Controversial media personality Akademiks took to Twitter to mock Saucy Santana after the rapper’s diss track, “Meet Me In The Streets,” reportedly gained only 8,295 streams on Spotify in nine days. Akademiks pointed out the low streaming numbers, suggesting that Santana’s clout-chasing efforts did not translate into significant music engagement.
In response, Saucy Santana defended the track, explaining that it was a surprise release with minimal promotion and initially only available on Apple Music. He emphasized that the song was meant for the streets, not aiming for Billboard success, and was created to clown Akademiks and entertain his fans.
To put this in perspective… 1,000,000 streams on Spotify = $4000 in Royalty Payouts. 8000 streams means he earned a measly $32 from dissing me. and yall think im worried about a silver back gorilla looking nigga w/ a bbl and a beard and acrylic nails. U cant get hot like this https://t.co/cSroFquIse
