Drake fans are now closing their Spotify accounts, believe Spotify is blackballing Drake

[Lonj]

if Drake just did what Kendrick did to Drake, in no way shape or form would they have just accepted the L. the paranoia would've been off the scale.

his fans have been rabid and cultish way before this beef. they have eternally been acting high and mighty with Kendrick being such a critically praised artist and a Pulitzer winner their big brag. Drake was lowbrow to them. for Kendrick to lose to Drake, the guy they hated when there wasn't even real beef would've been unfathomable. Especially if they were to lose in a way that the diss song they lost to went on to become Drakes biggest song. they would've eternally blamed the machine, the jews etc and would be just as paranoid as Drake fans right now. they would deny he took the L in every single way possible. there would've always been excuses.

shyt, I just seen on twitter yesterday his fans are still scourging the internet and harassing people in the hope there there is proof of a kid Drake is hiding or that there is somebody out there that Drake had an inappropriate interaction with when they were a minor... and this is after Kendrick won. its very very nasty.

both fanbases are awful in so many ways and have ruined discussing these two for people who just generally like them.

Agree to disagree. I don't see Dot fans being quite as extra, and I definitely don't see the Kendrick equivalent of a Mal, crashing out the way he did if Dot had lost. Especially if Dot committed all the flagrant shyt Drake did post beef like suing.

Im sure Spotify wont see any difference considering the album is flopping, it doesnt represent a lot of users.

You realize this has always been automated by AI right? Whenever a new "big" album releases, the cover art for their playlists update usually to whoever is the first and/or most played song. Just looked real quick at some playlists I follow on Spotify, and there's a picture of Drake or Drake x PND on the covers for Rap Caviar, and RNBX, but not any other ones I follow in the hip-hop or R&B genres (Are & Be has some woman on it).

Scorpion was probably the biggest possible "check every possible box" album releases of the last 10 years, he tried to cross every possible stream/genre.

As of 2024, Spotify has around 640 million monthly active users, with 252 million premium subscribers. On the other hand, Apple Music has approximately 112 million subscribers worldwide.

Add in the fact that Drake fans were conditioned to prefer Apple Music because of the exclusivity deal he had and OVOSound Radio and there's your explanation for the discrepancy in streams.

It's also marketed as an R&B album which immediately limits audience.

Z confirms nothing wrong going on with Drake, mostly Drake trying to push a fake narrative, once again...

Spotify has been promoting his music. Logged on and saw a shyt load of drake playlist and everything. I’m not understanding the problem. What else they want Spotify to do. Say listen to drake or we will cancel your account

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Go buy his physical albums then

 

[Gangstar8]

Spotify is blackballing Drake and shoving Kenny's music down our throats
Despicable behavior

Drake obviously has millions of fans and this is a subsection of 134 of them. But fans/haters are so funny with this wanting extra support from the same people you are trying to destroy.

Drake has a Rico case against Spotify and they want them to treat his collabo album with a small artist like a Taylor Swift album. He was in the front page and is on every major hiphop playlist. They want them to shut down time square too?


It’s like when Nas Stans want Jay-z to treat Dame Dash like his best friend when Dame is trying his best to end Jay

 

[Damnshow]

Drake is the king of lames

 

[STAN JONES]

People take everything too serious nowadays

You gotta be a real loser to be this invested in a rap beef
