Arguably the “Beyonce” of Hip Hop & R&B’s male division, Drake continues to cast a shadow over his rivals as he hovers over Pop seas with his new album ‘VIEWS.’

How he continues to spell trouble for Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Bruno Mars and company?

‘Summer Sixteen.’

 

The opening night of his latest tour, ‘Summer Sixteen‘, was delivered to Austin’s Frank Erwin Centre.

There, he filled each and every seat with ‘Hotline Bling‘ blasting fans.

How many seats exactly?

11,318.

How many dollars the filling of these seats placed in the tactical rapper’s deep pockets?

$1,470,583.

The tour was wraps at the Prudential Centre in Newark on October 16th.

    Rihanna is shook.

    • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

      KIIII

    • LISA LEVINE August 8, 2016

      WITH A SHOW THAT IS NOT LIVE. HE IS LIP SINGING 85% OF THE SHOW TO A PRE-RECORDED TRACK.

      HE IS THE MALE BRITNEY SPEARS

    • Girl August 8, 2016

      Ain’t that her man more than likely that money going to her ?? and further more who cares Rihanna, Beyoncé and drake are all doing well and they’re all black so we should be happy at the black excellence instead of pitting them against each other. Rihanna is slaying the chart, Beyoncé is slaying her tour, and drake is slaying both. And let’s not forget Beyoncé got an few years ahead of Rihanna so to compare them is unfair. Anyways congrats to them all.

  2. BGKC Formerly Known As RihNavy August 8, 2016

    LOL @ “IStan4Rihanna” comment being held. But kiiii

    • Wash yo mouth pls August 8, 2016

      Hey gurl so when you going to tell us how you managed to get Frank Ocean’s album which was not released?

      • Mark111 /.\ August 8, 2016

        Wait, what? Did she jump off the deep end again?

  3. Mark111 August 8, 2016

    Rihanna’s impact! #QueenShit

    • Nahh August 8, 2016

      Rihanna impact ? Lmaoooooooooooo some of rihs us arena dates weren’t even selling and the capacity was 14k how is that her impact NO SHADE

  4. Mark111 August 8, 2016

    Still dead @ lime juice being out of the top 10 already. Whilst Anti remains perched & never left. Giselle better cling to that tour like the label s**** she is!

    • Nahh August 8, 2016

      I see you changed your name @centurion still talking to yourself tho lmaooo you want bey to be a label s**** so bad ? Had she really been a s**** Columbia would have her ass promoting but it fell out the streaming category for not being on Spotify or Apple Music. We know the other girls need it *cough* throw yo shade

    • Kris August 8, 2016

      Oh hush! Everyone knows these albums are surviving off the strength of streams. Lemonade has made its impact. When will you all understand that charts are not for legends. That is a number game amongst younger artists to measure their relevancy. Beyonce’s album can debut at #5 and she’ll always be BEYONCE. It’s no taking that away from her. It’s imprinted. Drake and Rihanna has to plan their next move for the next 10 years to see if they’ll still be relevant and to be honest, I give them both 5 more years at the most.

      • obsidian August 8, 2016

        You betta preach Kris!!

  5. Keri Qween August 8, 2016

    Slay King. I can’t wait until our wedding day ??

    • Mark111 August 8, 2016

      lmao. Leave Drake alone. He belongs to Queen Rih! The new industry power couple#Aubrih

    • Keri Qween August 8, 2016

      Lol i love Rih she’ll get an invitation

      Jk?

  6. Theman August 8, 2016

    Drake has nothing to do with Bruno Mars. Bruno is elite & makes way different music from Drake.

    • Stylequeen August 9, 2016

      Ain’t that the truth I like drake but him and Bruno mars don’t even compare Bruno mars is a amazing performer and can sing like no other he has 6 number one singles with just 2 albums already it took drake 7 years to finally achieve a number song and mainstream popularity were as bruno mars has always been at the top and even bruno mars has attained his first 5 number one’s faster than any male artist since Elvis Presley .

  7. HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

    DEATH!! Do Drake can sell out an 11k arena and gross $1m in a night. Meanwhile fFih struggled yo fill an 11k arena and get passed $700k for weeks with Arena’s of 14k LMFAOOOOOO!!!!!

    • BGKC Formerly Known As RihNavy August 8, 2016

      LOL THROW THAT SHADE SIS!

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        While you’r’ busy throwing save some arm strength to throw lemonade and its singles back in the top 10 and 20 of the BBhot 100 and BB200 respectively.

        God know’s that it’s gonna be like throwing javelin.

  8. FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

    WHAT a FLOP. WHAT a Struggle

    What is funny is that Beyonce is the KANG and Drake Doing her Tour Numbers and Beating the f*** out of her Album Sales and Slaying the singles charts.

    WHY is sugar water out of you know the top five, the top ten. Why is your fave flopping.

    Why is the king being overshadowed by a Drake a lessor.

    No #1 on the Hot100, No Longevity in the BB200 what is BEYWANCE doing.

    What kinda king. The only thing popping is the b****’s tour way to save face h**. In the absence foe the formation tour you know your era has effectively been a waste.

    Where is the impact of lemonade?

    • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 August 8, 2016

      Sugar water maybe out the top 10…. However she still has sold more copies than ANTi in pure sales 2 million without paid plaques and Samsung. Formation Tour is sitting on a planet light years ahead of anything Rihanna will be catching up to. You failed again though!

      Views>>>>> Anti
      Lemonade>>>> Anti
      Summer 16 Tour>>> Empti Tour
      Formation Tour>>>> The Industry

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        B**** what is the point of having sold more copies if your album is going under quicker than Rita at a business meeting.

        Girl Bye.
        Drake and Rihanna f***** up your fave’s era and you will deal. be pressed. be fuming.
        Rihanna has a 9 weeks #1, one of two multi platinum single of 2016. currently has two songs in the top 10. Three top 10 songs in her flop era and wait for it. Her album has not left the top 10 since it got there over six months ago.

        Lemonwater has only been there 14 weeks and already its slipping. What kinda slay…. come threw FOSSIL.

    • Keri Qween August 8, 2016

      These delusional uglies fresh navi

      They act like Beyonce was selling out all her shows when she was rihannas age

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        She was’t fossil wishes.

    • therealist2016 August 8, 2016

      stop with the lies already. Bey may not have a number 1 single but she is def beating drake in pure sales and is grossing more as well on her tour, She grosses about 5 million per show and stop with the madness already and have a f****** seat!!! lmao. And if you need some receipts, I’ll provide those as well, or better yet you can google, but make sure its a scholarly source. LMaO

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        5 million per show and you think i’m the crazy one. GURL go fact check.

    • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

      LMFAOOOO TUE STRUGGLE YO FILL AN ARENA BAWAHAHAHAHAHAH

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        THE TRUE STRUGGLE IS TO STAY ON THE CHARTS ask your fave BEYAWNCE.

    • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

      The melt down LMFAO!!!
      .
      Rihanna has 14 #1s and has had a #1 Album this era yet couldn’t sell out 11k arenas THATS A STRUGGLE!
      .
      Also where is Drakeiesha coming for Bey’s tourig numbers? In what world is $1.4m compared to $5.7m? Navy logic is dumb as hell!
      .
      Lemonade has had more impact ww than fRihanna and Drakes album’s combined! Thats why its the best selling 2016 release and sparked conversations WORLDWIDE!

      • Fresh Navi August 8, 2016

        Lollll. The delusion. Anyways its monday time to go check how far bey gas TUNBLED FUNBLED AND FELL down the charts.

  9. BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 August 8, 2016

    Maybe Drake can loan Rihanna some financial aid, similar to how Samsung had to pass around a collection plate for her lol!

    • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

      are forgetting that my fave made more money than your washed dup FOSSIL h** on her days off last year. GURL you TRIED IT. I would love to get a 25 MILLION DOLLAR DEAL to release a FLOP ALBUM.

      • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 August 8, 2016

        Well atleast you know your favs album is a flop.

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        If Anti is a flop, having released two 10 ten singles and one being multi platinum and is STILL top 10

        Beyonce has 0 top 10’s and you know her album is skydiving down them charts. What is Sugarwater sis.

        like damn and if we’re gonna talk about pure sales of 1.2 you can keep it because a king, an “ALBUM MONSTER” like Bey should be doingAdele numbers and at the very least T-Swift numbers but oh wait, she cant.

  10. FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

    Fact is the DWT grossed 137 million. The Anti Tour is already outgrossing the DWT numbers as it is, which means that the ANTI Tour will be grossing upwards of 150 million. I thought her tour was a flop?

    Note Prior to the Mrs. Carter World Tour The I Am Sasha.. only did 119 million dollars.. when Rihanna’s Loud Tour did 90 Million.

    Beyonce has only now become a Touring Force many years later.

    Badgyal Rih RIh has time to be washed and get em coins like your fave. Fret not.

    The Mrs. Carter World Tour was beyonce’s first big stint and the Formation Tour looks to follow suit. She only has two massive tours Lady Gaga has outgrossed all her tours with the Fame Monster Tour. Be prssed hood hive your fave isnt Queen of anything.

    At least we can say Rihanna is the Queen of the Digital Era, Streams and the Hot 100.

    Adele and Taylor share the crown for album sales.

    And for the Tour… There is only one Queen and its MADONNA and if we’re giving it to a new girl GAGA had yawnce snatched with one stint.

    • Keri Qween August 8, 2016

      CClock these delusional f****
      f**** fresh navi

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        Ain’t no games in this bih’

        The hive needs to know theirselves.

      • Danzou August 8, 2016

        @keri your fave isn’t pulling numbers like this at all whatsoever so you can exit the thread.

  11. Wash yo mouth pls August 8, 2016

    When will Lil Wayne?

    • Weezy Tha Goat/ Zayn is ? August 8, 2016

      He did it twice.

  12. Wash yo mouth pls August 8, 2016

    Kanye would never

    • Danzou August 8, 2016

      But kanye HAS h**

  13. FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

    Let also point out that Rihanna’s collaboration with Stance, Puma and Manolo have been $OLD OWT.

