In 2024, Drake experienced ups and downs, yet he remained the best-selling rapper with 8 million sales. This achievement marks the tenth consecutive year he has held this title. Chart Data announced this record on January 5. Drake released several tracks this year, including diss songs like "Family Matters," part of his 100gb series, and collaborations with artists such as Sexyy Red, Gordo, 4Batz, and Camila Cabello. Fans eagerly anticipated his joint album with PartyNextDoor, which was expected to drop last November. Reactions flooded social media, with many noting the rivalry with Kendrick Lamar. One user highlighted that despite Kendrick having a strong year, he still couldn't match Drake's sales. Another user commented on a rising artist named Big Me, who seemed absent from the charts. Some predict Drake's success will continue. One user expressed excitement for Drake's potential solo album, suggesting it would achieve remarkable sales. On Friday, Drake released a new freestyle titled "Fighting Irish," produced by Conductor Williams. In the track, he expresses disappointment in NBA star LeBron James during the ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, rapping about the mixed reactions from his circle. Fans quickly pointed out the references to James and Demar DeRozan, who appeared in Kendrick's "Not Like Us" video. Universal Music Group has since removed the freestyle from platforms. Drake hinted at more collaborations with Conductor Williams. His Anita Max Win Tour is set to start in February.
