Drake Sets Record For Highest Paid Single Arena Rap Concert

The 6 God’s “Its’ All A Blur” tour has set new records, and one of the concert dates brought in a payout for Drake that changed rap history.

Drake occupied the Capitol One Arena for a two-night visit in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. Drizzy is now the first hip hop artist in American history to make $5 million at a single arena show, according to Chart Data.

The “God’s Plan” spitter earned $5.032 million from his performance(s) in Washington, D.C., approximately. The performance brought in more money than any other Drake performance to date.

In the course of his “It’s All A Blur” Tour, Drake has been making his way through the audience toward the stage. When the Young Money legend arrived in Philadelphia, Meek Mill led him to the stage.

As soon as he hit the stage, Drake talked about his relationship with Meek and how it once became heated for him while he was in Philadelphia.

“We weren’t getting along at the time and he’s a real nig*a so he definitely got us up out of Philly real quick! We didn’t stick around and chill.

“It means the most to me that I could come back to this city and I could show the growth as two men that we come together and represent for motherf*cking Philadelphia together.”
