Songs Streams & Revenue

It’s a new week and a new song revenue chart. As reported by Hits Daily Double, which tracks streaming revenue week over week, the above chart reflects the streaming period from April 4 to April 10.

He might not have been able to pull it off on Billboard this week, but Drake’s “NOKIA” took the top spot in song revenue. BigXThaPlug’s recent country moves with Bailey Zimmerman are also paying off with the duo following right behind the Toronto native. Meanwhile, “luther,” “Not Like Us,” and “tv off” are still getting replays, especially with K. Dot and SZA’s tour officially kicking off.

This GNX Collaborator Just Came for Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar’s surprise drop GNX last November was peak K. Dot — no promo, no rollout, just vibes and violence. The project had all the right ingredients: features from TDE favorites like SZA and production from heavy hitters like Mustard (who’s had his tag shouted out every night on tour like it’s part of the hook). 

After months of standing ten toes down for the West Coast, it was only right that Kendrick tapped some lesser-known LA artists for the features. Rappers like Lefty Gunplay, AzChike, and Hitta J3 all got a coveted spot on K. Dot’s GNX. Alongside them was Dody6, who popped up and showed out on the track “hey now.” 

Fast forward to April, and Dody6 has now entered his post-feature existential crisis era.

Dody6 wants all the smoke

On April 21, the rapper took to Instagram to share a raw, unfiltered update on his life post-Kendrick. Spoiler alert: things aren’t going great.

“N**** I lost my house. I’m homeless. On Crip, I admit that shit… I fell down. I’ma bounce back up though, watch this. It’s all good, cuh,” he said. 

He then responded to those thinking that he should be doing better since his feature on Kendrick’s project. 

“N**** that fucking song with Kendrick ain’t change shit. What the fuck does that change n****? I’m still from 40s. I’m still over here. You act like a n**** got a million dollars for that shit. The fuck? Only thing a n**** got is some clout and fuck clout,” he proclaimed. 

Because this saga wasn’t already chaotic enough, No Jumper’s Adam22 jumped in with receipts — posting a screenshot of Dody6 messaging him his unfiltered thoughts about Kendrick. 

When Adam22 said that he and his team were busy and to let them know what to say, the rapper said “Bro post I’m on meth. Idgaf. Post Dody is on meth and say k dot is a bitch ain’t tapping in.” Somebody please log him out of his accounts. 

Kendrick hasn’t said a word, which, to be fair, would be out of character for him to address. He’s been too busy performing to sold-out crowds and being the new brand ambassador of Chanel. Social media has had plenty to say to the rapper on K. Dot’s behalf, though. 

In conclusion? A Kendrick feature might get you some clout and give your mom something to brag about on Facebook, but it won’t stop you from wildin’ out on IG Live.  Right now, Dody6’s biggest enemy isn’t Kendrick. It’s the “Post” button.

Wiz Khalifa Says He’s a Flat Earther — And Reveals His Feature Price

Wiz Khalifa’s been on a mission ever since 2025 began — and it's not just to stay high (that’s a given). He’s dropped freestyles like he’s got a SoundCloud quota to hit, rapping over popular beats from Ice Spice to Kendrick Lamar. 

Those freestyles were just the warm-up though. After fifteen years of waiting, he finally gave fans a sequel to his debut classic mixtape Kush & Orange Juice with features from Larry June, Gunna, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. Somewhere between promo runs and passing blunts on private jets, Khalifa also found time to share his latest worldview… literally. The only thing he thinks is rolling is Mary Jane, but not Mother Earth. 

Geography, the Khalifa way

In a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast (apparently the safe space for unfiltered rapper thoughts), Khalifa revealed his hot take: The Earth is flat.

He backed up his “flat Earth” theory with all of the traveling he has done so far in his career, stating that “the routes that we take and how we do it, it’s not possible to go up and down. You’re just going straight…” 

There you have it. Centuries of science debunked by one rapper with lots of frequent flyer miles.

It gets better. Khalifa also dropped a bonus theory: “There’s more masses than just what we see.” Suggesting there are parts of planet Earth that remain undiscovered. 

Not content with stopping at flat Earth, Khalifa doubled down and said he doesn’t “believe in space exploration at all. I don’t believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do.” NASA, you might want to hop in the comments.

He might have to blame these opinions on all the green he smokes because no one else is buying these hot takes.

While everyone’s busy debating if Khalifa is smarter than a 5th grader, he also revealed his feature price: an eye-popping $250,000. That’s just the feature. Don’t expect him to show up in your music video unless you’re ready to cough up a little more green (not the kind he rolls).

Want the full Wiz Khalifa show experience? That’ll run you up to $2 million cash. After all, hearing “Black and Yellow” live is apparently a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

“…That’s because I have worldwide songs. I got stuff that people sing in China or Brazil or New Zealand and Thailand and Germany [and] Norway, and stuff like Korea. I’m talking Saudi Arabia. You know what I’m saying?,” he said. 

While some people think there is a strategy behind the pricing, others believe that Khalifa has the “superstar status” to charge a big bag for his bars. Whether he’s flipping conspiracy theories or dropping freestyles from a smoke cloud, one thing’s guaranteed: Khalifa is gonna say what’s on his mind — even if it sounds like he got it from a YouTube video at 4 a.m.
