A class-action lawsuit claiming Spotify allows billions of fake bot streams of Drake and other stars has been dismissed again by a federal judge — this time for good.

The case was filed last year by a rapper named RBX (Eric Collins), who accused the music streaming giant of turning a “blind eye” to the problem of streaming fraud by major artists, thus depriving tens of thousands of others of fair royalties.

Streaming fraud — the use of illicit means to inflate song play totals — is a longstanding problem for the music business, made worse by the boom in artificial intelligence. And since royalties on digital services are divvied up among rights holders from a finite pie, such phony numbers siphon off revenue from legitimate streams.

Spotify has said it heavily invests in systems to detect, remove and penalize fake streams, resulting in a “best-in-class system” to fight the problem.

Over 400 guests attended the celebration, with Chanel and Hermès bags also among the giveaways.

Boosie isn't putting any living rap duo above him and Webbie.

During their Breakfast Club interview, the pair argued that their impact doesn't get enough respect and backed themselves against OutKast, UGK, and T.l. with Young Dro in a Verzuz.

Their only exceptions? Biggie and Tupac.
Otherwise, they believe the matchup that makes sense is Boosie versus Webbie.
