Afrobeats singer, songwriter and actor, Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, simply known as Chike, has alleged that Apple Music Nigeria top songs’ chart can be influenced.
He made this known while featuring on a recent episode of ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie.
According to the ‘Running’ crooner, the top 10 and top 20 charts are heavily rigged.
He went on to state that he could top Apple Music chart by just asking his team to pay to boost his streams.

He, however, added that this does not happen all the time.
Speaking during the interview, Chike said, “Your Top 10 and Top 20 on Apple Music is rigged… Not all the time to be fair but most times.
“But will you even call it rigged? I think people are willing to do certain things in the name of promotion. Because I think with all the music going on around now is about visibility. If you don’t take it to people, they might not really see it.
“Right now, if I want to be top 10 on Apple Music, I can tell my guys ‘okay please spend $30,000’ and we will go to top 10. But then it’s not real. And don’t get me wrong, not everybody. But most times that’s actually what’s going on. So I’m not going to be spending to cancel against sometimes even people that have more money than me.”
