When I first backed up to my new phone, I was pressing “cancel” on literally about 250 Apple ID sign-in attempts. I later realized that they were the IDs that were used by music sharers to purchase the music I’ve illegally downloaded. They’ve all disappeared... except for one. One shows up multiple times a day (and almost exclusively when I’m using Tinder, oddly enough) even though I did a lengthy search and the Apple ID in question only purchased one song in my iTunes, which I’ve since deleted. Still, the issue persists. What should I do?

What do you mean by "IDs that were used by music sharers"? Have you changed your password? Have you removed unauthorized devices from your account?
These IDs were used by people I don't know, who purchased iTunes albums and then uploaded them to the internet for them to be shared. My phone is brand new.
If it’s caused by your pirated music then perhaps stop loading the pirated music into iTunes. Delete all music from your iTunes and out of iCloud storage and see if the issue persists.
