Country music star Jelly Roll has announced plans to expose alleged fraudulent practices in the music industry, particularly focusing on fake streaming numbers purchased by major companies.

In a recent social media post, Jelly Roll stated, "Learned a lot about how slimy the music business is this week," supporting earlier claims made by rapper Russ about industry manipulation.

Key allegations include:

• Major record labels purchasing fake streams
• A small group of executives controlling industry success
• Discrepancies between streaming numbers and actual concert attendance
• Streaming manipulation being treated as "marketing expenses"

Russ previously detailed these issues on the "Flagrant" podcast, explaining how approximately four key individuals at major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and radio stations effectively control the industry's direction.

The controversy highlights a growing concern about authenticity in music streaming numbers, with artists questioning how some albums reach #1 while struggling to fill concert venues. While specific details about the streaming manipulation methods remain unclear, both Jelly Roll and Russ suggest this practice is widespread within the industry.
