Spotify did remove streams from Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "luther" for botting—235M streams got slashed, dropping it from 500M to 282M after their Super Bowl show. Spotify’s fraud detection team has been cracking down on fake streams hard, and this track got caught in the crossfire. Bots are a real problem in the industry, and artists are feeling the heat.

Around 700k.
Actual debut was 463k without any YouTube data counting in 2026. Fan estimates and the scale of his uncounted U.S. YT streams put the first-week total under the new 1,500 ad-supported ratio near that range. Exact YT split for that week isn’t public.

'Ya Hit (feat. Drake, Travis Scott & Loe Shimmy)' by Future had it's BIGGEST day yet, receiving 1,204,206 streams on Spotify on November 9.

Iceman opened with 463k units (449k from 462.2M streams, almost all paid, plus 14k sales/TEA). YouTube was excluded then.
New rules keep paid at 1k streams = 1 unit but drop free to 1.5k = 1 unit, and bring YouTube back. The free-stream tweak adds only ~6k. YouTube views (est. 40-100M+ for the tracks that week) would add the real lift at the new free rate.
Realistic first-week total under 2027 rules: roughly 500-700k.

⚖️COURT UPDATE⚖️There are several MAJOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS in Linda Luna and Ayah Altayri V. Top Dawg Entertainment, Brandon Tiffith, Anthony Tiffith Jr. and David Harrell's case
The parties filed a new JOINT STATUS REPORT ahead of their November 10, 2026 Status Conference
The case remains set for trial on MAY 17, 2027
The parties confirm that on October 8, the California Court of Appeal REVERSED the trial court’s earlier ruling concerning defendants’ anti-SLAPP motion.
The appellate court directed the trial court to GRANT the motion and STRIKE the plaintiffs’ Sixth Cause of Action for Doxxing
Plaintiffs have until November 17 to seek review from the California Supreme Court.
Once the appellate remittitur issues, TDE says it intends to seek its attorneys’ fees and costs, including fees incurred on appeal.
TDE STILL PLANS SPOLIATION SANCTIONS. Defendants continue to accuse Luna and Altayri of destroying, altering or losing material evidence.
They say the November 2 discovery conference did not resolve the dispute and, absent a resolution, they intend to file a formal motion for SANCTIONS.
TDE says it will also ask the Court for a jury instruction allowing jurors to infer that evidence allegedly willfully suppressed by the plaintiffs would have been unfavorable to them.
The plaintiffs dispute the spoliation allegations.
TDE says a third-party witness described as one of Luna’s former best friends was deposed on September 29.
According to DEFENDANTS, that witness produced recordings in which Luna allegedly👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
• Offered the witness a portion of a potential recovery in exchange for supporting the lawsuit.
• Asked her to characterize ordinary Instagram viewing as pornography at TDE’s office.
• Asked her to “make up” a claim
• Admitted deleting messages she considered unimportant.
• Acknowledged inaccuracies in portions of her allegations.
• Allegedly offered former TDE artist Reason $50,000 to testify favorably.
• Allegedly asked Altayri to lie concerning an incident involving David Harrell.
Those are DEFENDANTS’ characterizations of the witness testimony and recordings and have NOT been adopted as findings by the Court.
The plaintiffs reveal another potentially significant dispute.
They say defendants produced an intimate video of Linda Luna during discovery.
Luna alleges that, as far as she knows, the video could only have originated from a former romantic partner who is NOT a party to the lawsuit.
Plaintiffs say they are now conducting discovery into how defendants obtained the video, who provided it, whether anyone solicited it and whether it was transmitted to anyone else.
If discovery supports their theory, plaintiffs say they may seek permission to amend the lawsuit to add a claim under California’s statute concerning the nonconsensual distribution of intimate material, along with a possible aiding-and-abetting claim.
TDE disputes that theory.
Defendants argue the material was produced in discovery under a protective order and contend that discovery production does NOT constitute unlawful “distribution” under the statute.
Defendants also say they intend to seek SUMMARY JUDGMENT or SUMMARY ADJUDICATION against the remaining claims.
Among other things, TDE says it plans to argue that👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
• Certain claims are barred by statutes of limitation.
• The breach-of-contract claim lacks an enforceable agreement and recoverable damages.
• The negligence claim duplicates the intentional-tort claims.
• There is no triable issue against one or more individual defendants.
Because trial is currently scheduled for May 17, 2027, defendants are asking the Court to reserve a hearing date around April 16, 2027.
The Court has currently ordered the parties to complete ADR by DECEMBER 4, 2026
Plaintiffs say they remain open to mediation.
Defendants say mediation is unlikely to be productive until the sanctions dispute is resolved and are asking to move the ADR deadline until afterward.
