'When we give him our money, we're co-signing this behavior. It's a hard thing to do, but we have to let him go.'
has lent further credence to the aims of #MuteRKelly, but also is reinforcing why we as a society should believe women who come forward."You can hear their stories and their willingness to say things that are humiliating and shameful; to be able to look in their face and see their pain is to be able to see that this is the truth," she said."You know women aren't making these stories up.
Part of it is financial. We understand that for Spotify and Pandora, they can't afford for big names like Kendrick Lamar and other people to pull their music off their platform. So it wasn't so much in support of R. Kelly but in fear of losing a lot of other big names that they make a lot of money off of. R. Kelly makes a lot of money still.

I think it's because we have an issue with misogyny in our community. We have a feeling that we have to protect Black men at all costs and that they are especially targeted in our society or all manner of things. So we feel very protective of them. I think we all come to all of our decision-making by bringing all of our context with us. I'm a woman, I am also African-American. I have a college education. I bring all of that to everything I do.
