Spotify removes R.Kelly from Its Playlists

[VIBE]

"His music will still be available on the service, but Spotify will not actively promote it."

read the gotdamn articles

So, they would’ve just removed their music from any Spotify playlist that they would’ve created, right? But they aren’t removing any music nor blocking anyone from making a playlist?

So what’s the issue?

Spotify not banning all convicted sexual offenders is the bigger issue. Consistency is key

R Kelly is a pervert and has a problem but if they play step in the name of love at a BBQ got damnit in a step

I don't want to hear anything else from niggas about white people condemning Donald Trump when R. Kelly still receives this kind of support in 2018.

It might be.

But from what I know about white people, by and large, they don't like R&B especially from Black artists. And R. Kelly's corefan support is, and has always been black women specifically.

You and I both know white people don't identify with black people.

I'm sure somewhere in America they're making some contrived distinction between black pedos and white pedos. Same with black #MeToo victims and white #MeToo victims.

Not enough black ppl on that streaming site

Not enough black ppl on that streaming site

I don't know the demographic breakdown of the app.

But from reading the article, it's not saying that R. Kelly broke some kind of record, just that his streams increased since they took him off the recommended playlists. That just means that the people who already listen to him, started listening alot more.

Yup, just as Spotify planned. Send fall for the "we care" act and get the good press while others (for various reasons) actively search and play R. Kelly's music in defiance because it's not deleted so Spotify gets it's numbers up.

Who really thought this would hamper R. Kelly's streams? Who could be THAT dumb?

c/s this post......R Kelly's recent spike in his catalogue being played is a primary example of the Barbara Streisand effect.
