The Swedish group of music online Spotify announced that have removed the music artist R. Kelly from his playlists, Thursday, may 10, citing its new charter on the contents and behaviors of hate. This decision was taken ten days after the appeal of the movement Time s Up to “cut ties” with the singer, accused of sexual violence for several years.
It is the first case of the application of the new charter of Spotify, which now reserves the right to modify the exposure of an artist on his platform based on criteria unrelated to his music.
