OVO Sound boss Drake has Diddy and Eminem smelling defeat. The 6 God’s “In My Feelings” anthem has now put him ahead of the music icons on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
According to reports, Drizzy now has six chart-topping Billboard bangers to his name.
With Drake tallying his sixth No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated July 21), as “In My Feelings” leaps 6-1 in its second charting frame, the 6 God makes hip-hop history befitting his nickname. With his sixth leader, Drake passes Diddy, Eminem and Ludacris for the most No. 1s in the Hot 100’s history among rappers. (Billboard)

This past weekend, Drake’s “Fire In The Booth” freestyle video went viral.
In a recent interview, Cash Money boss Birdman called Drake the most consistent protégé on his roster.
“He got so many songs. He a workaholic,” said the YMCMB boss. “Drake kept this shit alive for the last four-five years consistently. Nicki do her thing also, but he’s been the most consistent Young Money/Cash Money artist.” Birdman went on to say that Drake manifested this type of success with hard work. “He talked about this sh*t and turned it into reality,” he added. “He never lived life like he’s living it. He comes from the trap, from the slums, and he ain’t ever had a sweet life. Now, he’s making a hell of a life for himself. I have to say that he’s on a high horse to be living life like this.” (Rap-Up)
