--- Quote ---Rapper RBX has sued Spotify, alleging that the Swedish audio company has failed to stop the artificial inflation of music streams for artists like Drake and is hurting the revenue other rights holders receive through the platform.

RBX, whose real name is Eric Dwayne Collins, is seeking a class-action status and damages and restitution from Spotify. RBX, along with other rights holders, receive payment based on how often their music is streamed on Spotify, according to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in L.A. on Sunday.

Surprised that this hasn't been talked about.  I guess RBX doesn't have anything to lose, but didn't Drake attempt to sue Spotify initially and was forced to voluntarily dismiss his claim?

This tells a lot about the people here. This is a big step, especially in the current state of the music industry. Its something to care about

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't use Spotify, but I also don't listen to a lot of current music

mostly my old CDs and when the veterans come out with something new Ill just cop the album, sometimes unfortunately so like "Missionary"

It is an interesting case, just think it's funny, of all the people to bring this to a head, it's RBX.  Dude, people aren't listening to your music in 2025 because it sucks.  Not because AI bots are 'listening' to Drake and taking away your streams lol. 

You're right though, RBX has nothing to lose, might as well throw something out there for a quick money grab.
