50 Cent has publicly defended R.Kelly after Spotify confirmed plans to stop promoting the singer’s music.
Yesterday, Spotify announced that it is removing R Kelly‘s music from its editorial or algorithmic playlists amid a string of sexual misconduct allegations faced by the star.
But the policy has attracted a major critic in Fiddy, who attacked the streaming service for stopping future promotion of Kelly, as well as rapper XXXTentacion.
“Spotify is wrong for what there doing to artists like R. Kelly and XXXTentacion,’ the 42-year-old rapper wrote on Twitter.
Spotify is wrong for what there doing to artist like R Kelly and xxxtentacion. There not even convicted of any thing.

“There not even convicted of anything [sic].”
The support was then reposted on Kelly’s own Instagram.
“Thanks for the support fam! No weapon formed”, Kelly wrote.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”
Last year, R&B singer Kelly was accused of running an “abusive and controlling cult” of young women. This March, R&B performer Kelly was accused of grooming a 14 year-old girl to be his sex “pet”.
Then, in April, Dallas police confirmed they were investigating claims that Kelly gave a woman a STD and plied her with drugs and alcohol when she was 19. He has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
