Women's Advocacy Group Wants Spotify to Also Pull Chris Brown, Eminem & Others From Curated Playlists

Women?s advocacy group Ultraviolet is applauding Spotify?s new policy banning hate content and hateful conduct that has brought with it high profile removals of R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from curated playlists, but in an open letter published Monday (May 14) is also asking for more.

As well as R. Kelly and XXXTentacion, the letter written by Ultraviolet executive director Shaunna Thomas requests that Spotify take action against other artists who have been accused of sexual misconduct, including Chris Brown, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nelly, Eminem and others.

?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. That has a cultural effect far beyond one individual artist,? wrote Thomas.

She added that Spotify?s action demonstrates the company "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.?

Ultraviolet hopes the open letter will inspire other music platforms to follow in Spotify?s footsteps.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem and Nelly raped someone?

While I agree that some of these people are assholes and abusers, it?s still interesting how they want Spotify to take actions due to allegations. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Or is it because the allegations are so many that there must be some truth to it?
