The Kendrick Lamar-Drake debate has gone long enough for fans and big-impact personas to remain just bystanders and not participate. Yet, numbers speak louder than opinions, and this time, statistics may have put an end to the debate once and for all. While many have made peace with the verdict that K-Dot took down the Canadian with his verbal fireworks, an existing report says otherwise, readying the crown for Drake instead.

This development not only positions Drake as the current leader in the rap game but also overturns the opinions of numerous respected artists who previously thought of him as the underdog.

Hip-hop icons Too Short and Fivio Foreign may have leaned towards Kendrick Lamar in the debate over the greatest artist in rap history. However, Drake's artistry has ultimately prevailed, defying every judgment for a specific reason. Among the six hip-hop albums that have surpassed 100 million streams in a day, Drake's 'Certified Lover Boy' (2021), 'Scorpion' (2018), and 'For All the Dogs' (2023) have cornered Lamar’s ‘Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers’ by claiming the top positions. 

Drake's 'Certified Lover Boy' leads the pack with a record-setting 153 million streams, followed closely by his fifth studio album 'Scorpion' with 132 million streams. Travis Scott's 'UTOPIA' takes the third position with 129 million streams, followed by Drake again for his album 'For All the Dogs' at 109 million streams. In the fifth spot is Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, with his acclaimed album 'Donda' and its 104 million streams, and rounding out the list is Lamar's 'Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers' with 100 million streams.

With four out of the top six albums claimed by the reputed Canadian, the chart has prompted Drake's fans to rally in anticipation of his reclaiming the title of the king of hip-hop.

The mic-drop moments have faded into memory, yet the debate over who rightfully wears the crown still ignites controversy whenever Kendrick Lamar and Drake's fan bases collide. Despite the ongoing debate, Drake's dominance in reports of over a million album streams has reignited fervor within his fan base, serving as a beacon of hope amid prevailing opinions that often favor Lamar as the victor.

For Drake fans, this is not only a moment of celebration but also a resurgence, as the Canadian artist seemed to have momentarily lost his grip on the hip-hop crown. 

With comprehensive figures now available, thus, Drake's supporters wasted no time in rallying behind their favorite artists' classics. The list also served as a nostalgic journey for hip-hop enthusiasts, reminiscing about the days when Drake effortlessly dominated. While some dissenting voices did target Lamar, the majority of fans were caught up in admiration for Drake, reaffirming his status as the king of rap.
