Spotify Wins Dismissal of Lawsuit Alleging Billions of Fake Drake Streams

A federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Spotify, which accused the streaming platform of knowingly allowing billions of fraudulent streams for artists like Drake. The lawsuit, filed by rapper RBX (Eric Collins), claimed that this alleged bot activity diverted an estimated $600 million in royalties from legitimate musicians. The dismissal prevents Collins from filing another amended complaint in the same court, with the judge finding insufficient allegations that Spotify made deceptive statements or violated laws regarding its anti-fraud policies.
