Snoop Dogg Plans to Leave Spotify for Tune.FM

Snoop Dogg has officially partnered with Tune.FM, a blockchain-based streaming platform, announcing his intention to move his music catalog there while criticizing Spotify for low earnings from his streams. He stated, 'I don’t f**k with Spotify anymore. I'm only on Tune.FM,' highlighting his dissatisfaction with Spotify's payments, which he claims amounted to only $45,000 for a billion streams. Spotify has refuted this claim, asserting that such streams typically generate millions for rights holders and suggesting that any payment issues may involve Snoop's management. Tune.FM's founder, Andrew Antar, welcomed Snoop as a key figure in their venture into the Web3 market, coinciding with the release of Snoop's latest single, 'Spaceship Party'. This transition marks a significant shift in Snoop's music distribution strategy, emphasizing artist empowerment within the blockchain space. The rapper's discontent with traditional streaming royalties has been a recurring theme, as he continues to advocate for better compensation for artists.
