Sexual abuse allegations have watch free movies online | Adult Movies Onlinefollowed R. Kelly for years, but constant pressure from those who vehemently oppose the musician (#MuteRKelly being the latest rallying cry) finally seems to be sparking some change.
Spotify told Billboardon Thursday that the streaming service will stop promoting R. Kelly's music on their playlists and recommendations.

"His music will still be available on the service, but Spotify will not actively promote it. We don’t censor content because of an artist’s or creator’s behavior, but we want our editorial decisions -- what we choose to program -- to reflect our values," it continued. "When an artist or creator does something that is especially harmful or hateful, it may affect the ways we work with or support that artist or creator."
This announcement comes at the heels of Spotify's new public policy, which was cultivated after discussing various definitions of "hate content" with organizations like GLAAD, The Southern Poverty Law Center, and more.
The removal has sparked positive responses from users on Twitter. But it's also brought up questions regarding what the platform — and other services — will plan to do with other controversial artists, like XXXtentacion for example, who have been involved in domestic violence cases, sexual assault, abuse, and more.
