Drake recently reached another milestone on Spotify, continuing his historic streak.
Chart Data tweeted that the Her Loss creator became the first artist to reach 75 billion streams on the platform.
Drake shared his accomplishments on his Instagram Story and suggested that Spotify send artists bonus checks instead of plaques.
“We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” Drake wrote. “So feel free to send me a LeBron sized check [sic],” he wrote before adding, “I have enough dinner plates.”
Do you think artists should get bonuses from streaming services?
