Mishaal Tamer is a Saudi-Ecuadorian singer and songwriter who has been gaining international attention for his pop music, which spans multiple languages and markets. While the artist has gained global visibility in the past couple of years, Spotify users in Nigeria say the exposure feels less organic.
Nigerian Spotify users say Mishaal Tamer’s songs like “ITTY BITTY” and “SUPERMAN” keep auto-playing, appearing prominently on homepages, and allegedly bypassing block settings, even for Premium subscribers.
Complaints date back to November 2025, with some users questioning how the tracks continue charting locally amid claims of aggressive promotion. Many have tagged Spotify Africa seeking clarification, reporting little to no response.
Listeners differ on what the exact cause of this could be. Some believe it is a glitch from Spotify, while other subscribers have chalked it up to an aggressive marketing tactic.
Upon reaching out to Spotify for comment, we were informed that the glitch had been resolved. However, some users continue to report similar experiences, saying the problem persists.
