R. KELLY TO SPOTIFYMY SONGS AREN'T ABOUT 'HATE'!!!It's BS to Censor Me
R. Kelly is calling out Spotify for what he calls its hypocritical move to yank his tunes from all playlists.
Kelly's team fired back at Spotify's decision to stop promoting his music on their playlists while allegations he's running a sex cult continue to swirl. His managers say the streaming service is "bowing to social-media fads" and "picking sides in a fame-seeking dispute."
a source close to Spotify told me XXXTentacion's music has also been removed from Spotify playlists.
"Spotify has been practicing some version of the policy for sometime. Today is the first time they've publicly communicated it," they said. buzzfeed.com/krystieyandoli…

Most importantly, they point out, Kelly has not been charged with a crime, and doesn't have any pending criminal charges against him. They add, Spotify's new "Hate Content & Hateful Conduct" policy has no relevance to Kelly's love songs -- especially when the service continues to feature artists who are "convicted felons," and whose lyrics promote violence against women.
BTW, XXXTentacion's getting the same treatment from Spotify. One of his reps sent a letter to a NY Times writer in which she names names of other artists who've been accused of sexual misconduct. Important to note, most have denied the allegations and very few have been criminally charged.
Spotify tells me that the new R. Kelly playlist/promotion ban also includes XXXTentacion, who was on Rap Caviar yesterday but not today (case-by-case basis, they say) nytimes.com/2018/05/10/art… pic.twitter.com/yuUpoeprPX
