Ghanaian artiste King Paluta has expressed his unhappiness on X after reacting to a post by Boomplay Music Ghana highlighting its most-streamed artistes for the first quarter of 2026.
The streaming platform had shared a celebratory update showcasing its Top 10 most-streamed artistes in Ghana from January to March, praising the performers for their strong numbers and encouraging fans to continue streaming their favourite songs.
But the post quickly took a different turn when King Paluta made a blunt and emotional response that shifted attention away from the chart itself and toward how artistes are treated by streaming platforms.

In his reaction, the rapper wrote: “Yes, but no money!”
He did not stop there. Expressing frustration over what he perceives as unfair treatment, he added: “You people are taking us for granted and it’s sooo wrong ! @BoomplayMusic !!!”
While Boomplay’s post was meant to spotlight streaming success and celebrate Q1 performance, King Paluta’s response redirected attention to long-running concerns within the Ghanaian music industry about how much artistes actually earn from high streaming numbers compared to the visibility those numbers generate.
As of now, Boomplay has not publicly responded to the rapper’s remarks.
