During the interview, Blaqbonez voiced his concerns about the integrity of the Apple Music Nigeria chart, particularly the presence of unfamiliar songs within the top 20 rankings.
He questioned the authenticity of these songs, asserting that they owe their success not to genuine popularity but rather to the utilization of the dubious “streaming farm” technology.
Blaqbonez expressed his frustration, saying, “People [some artists] are farming on Apple Music Nigeria, and it is truly disheartening.
Take a moment to open your phone and navigate from number 10 to 20 on the chart. Ask yourself, do you recognize any of those songs? I certainly don’t.”
Confident in his own talent, Blaqbonez lamented the fact that his own hit single, “Like Ice Spice,” has been unable to secure a spot in the top 10, despite its popularity on other music platforms.
He attributed this discrepancy to the recognition Apple Music holds as a platform with significant public relations impact. Artists who manage to achieve top 10 status on this platform are immediately propelled into the spotlight, generating substantial buzz.
Recognizing this trend, opportunistic individuals have resorted to farming streams exclusively on Apple Music, disregarding their presence on other platforms entirely.
In his frustration, Blaqbonez stated, “People who are virtually absent from any other platform suddenly appear on the Apple Music Nigeria chart. It is truly disheartening to witness.”
