I know 50 Nigerian artists who use streaming farms – Singer Hotkeed claims

Afrobeats Singer Hotkeed Critiques Use of Streaming Farms in Nigerian Music Industry

Afrobeats artist Hotkeed has raised concerns about the detrimental effects of streaming farms on the Nigerian music scene, arguing that they divert attention from authentic talent.

In a recent interview with content creator Jbrandy, Hotkeed claimed to be aware of around 50 Nigerian artists utilizing streaming farms to artificially increase their digital music streams.

He emphasized the negative consequences of this practice, stating, “If 20 artists are stream farming, you have taken 20 genuine artists back. If 50 artists are stream farming, you have taken 50 genuine artists back. It’s that bad.”

Hotkeed lamented the rush some artists feel to showcase inflated stream numbers on social media, questioning their commitment to building a real audience. “Why can’t those who are using streaming farms wait to gain genuine streams? Why are you in a hurry?” he asked.

In his remarks, he also revealed that individuals offering streaming farm services had approached him to promote their methods. “I know those who are stream farming because the people doing it for them approached me and told me to see what they have done for them,” Hotkeed said.

He further threatened to expose any artists who might offend him, stating, “If any of those artists using streaming farms ever cross my lane, I would expose them. I will rather have 2,000 streams than deceiving myself with 2 million fake streams.”
