All is fair in music and streaming. At least it is now.
Roddy Ricch's song "The Box" is now comfortably sitting at the top of the Billboard charts. The single hit number one on both Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts.
Ricch took to Twitter to celebrate his victory, but not without a little shade. This past week Justin Bieber called out to fans asking them to stream his song "Yummy" in order to keep it at the top of the charts.
He even reposted a fan-made hack suggesting that international fans purchase a VPN, set it to "American" and stream "Yummy" as they sleep. But Bieber's efforts fell short and Ricch didn't let him forget it.
At the announcement of his top charting position, Richh tweeted "stream yummy by justin bieber ----."
Bieber seemed to take it well, but the Twitter had other feelings.
Thanks everyone. So thankful. #yummy. @RoddyRicch You had to go and make a banger smh! Haha ur the man!! Love the song!! congrats on your first #1!! Everyone go stream #thebox https://t.co/sut7ZA5A0d

Regardless, both records bring the heat.
