BNXN, Yemi Alade, Blaqbonez, Others Denounce Artistes Paying ‘Streaming Farms’
An heated exchange ignited on Twitter, Wednesday night after Ruger trolled his colleague, BNXN accusing him of making songs incapable of throwing a crowd into frenzy.
BNXN in turn blasted Ruger, alleging the latter’s bosses employ the services of streaming farms to get their artists’ songs placed on the music charts, giving them a competitive advantage over artists who rely only on organic streams.
“All of you using streaming farms would be exposed soon. awon hushpuppi,” he said.
He expressed pain over his claim noting while others genuinely strive hard to achieve this feat, some prefer to get it through the ‘back door’.
The entertainer, who also referred to himself as ‘Emeka the Stallion’ added these particular singers after their closed-door deed come out publicly to give God credit for same.
BlaqBonez tweet: “It’s actually so painful say u go hustle, push your shit, some niggas go just use money buy the charts. same men go come out give God credit. Lmao continue.”
His tweet seemed to resonate with other artistes as Blaqbonez, Yemi Alade and music video director, TG Omori condemned the acts.
Quoting Blaqbonez words, Yemi Alade hailed him for his more ‘realer’ tweet, obliging anyone to assist in framing it for her so she could have it hung on her wall.
“Never saw a ” realler ” tweet! Somebody pls frame this tweet for me. I want to hang it on my wall”, said the “Johnny” crooner.
Also, Olakira on his twitter handle, bemoaned the negative effect of streaming farms by some artistes on the craft and efforts of genuine working singers.
The 32-year-old singer whose name means ‘shining star’ in Swahili prayed that the day of judgement for the guilty artistes patronising streaming farms be fast-tracked.
Olakira said: “And If you no dey pay these streaming farms, one guy from abule agba go borrow data come online talk say you fall off.
“Y’all ruining the industry for genuine hustlers, Judgement day dey come.”
A relatively recent idea, streaming farms were developed particularly to profit from streaming platforms.
Streaming farms are used by signed artists and companies to boost their streaming numbers and dominate the charts.
This guarantees they receive royalties, but more significantly, it shows that their artists are popular even though that isn’t the case.
The United Kingdom government has denied entry to controversial American rapper Kanye West, blocking his planned return to the European stage ahead of a highly anticipated comeback performance.
According to reports, the artist recently applied for permission to travel to the UK, where he was scheduled to headline the popular Wireless Festival in July.

However, authorities turned down the request, citing concerns that his presence would not be in the interest of public good.
The decision is believed to be linked to widespread backlash over West’s past antisemitic remarks, which have sparked global criticism and strained his professional relationships in recent years.
The UK government’s move reflects a growing trend of holding high-profile figures accountable for statements considered harmful or divisive.
West was billed to perform across all three nights of the festival, set to take place at Finsbury Park in London, as part of what many fans saw as a major comeback tour.
His absence now leaves organizers scrambling to adjust the lineup for one of the summer’s biggest music events.
While officials have not provided further details beyond the decision, the development has stirred reactions across the entertainment industry, with fans and critics divided over the government’s stance.
As anticipation builds toward the festival, attention now shifts to how organizers will fill the void left by one of music’s most polarizing figures.
Nigerian entertainer Martin’s Ortse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM) has expressed skepticism over influencer Blessing CEO’s claims that she is battling breast cancer and seeking financial support for urgent surgery.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, VDM cautioned about the sensitive nature of cancer and the need for transparency before public appeals.
“I just hope what Blessing CEO is saying is true because cancer is a very sensitive matter globally. Cancer is not something that someone should joke with; it has claimed the lives of many people. A friend of mine lost his mother from cancer,” he wrote.

VDM questioned the authenticity of Blessing CEO’s claims, pointing out the absence of hospital documentation.
“I’m not convinced enough that Blessing CEO is telling the truth. Why? Because you did not post any proof from the hospital that diagnosed you. You did not provide the hospital or a doctor’s report.
“You said a lot of resources have gone into your health, yet you did not provide receipts for people to see. Instead, you came online appealing emotionally, saying this is the time for people to show you love,” he added.
Recall that Blessing CEO had shared in a video on Instagram that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and urgently needs surgery, including a possible amputation, to halt the progression of the illness.
She revealed that what initially seemed like a harmless lump in her right breast last year was later confirmed as cancer, and the illness has now spread to her left breast.
“I have not been able to work, and my resources have been exhausted. That is why I am appealing for support. If my words have ever had a positive impact on your life, and you are a fan, this is the time to show it. Nothing is too small. I just want to be well,” she said.
Nigerian influencer Blessing CEO has revealed that she is battling breast cancer and is seeking urgent financial support to undergo life-saving surgery.
In a video shared on Instagram, Blessing, who appeared bald, explained that she had exhausted her personal resources on treatment and felt “powerless,” prompting her to go public.

“I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. At this point, I urgently need surgery, including a possible amputation, to stop the spread and determine how far the tumour has gone, and whether one or both breasts will be affected,” she said.
Born Blessing Okoro Nkiruka, Blessing revealed that what initially seemed like a harmless lump in her right breast last year was later confirmed as cancer after further tests.
She disclosed that the illness has now spread to her left breast, making surgical intervention critical.
“It started last year as a lump, and I went to the hospital. Weeks after the tests, I was told it was not cancerous, so I decided not to remove it at the time because I had a lot going on.
“But when I was ready to have it removed, another test was carried out, and it was discovered that the lump was cancerous and had spread to the left breast. We are now considering an amputation,” she explained.
Blessing made a heartfelt appeal to her fans: “If my words have ever had a positive impact on your life, and you are a fan, this is the time to show it. Nothing is too small. I just want to be well.”
The influencer is urging anyone willing to offer support to contribute toward her medical expenses as she prepares for potentially life-saving surgery.
