Artists that use the same name as other Artists

[jakegerb]

This is such a big issue. And non of the Spotify employees really heard me out on this. 

Artists that got their "identity stolen" that I remember from the top of my head without even looking on Spotify again. 
- Racer X
- Slash
- UFO

-JET (yes the ones with are you gonna be my girl. I get a russian artist with the same name and incredibly shitty music once in a while on my release radar)
- Clueso

there are countless others I encountered by coincidence, but the most I find are on my release radar. Like every week there is a song on my release radar that is not supposed to be there. It is so annoying. Here is a scumbag that used the famous German Artist Clueso this week for example:

pretty famous scheme on spotify in the meantime. I don't even want to know how many cheating artists get income they don't deserve from plays from users that really didn't want to listen to their scam songs in the first place. 

You don't believe me, and never experienced those issues yourself?
here are a couple of threads where countless others report the same problem:
