Spotify: “Expose Davido” Samklef says as 5 million streams were removed from ‘Funds’ and ‘Awuke’ on Spotify

Samklef, a singer and music producer, has taken to his X handle to express dissatisfaction over what he perceives as ‘foul play’ by media houses and some media personalities. He believes that if Spotify had removed streams for Burna Boy or WizKid, the news would have been widely covered, but since it was for Davido, it was overlooked.

In about a week ago, the news of the removal of two of Davido’s streams on Spotify sparingly found a space on the internet but couldn’t make the buzz and the reels. It’s found that Spotify removed over 5 million streams from two of Davido’s streams ‘Funds’ and ‘Awuke’. The reason for the removals is not known yet.
Research revealed that Spotify’s algorithm “conducts daily cleaning to ensure artificial streams are removed from public numbers in the Spotify app. This is essential to ensure a level playing field, where nobody is able to use artificial streaming to increase the perceived popularity of their music on Spotify.” – Spotify Support Team
Samklef wailed, “I no go gree! Spotify expose Davido. Spotify removed Davido’s streams because dem see ojoro, but no media house carry the news!Tunde Ednut no post am, VDM no talk about am! Na why I dey vex for this app!
If na Wizkid or Burna Boy, we no go hear word again.
But now, I dey work with Spotify! Una go see shege! 😂
I go reset this industry, no cap!”
Samklef Noni seems to accuse Davido of foul play “ojoro” in his music production and had made a commitment to bring sanity to music industry.
It’s interesting to take a look at what netizens reacted on the post,
“Wizkid don sub your 2.5 gb again”
“You’re a sheep 😂😂”
“Even @GossipMillNaija no post am”
“Person success dey give u headache Nawa oo🌚”
“Post am na. You no get your own audience ?”
“Well done sir, no mind that oloriburuku @Mazitundeeednut and this werey thief @Coolverydarkma bad influence people ewure”
“Dem fit pay $30billion no lie”
“U just Mumu anyhow aswear.”
“The pa!n continue in 2025..

Truly Davido is the king 👑”
“We supposed dey pity that woman wey carry this fuuuullllll for 9 months o”
This one didn’t sync well with netizens as they h@ul insults at Samklef. In the coming days, let’s see if Spotify would release the reason for their action on Davido’s streams.
