An X influencer identified as benny77g has raised concerns, calling out global music streaming platform, Apple Music, to investigate the streams coming from Nigeria.
The influencer believed that there have been a lot of suspicious activities surrounding the number of streams garnered by Nigerian artistes within minutes to hours of song release.
He instituted that bolts, what he called 'Stream farming" are now used to increase the number of streams on a song, which uncomfortably tops the Apple Music Chart.
The influencer wrote: DEAR @APPLEMUSIC, YOU REALLY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THE STREAMS COMING FROM NIGERIA. THERE IS A LOT OF STREAMS FARMING CURRENTLY GOING ON! 😡
