- In a series of tweets, Anita Baker is asking her fans not to stream her music particularly on Spotify.
- She said Spotify is a publicly traded company with a $50 million valuation but they do not pay artists/creators what they are worth.
- Anita said she is also fighting for the rights to her master recordings.
- She said she has been in the business 35 years. After 30 years the law states masters are to be returned to the artist.
- In Anita's case that has not happened yet but she is prepared to fight for them.
- Dave Chappelle made a similar request to his fans about his content.
