Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar has officially crossed 50 billion total streams across all credits on Spotify, becoming only the fifth rapper in history to achieve the milestone.

The Pulitzer Prize–winning artist now joins an elite list of rappers to surpass the streaming benchmark, cementing his status as one of the most influential figures in hip hop. Alongside the achievement, Lamar now has 11 songs with over one billion streams each, including fan favorites such as HUMBLE., Money Trees, and his Black Panther collaboration All the Stars with SZA.

This latest milestone reflects Lamar’s enduring impact, with his catalog spanning more than a decade of critically acclaimed music — from good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly to his most recent album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
