gagarox 1,495 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Do u guys think gaga did the right thing by deleting dwuw ft r kelly? If so,why hasnt spotify wiped off his entire discography yet? tomorrow if similar allegations came out against francis lawrence,redone , djws etc will Gaga delete her entire discography from the face of the earth? Is deleting ur own songs the correct way to dissociate from bad people? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poissonche 12,365 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think that what led her to delete DWUW was not only the fact that R. Kelly was on it. What made DWUW very problematic was the very sexual, almost rapey, meaning of Kelly's part, combined with his real-life crimes. And the fact that said crimes were publicly known at the time of creation of DWUW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpmonster 22,412 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Gaga did the right thing. It isn't just because she found out now. It was public knowledge back then and she made a bad decision to work with him anyway. She's fixing that now. So, it's not a bad precedent by any means. If we all knew RedOne had serious allegations against him including receipts and she decided to work anyway, that would be a problem. Spotify didn't delete his songs because that's Spotify. They have whatever contract they do and even if they don't, they're supporting Kelly's business while Gaga is not. Spotify could do the right thing too, by taking him off the platform.

Sadferreira 3 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yes. Gaga had already apologized for the video and collaborating with him. What did deleting the song do? Undo his crimes? The smart thing to do would’ve been to donate the money she made from it to a sexual assault victims charity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monketsharona 81,971 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 DWUW hasn't been deleted but blocked on Spotify If you have it on your computer you're still able to play it from the album on Spotify Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickens in Malibu 7,873 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 DWUW was initially about the media and negative press about gaga (even mocking her for gaining weight back then), but R Kelly just ruined the song by adding a rapey meaning to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 73,961 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don't think it's a bad precedent, it was just a move to make a statement and truly take back a mistake she thinks she made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 12,535 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I had the same thoughts, actually. https://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/284715-r-kelly-fiasco-too-much Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rah Rah 2,000 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Did she do the right thing? Only time will tell. Did she do what she thought was right to do considering everything? Yes, absolutely. If similar allegations came out against any of her producers like DJWS then I don’t think she’d handle it the same way. The problem is that RK actually sang with her on the track, making his collaboration more obvious than just simply writing it with her. The past is the past, but Gaga did the right thing by deleting it all together as the song doesn’t even preach what she stands for anymore as she stated. Chromatica will live on forever.
