The 6 Gods’ It’s All a Blur Tour passed through Washington, D.C., making him the first rapper in American history to earn more than $5 million from a single arena performance. The Capital One Arena concerts generated an average of $5.032 million in ticket sales per event, for a total of $10.064 million over the course of the two nights. Due to these enormous numbers, Drake’s performance in Washington, D.C., on July 28 earned the most money of his career. The It’s All a Blur Tour is on track to surpass Kendrick Lamar’s Big Steppers Tour, which is now the most successful Hip-Hop tour of all time.
