That was a few years ago now but I have no reason to think his fan base has decreased any since then.

To be fair, I wasn't comparing them to each other. I was making the point they both have a limited audience. The Drills are going to pull club numbers where they go, sure, but Richie is limited to the UK. Obviously RS is a MUCH bigger draw.
It's hard to say if his fanbase has increased or decreased. When you perform sporadically and a percentage of the time the shows are sometimes chaotic but sometimes great, you don't put out new music, I don't know if you can pull the same numbers as time passed.
