Social media is buzzing with heated reactions following rumors that Afrobeat superstar Wizkid may face a ban from Apple Music after allegations of using bots to inflate streaming numbers for his latest single, “KESE.”
The alleged “farming” scandal has sparked widespread debate among fans and critics, with many questioning the authenticity of the track’s performance.
Reports suggest that “KESE,” which initially recorded an impressive 1.5 million streams on its first day of release, has since vanished from Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Songs chart. Fans noticed a sharp drop in its streams, fueling suspicions of artificial manipulation.
Social media users have not held back their opinions. One fan exclaimed, “Jesus, he is truly finished,” while another remarked, “Na the KASA KASA wey dey always come after the KESE KESE be this.” Another added, “I said it, imagine 1.5 million on the first day as if na ghost dey stream the music, and the next day it drops to 800k… Ha!”
One also said, “If na Davido, all these bloggers for don post am finish.”
At the time of this report, neither Wizkid nor his team has released an official statement addressing the allegations. Apple Music has also remained silent on the rumors of a possible ban.
This controversy adds to the ongoing conversation about the use of bots in the music industry and its impact on fair competition. Fans of Wizkid are eagerly awaiting clarity, while critics continue to dissect the situation.
