Drake equaled Michael Jackson’s legendary record for male solo artist with the most number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 – and he celebrated with a fighting game.
Drizzy is about to release his latest album, ‘For All the Dogs’, which sees the Canadian rapper team up with fellow artist J. Cole for a track called ‘First Person Shooting’.
The song rose to number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, officially tying Drake with King of Pop Michael Jackson for the male solo artist with the most number-one songs in Billboard Hot 100 history.
This means Drake now boasts a total of 13 songs that have topped the Hot 100 – a record that has not been broken since Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone” was released in 1995. ( Yes, Millennials – you are now old.)
To celebrate, ‘Champagne Papi’ posted a humorously edited photo of MJ on his Instagram page, showing the late artist posing for a selfie in front of a mirror holding an iPhone.
He also posted a few photos to his Instagram Stories, arguing that he technically has 14 No. 1 hits, but Billboard doesn’t seem to count his presence in ‘Sicko Mode’ by Travis Scott.
Drake celebrates the Billboard Hot 100 with a fighting game
However, one of his celebratory Insta stories caught the special attention of fighting game fans. The story shows a photo of Drake, overlaid with a GIF of an anime character doing some Michael Jackson-inspired moves.
Turns out this isn’t just a generic anime version of MJ; instead, it’s a playable character from the Blazblue fighting game franchise named Hazama.
It’s no secret that some of his moves and even one of his alternate palettes were inspired by Michael Jackson. In fact, Hazama’s birthday falls on International Dance Day, a reference to the King of Pop.
Arc System Works Hazama is a character in the Blazblue fighting game series.
The character’s smooth moves have made him a favorite among fighting game fans – but this isn’t Drake’s first foray into the field so far. gaming. After all, who can forget the famous rapper who linked up with Ninja on Twitch back in the day, not to mention the very title of the song that made him bond with MJ: ‘First Person Shooter?’
In fact, Drake apparently wrote the song ‘Nice for What’ while playing 2K. Nice to see him spreading a little love towards FGC… now when can we see him perform at EVO?
