streaming fraud

A new class-action lawsuit filed in Virginia alleges that rapper Drake has used his partnership with online casino Stake to finance artificial boosts to his Spotify streams. The complaint, lodged on December 31, 2025, by two Virginia residents, claims Drake conspired with streamer Adin Ross and Australian national George Nguyen in a scheme violating racketeering laws. It seeks at least $5 million in damages and an injunction against the defendants.
