Same have done a few in 5 minutes to 15 minutes but they were based on noteworthy people with good press. Someone which everyone would know or would deserve to be verified.
There is a reason why IG is doing that. Lets be honest. ALOT of people who is verified abuse this mark to scam others which is something i saw MANY times. its sad to see others fall of it too. As for Music part i believe everyone is doing the same method and that is why its happening.
Trust me IG might change the rules of IG and request to show TV interviews instead of PR next time lol

There is a form about removing badges. It can get away a bagde in minutes

Well this is been going on for about 4 weeks now, people have been c&d for it. Not gonna mention names but just rn famous artistâs manager confirmed me with his rep the whole mess started an audit for this category
Not talking about any email here, people been c&d in this and itâs better to not talk about it in depth.
I wanted to inform it thats it. No interest in disclosing the whole mess

"But what answer is that?
Itâs been hours that you persist in saying âI heard from â however, I canât give proof,â come on, youâre not an authoritative source, youâre not the BBC or CNN, so why should anyone believe what you say?"And Iâm not saying youâre a liar, but one has to hold on to something solid and with evidence
Anyway At the moment I have only one client sent with submission, however it was sent as real (i.e. I paid for real, not for fake) and of course it was removed 3h ago, but I am waiting for response from the provider, who is a new one here providing verifications ; another one i did with Abstract, from scratch, apparently still verified

No point in giving out names sorry! I guess I shouldnât have updated here.
If you have some idea of what is been going on off-site I would have given you more information but itâs just better to put it this way that, fake musician method ainât secure anymore 
I can send 80 profiles in your inbox which were debadged in last 4 days.
Not everyone going to lose theirs right away idk how it all works cuz I never worked at IG but I think slowly they are gonna look at everything with time.
This is nothing new, anything which is done in masses on IG always end up dirty letâs be honest about it.
