The rapper recently criticized Spotify, claiming he received less than $45,000 for over one billion streams on the platform.

After crossing the 1 billion mark, Snoop Dogg revealed his supposed shocking payout. However, yesterday (February 27), a representative for Spotify finally came out to address Snoop’s claim that he only received $45,000 for one billion streams. In a statement to TMZ, the spokesperson said:

Snoop Dogg has partnered with Tune.FM, signaling a potential shift from traditional streaming platforms due to a dispute with Spotify over royalty payments. The rapper plans to migrate his catalog to Tune.FM, expressing dissatisfaction with Spotify's payment structure.

Already, Tune.FM has attracted hundreds of thousands of active users, reinforcing the demand for a fairer, artist-first streaming model. The platform has been home to exclusive releases from respected artists like Nappy Roots and the Summer of Love compilation, featuring rare and never-before-heard tracks from legendary musicians.

Spotify has refuted claims from the West Coast rapper, where he alleges being paid $45,000 from one billion streams.
