Nigerian singer Kizz Daniel has shared his thoughts on navigating streaming platforms and social media algorithms, sparking conversation within the music industry.
In a recent post, Kizz Daniel emphasized that stream farming, though not a crime, is primarily for artists with financial resources. He cited American rapper Killer Mike, a four-time Grammy winner, as an example of success beyond streaming numbers.
Kizz Daniel cautioned against obsessing over streaming numbers, advising new-generation singers to focus on creating quality music. He also noted that stream farming can be controlled, as song performance often varies across platforms.
The singer clarified that his comments were not intended as shade, but rather provide guidance for emerging artists.
However, some fans interpreted Kizz Daniel's words as referencing Wizkid, given the recent controversy surrounding Wizkid's song Kese disappearing from Apple Music charts after topping them for days.
Kizz Daniel's advice has ignited debate on the importance of streaming numbers and social media algorithms in measuring artistic success.
Leave social media algorithms , focus on your craft … have you ever heard of a guy called KILLER MIKE 🤷🏾♂️ guess not … 4 times Grammy winner 🥇 stop chasing number 1 song , it’s meh now = everything can be controlled …. Most of those songs numbers no dey correlate on other…
