Drake is fuming after his latest single, “What Did I Miss,” debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, igniting accusations of music suppression. Despite topping charts on platforms like iTunes and dominating streaming services, the Canadian rapper finds himself overshadowed by Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which took the coveted number one spot. In an explosive Instagram post, Drake expressed his frustration, hinting at foul play and vowing to reclaim the top position: “Suppressor on the number one spot. I’m taking that soon, fam.”
The stakes are high for Drake, who is tied with the legendary Michael Jackson for the most number one hits by a solo male artist. His latest release, part of the upcoming album “Iceman,” has stirred a whirlwind of speculation among fans and critics alike. The glaring discrepancy in radio play—just 2% for Drake compared to 40% for Warren—has raised eyebrows, with the rapper’s camp suspecting a concerted effort to undermine his success.
Drake’s right-hand man, Maul, echoed the disbelief on Twitter, questioning the integrity of the charts. With Billboard projections suggesting a further drop to number 12 next week, the pressure is mounting. This unexpected setback has ignited a fire in Drake, who is now more determined than ever to prove his critics wrong.
As he gears up for another release this Friday with Central C, the music world is watching closely. Will Drake’s relentless pursuit of the number one spot lead to a comeback, or is this a sign of deeper issues in the industry? One thing is clear: the battle for the charts is heating up, and Drake is not backing down.
