Still Listening to Problematic Musicians?

1. Before we dive into the fray, let me confess: my musical tastes are as eclectic as they come. From Doja Cat's latest beats to classic reggae vibes, my playlist is a veritable smorgasbord of sound. I have something from every genre.

 

2. Now, let's address the elephant in the room: should we continue to support artists who have committed heinous acts? It's a loaded question, with no easy answers. While boycotting their music may feel like a righteous stance, the reality is a bit murkier. Every stream, every download, pads their pockets and fuels their relevance—so where does that leave us, the listeners?

3. My humble advice? Enjoy what you enjoy. Music is a deeply personal experience, and attempting to untangle the art from the artist can be an exercise in futility. Besides, if we were to purge our playlists of every problematic figure, we'd be left with little more than silence.

 

4. Now, do some of these individuals belong behind bars? Absolutely. Should they be belting out tunes in the confines of a jail cell? Well, that's a debate for another day.
