Spotify ENDS R Kelly’s Music Career With Them OVERNIGHT, With New Policy?!?! | Hip Hop News!
Spotify will no longer include the troubled R&B artist R. Kelly on its playlists.
“We are removing R. Kelly’s music from all Spotify owned and operated playlists and algorithmic recommendations such as Discover Weekly,” the online music sharing site told Billboard in a statement. “His music will still be available on the service, but Spotify will not actively promote it. We don’t censor content because of an artist’s or creator’s behavior, but we want our editorial decisions — what we choose to program — to reflect our values. When an artist or creator does something that is especially harmful or hateful, it may affect the ways we work with or support that artist or creator.
