Popular Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has voiced his concern about the increasing use of streaming farms in the country’s music scene.
The conversation started when singer Magixx posted a tweet calling out artists who fake their streaming numbers. According to him, these musicians are fooling not just the public, but even their own family members with false success.
Reacting to Magixx’s tweet, Blaqbonez shared his own thoughts. He said the damage caused by fake streams is already too deep to fix.
He added that today’s music charts are no longer about talent or fan love — they now reflect who can afford to buy their way up the rankings. Blaqbonez compared the situation to the early 2000s, when chart positions on iTunes were also heavily influenced by money.
His comments have reignited discussions about honesty in the music industry. Many fans and fellow musicians are now reflecting on how fake streaming could be harming real talent and the future of Nigerian music.
As more artists speak up, the call for transparency and fairness in the music space continues to grow.
