Just two months after it was announced that he was very close to reaching the milestone of 97 billiоn streams, the significant achievement took place on Tuesday, June 18. The story was first reported by Chart Data and later verified by KWORB, a platform-specific stream and ranking tracking system.
At No. 2, Taylor Swift is the person who is closest to the Toronto native, but he still has a significant advantage because she has 84.4 billiоn streams as of right now.
In other news, Pharrell appears to have jumped on the bandwagon of musicians criticizing Drake, reportedly making references to the Six God in the new song “Double Life.”
The soundtrack for Despicable Me 4 is scheduled to release on July 3 and will include the song.
He raps on it, saying, “Hey, what are you hiding?/Lie detector time.” Being private is perfectly OK as long as it’s not improper.
The bars were immediately noticed by fans, who tweeted about the song, stating, “Drake about to stop Adonis from ever watching Despicable Me.”
“Not he turned his minions song to a diss [crying emoji],” another person said.
Some others quickly put an end to the rumors.
“I believe these lyrics are about Gru, not Drake [skull emoji],” one person commented. “Pharrell is doing anything to stay relevant after falling off over ten years ago [crying emoji],” another person added.
Drake is also facing legal action for utilizing a term that coincidentally is the nаme of a well-known clothing line on his goods.
Billboard revealed on Tuesday, June 12, that Drizzy’s Away From Home Touring Inc. was the target of a lawsuit brought by apparel firm Members Only in a federal court in New York for trademark infringement.
The issue concerns the Canadian celebrity who is selling items marked “Members Only” both online and during his It’s All a Blur Tour. Considering that the aforementioned phrase is also the title of a song that was released on For All The Dogs last year, it is significant to note that he is not being accused of trafficking counterfeit products.
Up until that point, the brand’s current owners, JR Apparel World LLC, have maintained that neither the likelihood of cоnfusiоn nor the license to use our client’s “Members Only” marks in such a confusing manner, particularly on or in connection with apparel items, is eliminated by the fact that “Members Only” is a song on Drake’s album “For All the Dogs.”
The context of the phrase’s usage is crucial in light of US trademark law.
The Six God’s choice to release a song called “Members Only” doesn’t generate cоnfusiоn with the same-named firm, but selling goods bearing those words would, as they’ve been in business for decades.
Because of this, Members Only has asserted that Drake’s products are abusing and distorting its standing as a “famous household nаme.”
The 37-year-old artist and rapper is still silent on the experience.
