A thread explaining the whole Ariana / Kris Wu mess with RECEIPTS because Iām tired of people speaking nonsense without knowing what happened.
First of all, before we get into the Ariana/Kris day Iām going to talk about what happened in May. BTS released Fake Love. Kris blocked them from #1 on US iTunes. Billboard filtered the real sales, BTS debuted #1 on Billboard sales. armys said vpn was involved. No one listened.
Now weāre moving onto the day Thank u, next was released. Kris was #1 on iTunes. He was #1 in the US ONLY and barely even charting anywhere else. Ariana was charting everywhere and #1 in most but the US weāre he was #1. Definitely weird for a non-US artist.
Then Kworb said that he sold 14M sales in a day which is impossible. Thatās when stans realized something was going on.
Scooter came online & as many fans suspected of something weird going on he said it was bots. He called iTunes to notify them what was happening. Thatās the ONLY tweet Ariana liked about the issue that day. (KPOP STANS SAYIN THAT SHE LIKED OTHER STUFF PLEASE SHOW THE RECEIPTS)
False claims were posted about his music being removed from iTunes, Kpop stans attacked Ariana for it. When in fact his music dropped 100 spots on iTunes after they filtered the suspicious activity. His label posted a statement confirming that his music hadnāt been removed.
Scooter went on and on tweeting stuff but Ariana had nothing to do with it so i donāt care, drag his ass for being annoying. In the end he posted this on IG and thats when stans realized what was actually going on. His fans in China had been using VPN to buy on US iTunes.
VPN is illegal on iTunes. iTunes filtered the sales and his songs dropped because the sales were coming from outside the US. Billboard also filters sales. Krisā album was predicted to debut at #5 and ended up debuting at #100 after vpn sales were filtered.
His Chinese fans planned this on Weibo. Were he has 44M fans. In China thereās no iTunes so they decided to target iTunes US. Keep in mind that this is the second time theyāve done this, it also happened back in May. His fans also came online to defend him with VPN on...
Also hereās the Billboard sales chart of that week. Thank u, next is #1 and his songs are no where to be found since Billboard filtered VPN out. https://www.billboard.com/charts/digital-song-sales/2018-11-17
Iāve seen a bunch of Kpop stans acuse Ariana of being racist when the only thing she did is like a tweet saying that Scooter did what he had to do aka call iTunes and get LEGALLY her #1 back. It had nothing to do with Krisā race. The only people at fault here are his fans.
Whatās funny is that Kpop stans jumped to acuse Ariana of things without legitimate receipts but stayed mute when BTS got their #1 stolen via Kris Wu fans with VPN even when armys said something was going on.
Conclusion: Kris Wu fans stole Arianaās #1 via VPN which is illegal and got him dragged for it. Ariana had nothing to do with it, only that she happened to expose the fake sales due to releasing with him. So leave her alone, she didnāt do anything. Fake Love deserved #1.
