(SOURCE: XXL) Women’s rights organization Ultraviolet penned a letter (May 15) to Spotify applauding their removal of R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from curated playlists as part of their new hateful conduct policy. The group also requests that the streaming service take things a step further and remove numerous artists including Chris Brown, Eminem, Nelly and 6ix9ine, among others, who have allegedly been connected to abusing women in the past.
“Thank you for taking the important first step of removing infamous abusers R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from your official playlists,” the statement begins. “Your action demonstrates that Spotify is following the lead of Black women who demanded that these two men, who have sexually and physically abused women for years, not be promoted and celebrated.” via XXL
