'I'm on one', Drake tells Diddy

It’s only a few years since he debuted on the hip hop scene, and rapper Drake has achieved phenomenal success as a recording artist.

Now, he’s reportedly broken Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs record for the most number 1 rap singles on the Billboard charts.

The Young Money rapper now has 11 No.1 songs to his credit with the latest addition being his Nicki Minaj featured ‘Make me proud‘ song.

According to Billboard, ‘With his 11th No. 1 on Billboard’s Rap Songs chart, Drake rewrites the mark for most leaders in the list’s 23-year history. I.e., when it comes to topping the tally the most, Drake, in less than three years, has become the best the chart ever had‘.

Diddy accumulated ten hits on the charts between 1996 (with the Lil’ Kim-featured ‘No time‘) and 2003 (with ‘Shake ya tail feather,’ featuring Nelly and Murphy Lee).

Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, has two albums to his credit, and three mixtapes which have all been well received; generating some of his career’s biggest hits, including ‘Best I ever had‘, ‘Find your love‘, ‘Over‘, ‘Miss me‘.
