Drake's supremacy in the rap game remains unchallenged as he eclipses Kendrick Lamar, securing the title for the highest-grossing hip-hop tour with his It's All a Blur Tour. Touring Data shows the tour has already raked in an impressive $129.7 million, outshining Kendrick Lamar's Big Steppers Tour.
Choosing arenas over stadiums has proven a strategic masterstroke for the OVO boss. The intimate and energetic atmosphere of these performances has struck a chord with fans, and analysts predict that the total earnings will more than double once the remaining 42 dates are factored in.
In contrast, Kendrick Lamar's Big Steppers Tour, aligned with the release of his highly anticipated fifth album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, concluded in September, amassing $110.9 million from 73 shows and selling 929,000 tickets.
Drake is all set to go for another joint tour with rapper J.Cole in 2024

The tour's final four shows, including one in Long Island just 7.7 miles from Cole's alma mater, St. John's University, will feature Drake without the North Carolina rhymer.
As fans gear up for this epic collaboration, the rapper is set to drop some fresh tracks from his Scary Hours 3 EP pack on Friday, November 17. The anticipation for new music combined with the success of the It's All A Blur Tour solidifies Drake's position at the forefront of the rap scene, proving that he's a trendsetter and a record-breaker.
