During his stop on The 85 South Comedy Show, Birdman made a bold flex about his Young Money team.
Baby said they could get $15 to $20 million a show.

“So you know with Nicki and Drake, that sh*it about $15-20million a show,” he said. “Big facts. A lot of money on the table. $4-5million a show. We’ve been offered about $4-5million a show. That’s without Drake and Nicki.”
It's unclear that the math here maths.
Drake (and 21 Savage) set the revenue record for an arena show when they pulled in $5 million in ticket sales for a stop at Madison Square Garden last week.
Taylor Swift, who's currently on what will be the highest-grossing tour in the history of music, gets about $13 million a night in tickets for playing football stadiums, something rap acts rarely do.
Those numbers don't include concessions and merch. Nevertheless, we don't think Drake plus Wayne plus Nicki equals $20 million.
Even if it would be a popular show.
