Lil Mosey’s “Blueberry Faygo” has never been officially released. That hasn’t stopped a series of impostors from uploading it to Spotify, and making money in the process
A leak of Lil Mosey's "Blueberry Faygo" is popular on YouTube, TikTok, and — before it was removed — Spotify.’s Viral 50 chart, which logs the fastest-growing songs on the streaming platform, was overrun by imposters.
All these artists are fake, and each posted a creatively titled bootleg of a song that has not yet been released: “Blueberry Faygo,” by the 18-year-old rapper. While the artists are made up, the popularity of “Blueberry Faygo” is very real. One version of the song that was still on Spotify last week, attributed to an artist named Bennjp, had nearly 22 million streams, meaning it netted the uploader over $100,000 — cash that should’ve ended up in Lil Mosey’s pocket.
Streaming services have consistently struggled to prevent users from uploading leaks on to their platforms; there’s just too much music being uploaded daily to prevent some frauds from slipping past the safeguards.
