OK, I have a stock , unrooted nexus 5 and have been having a couple of issues for the past couple of days. Spotify locked up the other day, shut my phone off and it later booted up in safe mode. Uninstalled Spotify, few other apps, rebooted like normal. Had some crazy battery drain, phone was getting extremely hot ( especially while charging, it only charged about 30% that night while I slept ).

I wiped the cache in recovery mode and most of my issues seem to be fixed, but Spotify, songza, radio, and Facebook all refuse to open. Everything else works fine. Spotify freezes on a blank screen, Facebook gets stuck on the loading screen ( where you get the message "setting up Facebook" under the logo )then closes after a minute or so, and I am also unable to add a Facebook account in the settings menu under accounts.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this.

Try uninstalling Facebook and see if the other apps run better. Facebook is notorious for background use of the processor.

One of the first things I did, actually. I uninstalled all of the apps that were giving me issues actually, but no change.

I'm sure you tried rebooting too. Hopefully others will chime in.

I don't really use FB, but a fair number of people say that not using the FB app and using the stock browser often works just as well.

That's what I do, but I hardly ever use it anyway.
