21 Savage responds to reportedly losing approximately 25 million streams on Spotify.

The reported drop was first noticed by fans and data trackers earlier this week, who observed a sudden decrease in stream counts across multiple tracks in the rapper’s catalog. The changes quickly sparked speculation online, with some suggesting the removals may be tied to Spotify’s ongoing efforts to eliminate artificial or inauthentic streaming activity.

Shortly after the reports began circulating, 21 Savage appeared to address the situation, making it clear he’s not concerned about the alleged loss. DJ Akademiks claims that 21 Savage messaged him about the alleged removal.

“He says, ‘Yo, this sh*t is cap.’ He said, ‘Bro, why the f*ck would I bot 25 million lol.’ He says, ‘I would just bot 100 million if I was going to do that sh*t.’”

As of now, Spotify has not released an official statement explaining the specific adjustment or confirming whether the streams were removed as part of a routine audit.

Until more clarity is provided by Spotify or the artist’s team, the exact cause of the reported stream drop remains unclear.
