Zambian music star Yo Maps Yo has stirred major controversy after revealing shocking details about unpaid royalties on Boomplay.
Speaking via The Mijedo Corner, the singer confessed that he deliberately blocked certain artists from receiving payments, claiming he was behind the platform’s introduction in Zambia.
According to Yo Maps, many artists who insulted or disrespected him were denied their rightful royalties, as he had control over their portals when Boomplay was first introduced.
This revelation comes after several Zambian artists, including Jemax, expressed frustration over unpaid royalties despite massive streaming success. Jemax’s Boogyman album alone boasts over 50 million streams, yet the rapper has publicly complained about not receiving any payments.
This bombshell has sparked heated debate across the Zambian music industry. Fans and fellow artists are questioning the fairness and professionalism behind such actions, while others are calling for transparency and accountability from both Yo Maps and Boomplay.
