After Spotify made the announcement they would be removing XXXTENTACION and R. Kelly’s music from their editorial and algorithmic playlists, 50 Cent hit Twitter to defend the embattled artists.
Soon after, R. Kelly retweeted it and thanked 50 for his support.
Though X didn’t respond to 50’s tweet, a rep for the rapper reached out to several media outlets stating, “I don’t have a comment, just a question. Will Spotify remove all the artists listed below from playlists?” The list included Michael Jackson, Dr. Dre and 17 other musicians with allegations of sexual misconduct or physical violence written next to their names.
Shortly after, R. Kelly’s management team addressed Spotify’s new policy too.
Along with R. Kelly and XXXTENTACION, Tay-K’s music was also removed from multiple playlists. The rapper, who is currently facing murder charges, was not happy about Spotify’s decision.
Spotify has said artists will be delisted on a case-by-base basis.

Spotify is a company, they can do wtf they want with their company, the same way an artist can remove his songs from Spotify.
Kelly or xxx wasn’t found guilty of anything,but that list xxx shot back to Spotify,makes you question Spotify reason for the questionable action they took upon those two artist,rather you like their music or not,it’s wrong on all levels!
So you telling there is no proof that R.Kelly pissed on a minor??
According to the law? No there isn’t. He was found not guilty……..no one has proven that the girl in the video was minor (exact reason he was found not guilty
Well everybody know that kelly ass is guilty! It’s sad that he didn’t have to pay for that! He should’ve been shut down way b4 now!!
Who’s everybody? What an Asinine, Ignorant Statement! Speak for yourself. Everyone has an opinion, like your asshole, everyone has one! STFU!!
If all the little girls that r. kelly has raped will come forward, he will do a lot of time like Bill Cosby is about to.
STFU
50 was trolling lmao
I don’t think so. 50 and R. Kelly got a good working relationship (and so does many other artist)….other’s just care more about their public persona than 50 does. 50 always stand up for people he has good relationships with.
Sadly this is what 50s career has become ….. Trolling!!!! Damm’ 50 you used to be Man ……
he’s always been trolling but at one point he was actually known for making music too
He still make good music he dropped the kanan tape n he has been dropping singles fir the past 2 years which are fire you just chose not to listen
Go to youtube and ser 50 cent 2018 or 17 n look at tge singles he dropped that are fire
Guilty until proven innocent is – reprehensibly – the public paradigm in the age of social media. It’s bad enough your name and mugshot are public record before you’re proven guilty (irreversibly tainting the innocently accused) – but now companies like Spotify are treating people like they’re guilty when they may not have done anything wrong. In the case of the artists Spotify targeted, they most likely did it – but X’s rep’s list makes a really great point, and people need to speak up. This is not even getting into “separating the art from the artist” – we don’t have to go that far to criticize what Spotify has done.
deffinetly well said its a brainwashed society social media has destroyed many lives and leeds ppl to cast judgement prematurely.
R. Kelly was onvideo pissin on a minor… If they can go back 40 yrs and convict Cosby, R. Kelly is the next one of the me too movement chopping block!!!
He was already tried and found not guilty. Double jeopardy says they can’t go back. They trying to find new cases, problem is they can’t find any.
Tell me when white ppl start getting banned
Spotify just opened a can of worms they wont be rdy 4
X’s manager had posted a list of artists that have all been hit with certain accusations. I wonder how PC Spotify will treat those artists. Kelly, X and Tay-K have all been hit with this “hateful conduct policy” bullshit. PC Spotify is only gonna lose money that way. You’re selling music, not personal lives. Get your head out of your asses.
the other people that they showed were white thats why there still therere
Damn near half of those people are NOT white. What are you rambling about, there are 2 white people from Seal down.
Get rid of those scumbags’ content. Delete everything. They contribute nothing of value to civilization and what they contribute to art is overshadowed and contradicted by their misconduct in the real world. If you let them play on might as well cue up Charles Manson’s albums too. Sure why not.
Fuk u
Spotify feel Dem is judge an jury.let Dem hul dey mudacunt.artist have been thriving before an will contiafter them.they fuckin stupid.accusations aren’t facts stupid ass bitches
If all the little girls that r.kelly raped came forward, he will be doing a lot of years like Bill Cosby is about to do. That money will only get you so far.
I’m excited they doing this, fuck them and their music holds Nooo contribution at all.
then even block what we say alot free speech saport my lyrics uncle josh c-LIFE sound cloud one LUV free C-murda campaign
Niggxs need educations. Not rap Trax to diss over.
It Begins. Taking away the rights to listen to whatever artists we choose to listen to because of allegations is wrong on every level. Even if they have been charged that is their personal life and has nothing to do with music. If anything ban the artists that talk about doing drugs, murdering, sleeping around and things like that. R. Kelly makes love music. If wants to have a binch of women and they now call it a sex cult that is his business. If Xxxtencion wants to whip a b**** then that is his life and has nothing to do with music. IJS controlling what we can listen to….What’s next controlling what we watch, controlling what we eat, controlling our minds. They can’t think for all of us. R. Kelly has yet be proven guilty on any of the so called allegations. Leave them alon
Agreed!
These are the kinda of things that happen when let SJW run your business
Just stop supporting Spotify that simple once they see no one is going to there site or purchasing anything on there site maybe it will force them out of business ??????
Dick sorry Kelly I got love for you but you did pee on a minor had numerous women under age ala Aaliyah fucken sick and XXX beat the shit out of a pregnant woman and we supposed to act like she made her eyes that purple by herself? For extortion or some bs reason and don’t get me started about that dumbass kid Kay slay who actually rapped about what he did on a song lol he’s going be a lifer lol but I agree with XXX’s team they should take down Dre’s , fabs, etc too if they want to take it there
Yes, but then music is separate from someones personally life unless they want to put it in. and im sure XX barely/at all does that
Spotify is stupid for removing xxxtentacion, 50 cent, and r. kelly
they didnt remove 50 he just needed something to tweet about
this dumb asf . we deleting music off spotify now because of the artist backdown ? when the fucc did we start doing that ?
backgrown*
Background, Lilmomma!
Youtube now Spotify. Well i dont even use that shit but i like X’s shit really gud stuff. These guys actin reall Capitalist wit there shiit, Like Music and life actions is, (im pretty sure) is different form each other, tho unless the musician wants to mix them together. X JF song was the shiit along with gospel
Shit like this is why Trump won #MAGA
They aren’t removing their music from Spotify at all. They are just removing them from playlist and marketing. R. Kelly’s, XXX’s and Tay K’s music will still be available to listen to. Ya’ll need to learn to read and comprehend.
