After allegations came out against R. Kelly for sexual abuse and paedophilia, many were looking to the big names and companies to see how they would handle the situation.
Artists began removing their collaborations while others stood up for him. However, one company that is going further than the rest is Spotify. As for how, the music streaming service has set out to try and combat the lack of response people have after creative's immoral antics come out. Specifically, a recently-tested function could be getting a wider release in which the app offers users the option to completely mute an artist. Consequently, the person's name nor music will be able to reach you, even if they are simply featuring on a record.
Not much else is currently known regarding the update so we will have to wait and see what happens, if you want to be the first to know then make sure you stay tuned.
