This allegedly fraudulent activity took place between January 2022 and September 2025, according to the complaint.

It claims an examination of Drake’s streams revealed “abnormal VPN usage” had obscured the location of the bot accounts streaming Drake’s songs.

For instance, the lawsuit claims that over a four-day period in 2024, at least 250,000 streams of his song “No Face” originated in Turkey “but were falsely geomapped through the coordinated use of VPNs to the United Kingdom in [an] attempt to obscure their origins.”

The lawsuit also alleges that “a large percentage” of accounts streaming Drake’s music were “geographically concentrated around areas whose population could not support” such a high volume of streams.

No exact places or numbers were given, though the suit claimed that some streams reportedly originated in areas with “zero residential addresses.”
:heh:

The lawsuit further claims that “the number of streams of Drake’s music attributable to individual accounts is staggering and irregular,” with a “massive amount of accounts listening to Drake’s music” doing so “23 hours a day.”

Less than two percent of these users, the lawsuit goes on to claim, account for “roughly 15 percent” of Drake’s streams; and about about nine percent of Drake’s streams “are attributable to less than one percent” of these users

The lawsuit does not state how the plaintiffs, or their lawyers, obtained this data, nor does it shed any light on how the analysis of Drake’s streaming numbers was conducted.

:mjlol: at the bolded. UMG made that call....
