Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has vowed not to remove Kanye West from the music streaming platform following backlash over comments he made on social media that have been called offensive and antisemitic.

In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Ek acknowledged that the comments made by West, whose legal name is Ye, were “just awful” but that the rapper’s music would not be removed from the streamer unless his label requested it.
