Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake has been everywhere these past few days and let’s just say, he’s rewriting his own narrative after what most expected would be a downturn post-Kendrick Lamar feud. The headline that’s dominating the industry? Drake just crushed another unprecedented milestone, surpassing 16 billion Spotify streams in 2025 according to Ratings Game Music, making him by far the most-streamed rapper worldwide right now. That’s fifty-one million daily streams, more than double his closest competitor. Every single is charting—especially on the heels of his PARTYNEXTDOOR collaboration and those surprise streaming hits from “Take Care,” which is, somehow, more popular now than ever.
Touring news is white-hot. Drake himself confirmed live on Canadian streamer xQc’s feed that he’s returning to Australia in February for the first time in eight years. The Anita Max Wynn Tour is set for Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast with fans clamoring already; the excitement is wild after weeks of online rumors. The tour kicks off February 9 and will run a full month. Then it’s off to the UK this summer, where he’ll headline all three nights of Wireless Festival in London, plus arena shows in Birmingham and Manchester for his first UK run since 2019. Every VIP ticket is expected to vanish as soon as they go on sale in June.
On stage, Drake has been making bold, theatrical entrances. Just days after Kendrick took home five Grammys, including for their battle track “Not Like Us,” Drake opened his tour in Australia draped in a hoodie riddled with faux bullet holes and a trail of smoke, telling fans “Drizzy Drake is very much alive and that’s all thanks to you.” Social media has been on fire with Instagram posts from the concert, cryptic captions, and a steady stream of teasers for new music.
Business-wise, Drake isn't standing still. While not music-related, the investment world took note when Drake Star (the global investment bank, unrelated to the artist) advised Attentive.ai on a $30.5 million Series B round. This confused some followers online, but it wasn’t Drake the rapper involved, just a coincidental name.
Speculation is mounting about his new solo album, “Iceman.” Drake has all but confirmed it’s dropping before year’s end, backed up by interviews with Complex and teasers to DJ Akademiks. Multiple singles—“What Did I Miss?” “Which One” with Central Cee, and “Dog House”—have already landed, and fans on Instagram and X are tracking every lyric and snippet. According to HotNewHipHop, Drake considers the upcoming album “the finale” and “our best work.”
Through all this, the ongoing fallout from the Kendrick beef continues, but with his father appearing unfazed in recent street interviews and Drake himself more defiant than ever, the attacks almost seem to have fueled him. With 2025 shaping up as perhaps his most biographically pivotal year since breaking into the industry, Drake is anything but quiet—and every move he makes is setting new benchmarks, on and off the record.
