AKA’s Team Clears The Air On Rogue Spotify Track
AKA’s Team Clears The Air On Rogue Spotify Track. AKA’s management has spoken directly to fans after a song titled “Cocktail” appeared on the rapper’s Spotify profile and ignited fears of a hack. The team said the account is secure and that the upload resulted from a distribution loophole that can route songs to suggested artist profiles without proper verification.
In an official statement by “Vth A” addressed to the Megacy, the team clarified the situation in plain terms: “These tracks seem to only be on Spotify, but we will clean up everywhere else if we come across anything. The Spotify profile has not been hacked. It is a weakness with Spotify that distribution services can deliver content to almost any suggested profiles without restrictions. We are in touch with Spotify to notify us of upcoming cases so that we can intercept them before they go live.”
The appearance of “Cocktail,” which is not an AKA recording, spread quickly through fan circles that monitor the late star’s catalog. Screenshots were shared, streams were discouraged, and requests for an official explanation followed. Within hours the team confirmed the misattribution and began the removal process.

Incidents like this are a side effect of open digital distribution. Aggregators push thousands of independent releases into streaming platforms every day. If metadata is incorrect or opportunists exploit artist name matching, a track can be routed to the wrong profile. The result is a song that looks legitimate to casual listeners even though it does not belong there.
Management says it is tightening safeguards with Spotify and extending the audit to other services to preserve the accuracy of AKA’s catalog. The goal is to protect credits, prevent royalty leakage, and keep historical reporting clean for future certifications and archival projects.
