Drake is said to have signed with the streaming service last year for $19 million and the deal includes him promoting Apple Music and exclusivity to his work including streaming of Views. Recall sometime in 2015, Apple and Jay Z’s streaming service, Tidal were at war over Drake after Apple warned Tidal not to stream His performance at a New Orleans charity event which also headlined Tidal’s artiste’ Lil Wayne.

So if the streaming service gave the OVO sound rapper a new deal, then this is fantastic news!
