21 Savage responds to reportedly shedding roughly 25 million streams on Spotify.

The reported drop was first observed by followers and information trackers earlier this week, who noticed a sudden lower in stream counts throughout a number of tracks within the rapper’s catalog. The modifications rapidly sparked hypothesis on-line, with some suggesting the removals could also be tied to Spotify’s ongoing efforts to remove synthetic or inauthentic streaming exercise.

Shortly after the experiences started circulating, 21 Savage appeared to deal with the scenario, making it clear he’s not involved concerning the alleged loss. DJ Akademiks claims that 21 Savage messaged him concerning the alleged removing.

“He says, ‘Yo, this sh*t is cap.’ He said, ‘Bro, why the f*ck would I bot 25 million lol.’ He says, ‘I would just bot 100 million if I was going to do that sh*t.’”

As of now, Spotify has not launched an official assertion explaining the precise adjustment or confirming whether or not the streams have been eliminated as a part of a routine audit.

Until extra readability is supplied by Spotify or the artist’s staff, the precise reason behind the reported stream drop stays unclear.
