OVO Sound leader Drake is feeling himself these days and showed off why you might see him cruising through your neighborhood like Batman this week.
Drake showed off a Batman-like car on Instagram last night (May 24) and even referenced The Dark Knight actor Christian Bale.
Aside from flashing whips, Drake’s new Views solo album has hit over 500 million streams.
In its latest week, “Views” had only 83,000 sales, but songs from it racked up 186 million streams, according to Nielsen. Since the album came out, the songs have been streamed 572 million times in the United States; in each of the three weeks that “Views” has been out, it has had higher streaming numbers than any album has ever had.

Recently, Cash Money boss Birdman discussed Drake’s chart-topping album and his growth in the music biz.
“You know I’m listening to the Drake album [Views]. A lot of our music. I also like that 50 Cent record , “I’m the Man.” I play that a lot, that’s one of my favorites,” Birdman said in an interview. “Just watching [Drake] grow that has been exciting, from day one till now and with his whole career. On the music side, just watching him grow. That was one thing we always talked about. We got to see how it goes, but to see the growth, it seemed like magic, the way it has happened. It’s happened right in front of your eyes. I’m just blessed to be a part of it.” (RESPECT)
The music veteran also recently placed Drake’s studio album atop all of its competition this year.
“I think Drake got the album of the year. In 3 hours, he did like 400,000,” Baby said. “He’s something special. Hip-hop has to keep going. We need this.” (Hot 97)
