It took Drake some time to duo queue with Ninja from his PlayStation 4, but once the two were connected and communicating the stream quickly passed 400,000 viewers.
The previous individual streaming record for concurrent viewers was set last month by Dr. DisRespect with 388,000.
There were a lot of memorable moments from this monumental pop culture-meets-gaming event, including Ninja's wife popping off after after meeting Drake on comms.
The night's stream spawned memes galore.
