Following the controversy sparked by an alleged statement from Spotify Mexico claiming the removal of corridos from its catalog in the country, the digital platform was forced to respond, denying having issued the statement that went viral.
The statement circulating on social media claimed that the company would remove songs from its catalog that glorified or promoted activities related to drug trafficking, cartels, and violence, which some users interpreted as a possible removal of corridos or other regional Mexican music genres.
According to the digital platform, this statement is completely false and was not issued by Spotify Mexico.
Therefore, the company indicated that any official information should first be consulted through its official channels and reminded users that its public policies are available on its website.
