The announcement that Wizkid’s latest single, ‘Dance,’ had been removed from the top position on the Top 100 chart sparked extensive discussions among music fans and influencers about the implications of streaming farms for the Nigerian music industry.

This incident led to speculation regarding potential stream deductions and the penalties typically enforced by Apple Music for streaming manipulation.

However, after a period of seven hours, the song regained its position at the top of the chart, much to the delight of Wizkid’s fanbase.
