Drake’s ‘It’s All a Blur Tour’ Reportedly Makes History As The Highest Grossing Hip-Hop Tour Of All Time — Here’s How Much It Made

Drake is once again proving himself as a dominant force in the music industry.

According to an Instagram post by Genius, the rapper’s “It’s All a Blur Tour” has grossed $320.5 million across 80 shows in North America, making it the highest-grossing Hip-Hop tour of all time. Each of the 80 shows sold out, reached 100% capacity, and totaled 1.3 million tickets sold.

The first leg of the “It’s All A Blur Tour” started on July 5, 2023, in Chicago and wrapped in Toronto on Oct. 7, 2023. The second leg commenced on Feb. 2 in Tampa and ended in Newark on April 4.

Fans enjoyed an unforgettable experience with a setlist of chart-topping hits and a star-studded lineup of guests that included 21 Savage, J. Cole, Sexyy Red, and Travis Scott .

During the tours, Drake made his charitable spirit more evident than ever. The “God’s Plan” rapper repeatedly made headlines for surprising fans with cash gifts, Billboard reported . From gifting $10,000 to a dancer on her first night to surprising a cancer survivor with $100,000 and clearing a fan’s $20,000 student loan debt, his acts of kindness transformed lives and clearly made a significant impact.

Garnering $320.5 million isn’t the tour’s first record-breaking achievement. In July, Drake made headlines by becoming the first rapper to earn over $5 million from his shows on July 28 and July 29 in Washington, D.C. He reportedly earned $5.032 million each night.

According to Ticketmaster, Drake’s first three albums — Thank Me Later (2010), Take Care (2011), and Nothing Was the Same (2013) — were all highly acclaimed, introducing a groundbreaking style that blended memorable R&B hooks and stellar lyricism.

He also broke numerous records with his fourth album, Views (2016), which topped the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks in a row and earned Drake the title of most-streamed artist in Spotify history.

The actor-turned-rapper has five Grammy Awards , 13 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, and, as of 2022, holds the record for the most single sales in RIAA history.
