• Samantha Irvin Says YouTube Has Shadow Banned Her Music Video
Former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin recently released her music video “Shawty Wanna.” However, she’s facing issues as her video has been shadow banned (not being recommended to people).
Here’s what she tweeted:
“Welp, my music video is completely shadow banned on YouTube.”
Her husband, AEW wrestler Ricochet, tweeted:
“Hey @youtube, why doesnt @SamanthaTheBomb’s video pop up when I type ‘Samantha The Bomb Shawty Wanna Music Video’???
Seems fishy.”
YouTube saw Samantha’s tweet and replied:
“We understand how important this is for you. We’ll look into it and check to see what’s happening here.”
Samantha later noted that a lot of her haters reported her video, which most likely resulted in this issue:
“Oh a lot of them did, they were bragging in the comments.”
