drake's betting habits as the "Drake Curse."

In 2022, Drake lost $400,000 when he bet on Jake Paul to win by knockout against Tommy Fury. Unfortunately, Paul lost the match in a split decision. He also lost $1 million when he bet on Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Although the team did ultimately win, the game was decided by penalty kicks, causing Drake to lose his bet.

Despite these losses, it's undeniable that Drake's streaming numbers on Spotify are unmatched. He currently holds the record for the most streams ever by a recording artist, solidifying his place in music history. So, while the "Drake Curse" may continue to haunt him in sports, his success in the music industry remains unmatched.
