I submitted the Spotify artist-profile reassignment form again approximately one week ago using the correct email address, but “Me N My Choppa” is still assigned to the incorrect Ai 47 profile.
Could you please confirm that Spotify received the corrected request and that it is still being processed?
We’ve already submitted the request twice to Spotify, so there’s no need to share the links again. It’s up to the shop to take the necessary measures to correct that, so if you notice that at this point still nothing has changed, unfortunately this means that there’s nothing more we can do here.
I spoke with Spotify for Artists support today. They reviewed my case and told me that the reassignment now needs a metadata update from my distributor using my correct Spotify Artist URI, and that iMusician should coordinate directly with Spotify Content Ops to recheck the previously rejected reassignment request.
Spotify also provided my Artist URI for the metadata:
(spotify:artist:5rnZIrorwGBrUsvtxKo1HT)
Could you please submit the metadata update using this Artist URI and coordinate directly with Spotify Content Ops regarding the previously rejected reassignment?
Spotify specifically advised that this is the next step to resolve the issue.
We’ve done exactly that twice already. Spotify has all the elements needed to fix this, including the corect artist URI (spotify:artist:5rnZIrorwGBrUsvtxKo1HT) now it’s up to them to take care of it.
I’m really sorry but there’s nothing more we can do here.
I contacted Spotify for Artists again today. Spotify Support checked my case and confirmed that they have not received any updated request from iMusician regarding my artist profile reassignment.
They asked me to inform you that the distributor should contact Spotify Content directly to resolve this issue.
This is the same re-release we discussed previously. The original release was distributed through DistroKid. I re-released it through iMusician as part of migrating my catalog while preserving the original ISRC and stream history.
The DistroKid version has remained live temporarily only until the iMusician release is correctly mapped to my official Spotify artist profile. Once the migration is complete and everything is assigned correctly, I will remove the DistroKid version.
My current issue is not the re-release itself. The issue is that the iMusician release is still assigned to the wrong Spotify artist profile, and Spotify Support informed me today that they have not received an updated reassignment request from the distributor.
It doesn’t matter, this is more important as it relates to ownership and monetization rights.
Please proceed with the takedown with Distrokid immediately otherwise we will have to do it on our end. You cannot distribute the same track through two different distributors on the same shops simultaneously. This may also explain why Spotify is refusing to process our requests.
I will need an immediate onfirmation from you that the Distrokid takedown will be effective within the next 48h, otherwise we will be required to stop the distribution immediately.
I have now submitted the DistroKid takedown request for the original release. The takedown is processing with the stores. Please keep the iMusician release active and continue with the Spotify artist profile reassignment.
We re-sent a third and last request to Spotify. If you don’t see any change in the next 2-3 weeks, then unfortunately it’ll confirm that there is nothing more we can do on that regard.
