Rapper Drake may have helped to push X (twitter.com) to hit the number one spot among free apps in the mobile Apple Store.

It comes as the hashtag “drakevideo” was trending as of Wednesday in the US, and in several sections of the world after a video surfaced that had users speculating to be the rapper Drake – half nude and engaged in an individual sexual act.

The matter forced hundreds of thousands to run to the App Store and download X in an attempt to find the video.

Meanwhile, X continues to struggle to stop the spread of the salacious celebrity image, it also fights to protect users of fake, AI-generated explicit images being circulated on the platform.

But the scandals hardly seemed to hurt X in terms of downloads.

X owner Elon Musk bragged about the app’s ascension to the top of the App Store list Wednesday, writing, “If I had a dollar for every time the media reported that one of my companies was going to die, I would never need to raise money!”
