Women Right Organisation Ultralight Wants Spotify To Take Down Chris Brown's Songs From Official Playlists
Chris Brown's songs on digital music streaming platform Spotify are at risk of being taking down, as a women right movement Ultraviolet has written a letter to the platform's CEO Daniel Ek asking him to listen to their plight.
The organisation wants every songs that belong to artists who has been accused of sexual assault like the "Freaky Friday" singer, 6ix9ine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Eminem and any others to be taking down from the platform's official playlists.
In the letter, the organisation through it chief executive Shaunna Thomas, thanked the platform's chief executive for removing famous artists like R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from its playlists as it shows support for women.
"Thank you for taking the important first step of removing infamous abusers R. Kelly and XXXTentacion from your official playlists. Your action demonstrates that Spotify 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."
Stating the reasons for wanting more to come by the platform, the organisation says whenever a sexual abuser songs is played it aggravates situations and put the survivors of abuser precarious conditions.
"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," the letter reads.
Last week, Spotify took down songs of RnB singer R Kelly from it official playlists for alleged sexual assault using a 'sex cult' to hold women hostage at his resident where he controls every thing about them and how they live daily.
