Drake responded to the news that he was the first artist in history to accumulate more than 75 billion streams on Spotify with a challenge to the streamer to pay him and other artists the kind of big bonuses athletes get when they excel.

#### “We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” **Drake wrote in an Instagram Stories update,** “feel free to send me a Lebron-sized cheque. I have enough dinner plates.”
