Popular singer and entrepreneur Mr. Eazi has dismissed claims of “stream farming” in Nigeria, asserting that the country’s music streaming numbers are authentic and reflect a vibrant consumer base.
The discussion arose after a user on X suggested that Apple Music investigate Nigerian music streams.
Mr. Eazi firmly responded: “There is nothing like stream farming in Nigeria, please! No need for investigations. We are a vibrant music-consuming people; hence the numbers you see!”
Despite his defense, many users expressed skepticism in the comments, arguing that while Mr. Eazi may not engage in stream farming, it does not rule out the possibility of others doing so.
This debate has further highlighted ongoing concerns within the industry about transparency and the legitimacy of streaming figures.
