Drake and Ninja occupied the top two spots on Twitter’s worldwide trends list and the rappers tweet about the live stream received over 135,000 retweets. When fellow rapper Travi$ Scott and NFL superstar JuJu Smith-Schuster joined the stream part way through proceedings, things truly reached the most bizarre of levels. His channel, which already had the distinction of being the most subscribed channel on Twitch, smashed the record for most live viewers at a given time with over 600,000 people tuning in to watch the streamer join forces with a guy who has charted more number one songs on than any other solo artist, ever. Ninja, real name Tyler Blevins, has seen a meteoric rise to the top of the online streaming platform Twitch thanks to his unparalleled skills at the worldwide phenomenon that is the game Fortnite. However, contrary to everything you thought you knew about life, that’s exactly what happened last month, and again a few days ago – and the results were amazing. These two worlds – the world in which you play games in front of people online and the world in which you know everyone from Kim Kardashian to Barack Obama – don’t generally cross. The same guy who’s broken almost every Spotify and Apple Music streaming record, won three Grammy’s, and hangs out with A-list celebrities courtside at NBA games, was now playing the most popular video game in the world live on the internet with a guy called Ninjahyper, or Ninja, for short. Drake, arguably the biggest active recording artist out right now, had no earthly business being there. That’s what it felt like watching rapper Drake join a Twitch live stream to play the video game Fortnite recently. You know that scene in The Shawshank Redemption where Andy tells Red to look for a rock that has no earthly business being in a Maine hay field?
