Rapper Ye, better known by his stage name Kanye West, has come under fire from the CEO of Spotify for his recent comments that have caused controversy. However, he claims that his songs will not be removed off the platform.
Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify, stated that Ye's statements were "just awful," but the streaming service has no plans to remove his music from its catalogue. This comes as a result of widespread calls from music pundits for music streaming services to terminate Ye's subscription and remove the rapper's tracks from their platforms.
Ek pointed out that although Ye's words violated Spotify's policies, the musician's music did not, and it would be up to Ye's record company to decide whether or not to remove his music from the platform.
As a result of the comments he made regarding Jews, Ye has been kicked off of various sponsorships, including an agreement with Adidas that was worth more than $1.5 billion.
