Why isn’t his music completely wiped from streaming sites? I understand with physical media, that’s harder to do but for streaming it should have been taken down ages ago

R. Kelly isn't the only one credited on his music. The people who produced it, mixed it, played instruments, etc... still get royalties.

That's a slippery slope. Many artists are/were terrible people, across mediums. Who draws the line and where?

There's a lot of pos people that made great music. Michael Jackson, Prince, just to name a few. The music didn't commit any crimes. Censorship is a much scarier thing.

What did Prince do? I missed that one or maybe it's been well swept under the rug...

Accused by a few girls abusing them and some of his lyrics were seen as weird and received some backlash, with one lyric saying “I might be tempted to break the law around here” in one of his more sexual songs.

I like the song, just pointing out stuff people on forums have pointed out.

Not talking about his lyrics, he abused women. Piece of shit

And the music is really good.
Maybe the artist is a little messed up.
I feel a bit of guilt when i listen to his music but he has a lot of great songs.

Because the labels can still make money off of it from the people who still stream it no matter what he was convicted of.
