Drake recently made Spotify history as the first artist on the platform to surpass 75,000 streams. He recognized the accomplishment on social media while throwing in a suggestion to the streaming service.

“We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” he captioned a screenshot of the story. “So feel free to send me a LeBron [James] sized cheque I have enough dinner plates @spotify.”

The news about Drake, who was previously Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2010, comes days before the release of his NFL x OVO capsule collection. The merch drops Friday.
