Kizz Daniel shares his thoughts on controversial streaming farm topic

The story led to speculations of stream deduction and drinking from the chart which are the most common heavy penalties Apple Music applies on streaming manipulation.

But the conversation had already kicked off before it returned to the chart, with quite a few social media users feeding into the speculations that the song was removed as a penalty for streaming manipulation.

Weighing in on the conversation, Kizz Daniel shared his opinion on his X page. He implied that he is not against streaming farms.

Although he stated that it’s simply for marketing and can only work for deep-pocketed artists, he also clarified that he was not indirectly shading anyone.

“Farming isn’t a crime, it’s Marketing … for placement and all …. But na for who get the money 💰 We ain’t shading anybody here before una start , just tryna push the new generation to DROP THOSE HIDDEN GEMS … I won learn,” he wrote.

A streaming farm is essentially a network that increases a song’s streams through the use of robots or multiple phones. It’s a grey market used by artists to shore up their numbers and get an (undue) advantage on charts.
