Information reaching Kossyderrickent has
it that Megan Thee Stallion mocked as she said Spotify is for 15 year olds during IG live.
Spotify users have gone after Megan Thee Stallion after she referred to those who prefer the streaming platform as teenagers. “She saying that because her new song didn’t debut on global? Spotify is the biggest platform btw,” one person noted. “Spotify literally has artists that have great music that aren’t on iTunes. The playlists you can compile on Spotify are better than ITunes,” argued another as they defended the platform. Furthermore, some people wondered if there was an alternate motive. “Nicki breaking records and making history on Both Apple Music and Spotify. So I hope she not tryna be shady,” one user theorized.
On Saturday (Dec. 23), the rapper hosted an Instagram Live session where she discussed what the near future looks like for her, and much more. There were also a couple of comments which seemed like shots at Nicki Minaj but it can’t be said with guarantee.
“I’m excited for this era because I get to do everything I want to do whenever I want to do it.” This statement was pointing towards her recent departure from her former label 1501 Certified Entertainment. Attorneys for the rapper’s former record label recently revealed that the two parties “mutually reached a confidential settlement.”
Songs will now have to reach 1000 annual streams before the site will pay the artist. If that threshold isn’t reached, any money the artist would have earned will be diverted back into Spotify’s general revenue pool. Essentially, bigger artists would earn the money created by smaller indie artists. Furthermore, while 200 streams a year doesn’t sound like a lot, MBW explained that the figure is a lofty goal for many small, independent artists. Furthermore, when multiplied across the low-play songs on the platform, Spotify is saving tens of millions dollars a year.
