Fido Responds to Removal of “Joy Is Coming” from Spotify: “We’re Working to Resolve the Issue”
Fido has issued an official statement regarding the unexpected removal of his hit single “Joy Is Coming” from Spotify, leaving fans and industry insiders searching for answers.
As of February 20, 2025, the track, which debuted on December 14, 2024, and quickly amassed over 21 million streams while enjoying a five-week reign at the top of the TurnTable Top 100 chart, was pulled from the popular streaming platform. Despite this setback, the song remains available on other major platforms like Apple Music, where it previously topped the Nigeria Top 100 chart.
In a heartfelt message shared on his social media, Fido expressed his gratitude to his fans, saying: “Dear Oosha_FC, we want to take a moment to thank you for your love and support for ‘Joy is Coming.’ We’ve noticed that the song has been temporarily unavailable on Spotify, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
He reassured fans, stating, “Please rest assured that we are working tirelessly to resolve the issue and ensure that the song returns as soon as possible. Your patience and continued support mean the world to us.”
While fans continue to speculate, neither Fido, his record label Oosha Records, nor Spotify have provided an official explanation for the removal.
In the midst of this, Oosha Records has announced a significant strategic partnership with international distribution company EMPIRE, which aims to amplify the global presence of Fido and other artists under the label. The collaboration promises to open new avenues for the music, offering a broader platform for future releases.
As Fido and his team work to address the situation, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of “Joy is Coming” to Spotify and further updates on the artist’s ongoing journey.
