Music News: Drake Accused Of Inflating Streams

Drake has been accused of using an online casino platform to artificially inflate streams of his music.

The Hotline Bling rapper, who signed an endorsement deal with Stake.us in 2022, is being sued for alleged racketeering conspiracy in a new class-action lawsuit filed by two Stake consumers, LaShawnna Ridley and Tiffany Hines, in Virginia on Wednesday.

Drake and his co-defendants, streamer Adin Ross and Australian national George Nguyen, are accused of preying upon consumers and unlawfully exposing them to the âsubstantial risks of gambling addictionâ as part of a conspiracy that allegedly uses proceeds to âartificially inflate streaming countsâ for Drakeâs music.

According to Rolling Stone and Complex, the complaint alleged that the three defendants used Stakeâs internal âtippingâ feature to transfer money between themselves to fund âartificial streaming (âbottingâ) to create fraudulent streams of Drakeâs musicâ and âfabricate popularity; disparage competitors and music label executives; distort recommendation algorithms; and distribute financing for all of the foregoing, while concealing the flow of fundsâ.

âAt the heart of the scheme, Drake â acting directly and through willing and knowledgeable co-conspirators â has deployed automated bots and streaming farms to artificially inflate play counts of his music across major platforms, such as Spotify,â the lawsuit reads. âThis manipulation has suppressed authentic artists and narrowed consumersâ access to legitimate content by undermining the integrity of curated experiences.â

Drake, real name Aubrey Graham, was named as a defendant in two other Stake-related lawsuits in October.
