Spotify has yanked R. Kelly from its promoted playlists and recommendations for listeners, following more accusations of sexual misconduct against the 51-year-old R&B singer.
Listeners can still stream his music on their own volition, but the Swedish streaming giant will no longer spotlight his music after two more women accused him of predatory behavior in a BuzzFeed report published last week.
“We are removing R. Kelly’s music from all Spotify owned and operated playlists and algorithmic recommendations such as Discover Weekly. His music will still be available on the service, but Spotify will not actively promote it,” the company told TheWrap in a statement.
