The harm that streaming farms have caused to the Nigerian music business has deeply alarmed rapper Blaqbonez.
He asserted that stream farming musicians have caused “irreversible” harm to the music industry. He made this statement while lending his voice to singer Magixx’s recent condemnation of musicians who use bots or automated systems to artificially inflate the amount of plays their song or album receives on streaming platforms. You guys are falsifying your numbers.
I hope you have a good night’s sleep. Continue lying to your relatives,” Magixx wrote through X. Blaqbonez cited his tweet to warn that the Nigerian music industry’s streaming manipulation will have serious repercussions.
He wrote, “The irreversible damage we done to our industry, one day it’d finally come crumbling down, for now let’s keep acting like the charts mean anything more than a showcase of the people who can afford to buy it, its like iTunes in the 2000s all over again.”
