Singer Abdul Hannan’s Spotify and Apple Music accounts have been hijacked by scammers uploading fake or AI-generated music, according to his team.

On Monday, Hannan’s team shared a statement on Instagram, which the artist reposted.

 “Hannan’s streaming accounts are being misused with fake or AI-generated music,” the statement read. “Scammers are trying to profit from unauthorized streams, affecting many artists. We’re working to resolve it quickly.”

The team asked fans to avoid streaming the unauthorized songs and warned that any new music from Hannan will be announced on his official Instagram account. They also urged streaming services like Spotify to address the issue promptly.

An unusual song titled ‘Akha Cilam Cilam Valo’ appeared on Hannan’s Spotify profile, featuring an unrelated individual’s picture as artwork. This song was never announced or released by Hannan.

DAWN's Images has reached out to Spotify for comment but has not received a response yet.
Scams involving streaming accounts are not uncommon. In September, a man in the US was accused of using AI tools and bots to fraudulently stream songs billions of times to earn revenue.
