The new 2021-22 Kickoff Game Season was scheduled for September 9th with the Dallas Cowboys taking on defending Super Bowl LV champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Drake’s promotional campaign with Monday Night Football will include a live telecast, pre-game shows, and promotional spots, for a total of about 10 games.

Drake’s album received over 430 million streams in the United States in just the first three days while Kanye’s “DONDA” album earned 423 million in just its first eight days on all streaming services according to Rolling Stone.
