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.

I Got The Concept For “Men Are Crazy” From My Hubby – Simi

Published

on

The controversial song “Men Are Crazy,” which is performed by popular singer Simisola Kosoko, often known as Simi, was inspired by her husband, Adekunle Gold, according to her revelation.

Meanwhile there were differing opinions on Simi’s most recent single, “Men Are Crazy,” which included Tiwa Savage.

A lot of male social media users criticised the singers for the song’s patronising tone.

Simi claimed that the song’s concept originated with her husband, singer Adekunle Gold, during an appearance on Angela Yee’s podcast, “Way Up.”

She said, “My husband gave me the idea for my song, ‘Men Are Crazy’. He was like, ‘Babe, how about we do a song and you say men are crazy but I still want one in my bed?’

“I was like, ‘Oh yeah, no one is going to see that coming from me. So I made that song. I had actually finished the song, I did two verses but I felt something was missing. It just hit me and I was like, ‘I will love to have Tiwa on the song.’ We [our music] don’t generally go in the same direction but I was like, it would be so nice to find that balance and do something that would bring our synergies together. So I sent it to Tiwa and she did her verse and we shot the video together.”

Femi Adebayo Raises Alarm On Film Piracy Concerns

Femi Adebayo assign as Star Time Ambassador

Actor Femi Adebayo of Nollywood has voiced concern about the rise in film piracy incidents in the nation.

Adebayo took to his instagram profile, @femiadebayosalami, on Tuesday, to tell his journey and how he recently came out successful in his fight against piracy on one of his movies.

He pointed out that the unlawful actions of movie pirates had prevented the film industry’s payout from being maximised.

Adebayo said: “The Nigerian film industry has experienced exponential growth over the years, but we haven’t been able to maximise the true dividends of this business because of dare devil pirates who benefit where they didn’t sow.

“This is a major reason why investors find it hard to commit their funds to filmmakers. However, through persistence and the use of the legal framework covering intellectual property, we can bring their activities to a gradual halt.

“Several times, I have been a victim of movie pirates and I never spared them. I recently concluded a legal battle with a notable media company that owns a big radio station and also engages in Youtube content distribution.

“During the cinema run of “Survival of Jelili” in 2019, my movie was gathering good numbers at that time. They decided to use my movie poster and title to promote a movie on their platform, thereby deceiving fans and diverting revenue accrued to me.

“It took 3 years, but my trust in the legal and justice system remained unwavering. With the dedication of our legal team, Bola Adebowale & Co Legal Practitioners, who are seasoned professionals with wealth of experience in handling such cases.

“They presented undeniable evidence, put up a strong argument, and took the case to trial. Their promptness, efficiency, and attention to detail played a huge part in the direction of the case. We won and were awarded a total of twenty-five five million Naira.

“This isn’t just my win as a filmmaker and content producer, but a win for all of Nollywood.”

Filmmakers, in his opinion, need to be prepared to combat piracy and theft of intellectual property on all fronts.

“Every win brings us closer to protecting and getting the true economic value of our works,” he said

I’m Getting Death Threats For Criticising Wizkid – Nasboi Calls Out

Published

on

Popular artist and skit creator, Nasboi has disclosed that, as a result of his criticism of Wizkid for disparaging Don Jazzy, he’s been getting death threats.

Recall that Wizkid got in trouble from Nasboi for making fun of Don Jazzy during his latest social media meltdown? Wizkid was on the Bahd and Boujee podcast at the time.

The content creator claimed in an interview with Cool FM that since his appearance on the show, he has been the target of death threats.

He said, “It’s like once you’re a celebrity, you do not have an opinion. But you, who is a normal guy on the street, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that’s okay. And me, who’s a normal guy who is a celebrity, shouldn’t have the same privilege?

“Because of what I said on my recent podcast interview. It’s a simple question: Do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy with his statement? They asked me a direct question and I think yes. For calling him an influencer, I feel like the context wasn’t okay. I would feel bad. And because of what I said about WizKid, somebody is in my DM saying I will die like my brother.”
