In the wake of Spotify’s newly-launched Hate Content and Hateful Conduct public policy, women’s advocacy group Ultraviolet has called on the streaming service to take more action.
Following the removal of R. Kelly and XXXTENTACION from curated playlists, Ultraviolet has asked Spotify CEO Daniel Ek to address other artists on the platform who have been accused of domestic abuse and sexual misconduct.
“These two men are not the only abusers on your platform,” Ultraviolet Executive Director Shaunna Thomas wrote in an open letter. “We implore you to take a deeper look at the artists you promote.”
The letter lists a few artists who “continue to profit from [Spotify’s] promotion.” Eminem, Tekashi 6ix9ine, Nelly, Chris Brown, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Steven Tyler and Don Henley were named as examples.
“Every time a famous individual continues to be glorified despite allegations of abuse, we wrongly perpetuate silence by showing survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence that there will be no consequences for abuse,” she wrote. “That has a cultural effect far beyond one individual artist.”
Spotify hasn’t commented on the letter at this time. The streaming service has said it will evaluate artists on an individual basis as part of its Hate Content and Hateful Conduct policy.
These advocasy groups are nohthing more than useful idiots of the zionist financial elite. Those at the top of the pyrami don’t give a fuck about the lyrical content, none of that shit. Buth they have agenda.. First kill freedome of speech then introduce gun control. This of course means that you are not allowed to say anything that doesnt follow the the “official narrative” dictated by the very same zionist financial elite. It’e easy when you control the world’s money supply. Thansk to fractional reserve banking these private owned central banks can make money out of thin air and loan it with interest to the goverments . And then the government does as told, because otherswise the debt collector says they need the money back right now. Or better yet, they do as the bolsheviks (jevvish-led, btw) and overnight make your currency lose all its value.
You are a sick pup you know you sound like an absolute maniac to normal people right? Go make yourself a mayo milkshake and stfu aiight?
Those bitches should find a better use of their Time this planet.
Lol shit back fired, if Spotify was smart they wouldn’t try and save the world to gain subscribers. Now if they ignore them they will be promoting Eminem and other artists accused. They got their hands too messy to make a clean wipe.
Real talk : I know these women be crazy, but they won’t stop. Lol Here goes Nothing
Feminism is cancer
Spotify isn’t going to like this, the ‘other’ artists are getting singled out now.. Not just the ‘hip hop’ crowd.. Stupid move Spotify.
Somebody needs to punch these feminists in the throat, they’ve become a parody of themselves – why can’t bitter old reptiles just mind their own business?
It’s what y’all get spotify! You want to remove certain artist, now the feminist want you to remove even more artist. You lose. Spotify will die a death of a thousand cuts.
This exactly…they fucked themselves getting on their high horse and removing R. Kelly, now they can deal with the mob. I enjoy few things more than watching people put their foot in their mouths on some bullshit like this. Spotify just learned that catering to the “mob” only ends badly. Now they’re gonna get dragged by the same people they were superficially trying to win over
Spotify messed up…they are in a lose lose situation now
f+ck freemasones
I get why for Tekashi 6ix9ine. But for Eminem and Everyone else. They stopped doing it along time ago cause they have a family to take care of
I’m actually a chick myself, and these artists don’t offend me at all. These feminists groups need to stop overstepping their boundaries. Heck, just today, I listened to Shake That on Spotify. On loop. I understand these ladies want their “rights” but surprisingly, some of these allegations aren’t even real.
Back off, feminist groups.
Seriously, just get out of my music habits.
Ok, thanks.
69 and Kelly have history/accusations of sexual abuse. Eminem doesn’t. Back the fuck off bitches!
Also, 69 is a nobody and R. Kelly’s career is beyond dead at this point, so whatever. But good luck removing the music of one of the biggest stars in music today (and arguably ever) from that bitch.
Did anyone else see the picture and think eminem was the head female of the advocacy group and then squint and realize it was marshall mathers?
No, it’s just you bruh.
