Travis Scott’s rise to stardom has been steady, powerful, and impossible to ignore. From moody mixtapes and gritty beginnings to commanding global stages, the icon has carved a path that feels as deliberate as it feels disruptive. Unlike the overnight sensations that burn fast and fade, Scott has built his empire brick by brick, and the rapper recently crossed a new milestone in his decorated pop journey. Travis Scott has surprisingly humbled Eminem in an unexpected turn of history, and he is now inching closer to a definitive glory spot.

The rap scene just witnessed an unexpected power shift, placing Travis Scott and Eminem in the spotlight — but only one emerged on top.

According to Rap TV on X, Travis Scott has unlocked a massive milestone by becoming the second most-streamed rapper of all time on Spotify, with a staggering 58 billion streams. In doing so, he has officially overtaken none other than Eminem, a titan of the genre in all his rights. What once seemed like a dream for the former is now a reality, and the significant feat can be attributed in part to the 2024 debut of his project 'Days Before Rodeo' on the platform, which arrived on the streamer a decade after its original release. With the second position on Spotify now attained, Scott will surely be eyeing that coveted top spot.

If and when Travis Scott manages to take the number one rapper spot on Spotify, currently occupied by Drake, the move will not just be about numbers but rather will be a reflection of his global reach. From Houston, his native place, to Tokyo, one of the most favored grounds for rap artists, his sound will then have crossed borders and blended genres, thus pulling admirers from every corner of the world. While the number one Spotify rapper dream is contingent on the future, fans have not stopped themselves from celebrating Scott’s current achievement.