    Lets talk about the fact that Rihanna got 25 million from a Samsung Deal and Gaga spent that promoting ARTPOP.

    Lets talk about the fact that while Rihanna was on break for three years, She made more money than your fave last year, when a b**** was on Break.

    What exactly is Beyonce winning Rihanna at. She could keep tat 1.2 million in album sales. my b**** still icy and it ain’t snowing yet.

  14. Danzou August 8, 2016

    Franks album is FIE

  15. Danzou August 8, 2016

    Drake filled 11 thousand seats yet keri can’t even get 11 thousand views on her instagram snippets

  16. Grande The Way August 8, 2016

    “How he continues to spell trouble for Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Bruno Mars and company?” – LOL! Drake, Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, and Bruno Mars are 4 very different artists. Drake is a rapper, Bruno makes pop music. Plus Bryson only has one album out. That comparison was just random lol. But congrats to Drake, this is really his year!

  17. Rosie August 8, 2016

    $1 million from just 11K is great but not surprising considering how expensive his tickets were.
    Frih is shook though.

    • Fresh Navi August 8, 2016

      So shook she made more than jay bey and drake on her year off. Now that she has ALL these endorsments cant wait to see how SHOOK her accounts will be when all that doe comes to the bank bih

      • Rosie August 8, 2016

        I’m more shook at your grammar than anything tbh.

      • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

        LMFAOOOO!!! You keep talking about delusions but the only delusional one here is you.
        .
        Im going to need receipts of where CHEATANNA made more than Bey and Jay during her year off? Because during 2014-2015 tracking year she was at the bottom with $27m. Beyoncé made $54m in that time during her year off. Just like she did again this year. Rihanna has had NUMEROUS deals with Puma, Samsung, Dior etc etc between 2015-2016. Not to mention she did 40 shows and released an album month’s before Forbes tracking year ended. You know the year she made $75m LOLOLOL!!! All them deals and the bish still can’t gross $100m in ONE YEAR! But i guess she’s the bigger brand ?☕. Get your facts together sis because this is too easy! You need MARSHA and WRECKEDBUTTHOLES HELP SO BAD!

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        That paragraph that i just will not read 🙂 @trolsie thought you were dead. Low Key thought i was a featured guest on the walking dead when i saw your comment.

      • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

        Oh you read it and realized you were clocked 12x over, so now you’re playing possum ???!!

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        @FaGHie i genuinely didn’t read it.

        Just like i genuinely have NOT seen your fave in the top 10 of any charts last week :(.

        Is she playing hide and go seek. or she doing like one her very one musical numbers and just thinks it best to ‘Disappear’.

      • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

        Honey, learn to construct a proper sentence. I got a headache just trying to comprehend that mess!

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        Apologies, it was really a badly worded response. I’m more so sorry because i know reading and comprehending aren’t essentially things that members of the hive excel at.

      • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

        No that’s something the Slavi prove time and time again to be right about themselves. Also DIZZZAYUMMNNN BIH, It took your ass like 10mins to put that sentence together ?! Come harder Marsha and stop hiding under your Drag Queen stage name! The jig is up! We didn’t forget about Luhkas!

    • LB August 8, 2016

      The irony when Lana cannot even release her tour gross numbers.

    1 million per show!??? Dayum! Rhianna could never

    • Fresh Navi August 8, 2016

      But she has. Try shading with facks Hoee

      • Reply At Your Own Risk. Leave the DumbFuckery At Door ~tyler August 8, 2016

        Why is the AUNTI tour flopping so hard ?

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        I think you’re not familiar with what the term flop means. it really means to underperform like what beyonce has been doing on the charts in the last three months. By the way do me one better, is she even on the charts this week?

      • Reply At Your Own Risk. Leave the DumbFuckery At Door ~tyler August 8, 2016

        No, a flip would be AUNTI’s worldwide numbers or Rhianna’s ticket sales.

      • Reply At Your Own Risk. Leave the DumbFuckery At Door ~tyler August 8, 2016

        *flop

  19. Mark August 8, 2016

    This Drake post is nothing but a ploy.Grape is using Drake’s tour to distract from that contaminated water mess. Post about your girl falling out of the BB 200 chart.

    • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

      Damn how many accounts do you have? Hop back on that Fresh Slavi account so i can continue to CLOCK your evaporated TEA ?!

      • FRESH NAVI August 8, 2016

        b**** that snot me and in this post please indicate to me the ONE instance where you’ve clocked me. Please go DRAG your fave’s album back on the charts. Where is it this week? is it on the charts? The people wanna know.

  20. LB August 8, 2016

    Drake is slaying,

    -> Able to get a hit
    -> Able to gross major on tour
    -> Able to still have his album in the top 10 months after release
    -> Does not front load his sales
    -> Does not rely on hairography, recycled and repeated routines to put on a good show

    Slay a little AubRih

    • HailLegendBeysus August 8, 2016

      But fRih still recycles her püssy patting dance routine and is the epitome of Front loaded sales. Did 100k in a week yet the album has only sold 500k to date ?! Not to mention Le Struggle to fill an Arena and Keep a Stadium Booked! ????

  21. Diamond Princess August 8, 2016
