They used to say numbers don’t lie. Today, numbers are lying. They are buying the numbers [from] streaming farms. So don’t let them start talking about numbers. It doesn’t make any sense again.
We are on the ground; we see people with 1 million followers on Instagram and all that stuff. When they release music, they don’t even get streams up to a thousand or two thousand. That should tell you that the numbers are lying. When they do shows, nobody will come. We’ve seen it. When they go abroad, they can’t do [anything]. And these are considered A-list artistes here.
