Online Activism[edit]
Due to the popularity of the lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly”, the #MuteR.Kelly campaign has risen in prevalence and has seen R.Kelly charged for his advances onto underage women[1]. Twitter and Facebook have been the lead forces in the spreading of hashtags like #MeToo and #MuteR.Kelly. Streaming services like Spotify have also participated in cancel culture, as Spotify has introduced a blocking feature which allows users to mute artists[2]. The rise of the Mute R.Kelly hashtag has initiated public outcry, as radio stations have vowed to stop playing his music. According to Mediabase, which tracks terrestrial radio stations, plays of Kelly’s music have dropped, from more than 220 “spins” per day in recent months to less than 100 a day after the documentary aired[3]. R.Kelly’s record company, RCA, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, have faced backlash to cancel their contract with R.kelly, after facing constant pressure, they finally parted ways with the singer in 2019.
