Mr Eazi Dismisses ‘Stream Farming’ Claims in Nigeria

Singer and entrepreneur Mr. Eazi has firmly rejected the allegations of ‘stream farming’ in Nigeria, defending the authenticity of the country’s music streaming figures. In a recent response to a comment on X (formerly Twitter), where a user suggested that Apple Music should investigate Nigerian music streams, Mr. Eazi asserted, “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 Mr. Eazi’s defense, his comments sparked significant debate among users in the comment section. While many expressed support for his viewpoint, others argued that although Mr. Eazi may not be involved in stream farming, it doesn’t necessarily rule out the possibility that others might be engaging in such practices.

The debate around ‘stream farming’—a practice where streams are artificially inflated to boost song popularity—has been a topic of concern in the global music industry, with various countries grappling with its impact. As the Nigerian music industry continues to grow and attract international attention, discussions about the legitimacy of streaming numbers remain an ongoing conversation.

Mr. Eazi’s strong stance reflects his confidence in Nigeria’s music scene, but the discussion highlights the complex nature of digital music analytics and the challenges of ensuring fair practices in the ever-expanding world of online streaming.
