Original Note:
Kendrick Lamar did not threaten to pull his music from platforms [solely for R. Kelly]. The ban included XXXTentacion also. Top Dawg CEO told platforms if they were to censor hip-hop artists of any kind, he would remove all his artists too. This includes Kendrick Lamar. https://pitchfork.com/news/kendrick-label-head-confirms-he-threatened-to-pull-music-from-spotify/ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/kendrick-label-boss-confirms-he-threatened-to-pull-music-from-spotify-hateful-content/ https://www.okayplayer.com/music/top-dawg-pull-kendrick-lamar-music-spotify-xxxtentacion.html
