Apple follows the &#039;ban&#039; trend on Hip hop artist Kanye West amidst controversies

Did Apple Music Just Remove Kanye West’s Playlist to Join the Ongoing ‘Ban’ Moment?

The ban on Kanye West has rotten his relationship with Apple. The singer is
facing increased criticism in light of his continuous online statements. While
he has not been completely blocked from social media platforms, people are fast
distancing themselves from the artist. He has so far enjoyed the celebrity
privilege by expressing his views, however harsh they may be.

Even companies have kept mum as a result of him being a cash cow. But in the
light of his recent anti-semitic comments, fashion houses, especially
German-born Adidas, have been forced to reconsider their relationship with the
designer. Joining the basket of the ban is Apple Music, which has taken its own
steps.


HOW APPLE TOOK A BITE OUT OF THEIR KANYE WEST PLAYLIST

Kanye West may be a good musician, but he is more famous for his share of
publicity stunts. For a long time, the singer’s opinions have been neglected,
considering his right to free speech. In a wave of criticism, Apple has joined
in by taking its own action

application had previously curated lists for Ye fans called ‘Kanye West
Essentials’ and ‘Kanye West Video Essentials.’ The playlists have now been
removed.

However, his entire discography still remains on the platform. Fans will only
discover the curated list not appearing on the search bar. This step from the
company was rather a quiet one, but it is loud for a music application. So far,
it was the design houses that broke ties, but music is West’s main profession.

It remains to be seen how the musician deals with the increasing ban over him,
as it could also lead to a financial crisis. Do you think he should change his
tactics to protect his career or do you believe in his vision and opinions?
