Once again, Drake has exceeded expectations, and achieved another milestone, with his ‘It’s All a Blur Tour’ officially becoming the highest-grossing hip-hop tour in history.

The Canadian rapper, whose career began with humble beginnings, has continually redefined the hip-hop landscape, and has now added this historic feat to his long list of accolades.

Drake’s touring career has been marked by several successes, starting with his Young Money America’s Most Wanted Tour back in 2009, which grossed $42 million after selling 804,000 tickets, according to an Economic Times report.

In 2023, the Grammy-winning artist again launched another tour in the ‘It’s All a Blur Tour’ alongside 21 Savage, and this partnership has gone on to make a huge impact, further solidifying Drake’s place in music history once again.

According to Genius, the sold-out, 80-date tour grossed $320.5 million with 1.3 million tickets sold, attracting more than 3.9 million fans.

A fan account, known as @aubreysattorney, provided a detailed financial breakdown of the tour, and showed the revenue that was generated from each date, the venues, and the number of shows Drake held at every location.

Back in July, the tour set another record when Drake became the first rapper to earn more than $5 million from two back-to-back shows on July 28 and 29 in Washington, D.C.

The ‘It’s All a Blur tour’ featured high-profile artists like 21 Savage, J. Cole, Sexyy Red, and Travis Scott, and their presence also proved key for the many spectators who made sure to prioritize every show Drizzy made.

For many of Drake’s fans, seeing Drake continue to break records is a testament to the quality of his work and they remain delighted knowing the significant impact he has made on the music industry.