Lol white people will defend their Eminem
I defend what’s right. I’m not white either. If you are a man you should be defending men. Considering you are a black man/not white man… you automatically look like a predator to people. If you aren’t wouldn’t you want support?
Or people that simply like Eminem. Why do you have to make it a race thing?
The problem with feminist groups is that they have double standards. Destroy men and say nothing about the woman in entertainment that willingly say things that can bring them trouble. I’m a woman and neither side deserves to be abused in anyway. Women today will punch kick and berate men just as badly.
However, what does Eminem have to do with this. Because of his lyrics. Other than that nothing has came against him except what he claims he did with an apology. What do they want? People to be torn all of the way down or people to create change. At what point are women accountable. Feminist make it hard for women who don’t want to always look like potential victims. They will have to take down almost all of rap. Spotify will be sued soon enough for damaging artists livelihoods. They should have waited for the perv R. Kelly to go to trial first. However, he shouldn’t have name dropped either. That was petty and made him look like a whiny baby tattling on his siblings. It will be Usher next for giving “innocent” women STD’s.
Word. Why not call out women like Nicki Minaj for talking about slapping bitches in her songs too? Why is there only men on the list.
Dear women’s group, just delete your spotify account and log off the internet. Its that simple! Now let others enjoy things
This is the downfall of America. These women want to censor everything. Spotify played themselves. But this is a dangerous thing just like the me-too movement. It starts with spotify and before you know they will censor every artists. Eventually they will ban movies with much violence.
I deleted spotify if this is the route you’re going to take go ahead, but I will continue to listen to the music I like. I am willing to die to protect my freedom of speech and art. They don’t want to get in this fight.
Yeah I bet they real scared you lmao stfu punk
Someone’s butt hurt
So ban every artist who’s ever been accused of misconduct? Either all or none.
Good job PC Spotify. Look where banning R Kelly, X and Tay-K led you? Now you gotta deal with feminist and women’s advocacy groups that want more artists banned. Being the snowflakes they are, they’re gonna run with it too. They’re losing subscribers by doing what they think is “right” instead of leaving the artists be and letting people listen to what they wanna listen to. PC Spotify is gonna be dead before you know it.
Ahaha you mean eminems most pathetic PR stunt in hiphop history backfired?!?!
my name is
my name is what?
Says the retard that cannot distinguish a J from an I
Fucking censorship by a women’s group. The pussy posse is at it again.
spotify isnt to big to fall. this is a touchy situation they got there self into.
I Just Slapped Tha Shytt Outta My Girl Last Nite.. Keep Ur Mouth Closed ??
I see DX deleted my comment. Seems like they support this bullshit.
Yo fuck this women group and plus who tf cares abt if songs have sexual lyrics it’s not like there gonna do shit to women and like it’s how they sing and everything but if Spotify removes these rappers then people are barely gonna use Spotify and they won’t make money but Spotify should just tell this “women advocacy group” fuck them
Rip Spotify about to lose alot of users.
Did my last comment not get posted? Is this the only comment people can see from me?
Wow it looks like it. It stayed at 39 readers in the discussion and didn’t switch to 40 until I posted the comment I’m replying on. What’s up DX? You just let me think out my post for 30 mins for nothing. Was it too long? I don’t see no limit to the length of your post. Was it the content? I thought it was a neutral statement. I see trolls bashing harshly for no reason, so it wasn’t the content. So why wasn’t my post uploaded DX? I’ve slowly been leaning away from this website because you guys don’t post as much music daily as you used to; sometimes you’ll go a couple days without posting a new song. Whatever the reason for not allowing my post, I think you guys are becoming too watered down for me. You guys aren’t about the underground anymore. Only time you throw up the underground music is your “7 underground sounds you need to listen to” or whatever the fuck it’s called. You’re just a bunch of Kanye West’s now.
If you dont like their music……….DONT LISTEN. The rest of us want to hear it. Stop complaining about every little thing you dont like. You cant always have it your way. Grow up, there are much bigger concerns in the world.
Like what should and shouldn’t be allowed on Spotify lol
He wrote rock bottom so spotify should be obliged to keep him on their platform.
