The feature comes as Spotify has been under immense pressure to block American musician R Kelly after the #MuteRKelly protests online. Robert Sylvester Kelly has been subject to numerous allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct. Spotify hasn’t been launched in India yet. However, the music streaming platform is **expected** to finally make its official entry into the country this month itself, on 31 January. The news comes right after the  **announcement**  that Spotify and  **T-Series** , film and music company in India (which is battling with PewDiePie for the top channel spot on YouTube) had collaborated where-in Spotify customers will be able to access to T-Series’ entire catalogue of Indian music, including regional, Bollywood and songs.
