Spotify and Apple Music face pressure to remove D4vd songs after murder and abuse charges

Spotify and Apple Music face intense scrutiny after D4vd, the singer, was charged with a series of criminal cases that have left the public horrified. This is after the singer was accused of murdering and sexually abusing a 14-year-old named Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Due to this reason, there are several voices that call for his music being taken down from all streaming platforms. The debate has spread very fast and many people are signing petitions against the singer.

A group called Industry Blackout has started a petition on Change.org, asking platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to stop hosting D4vd’s music. They say it is not right to continue promoting or earning money from an artist facing such serious charges. Some of his former collaborators have already removed their work linked to him. At the same time, his songs are still available on streaming apps, which has added more fuel to the public discussion.
