XXXTentacion wasn’t the only example of the mainstream music industry’s struggles to address issues involved with the #MeToo movement this year. Days before the 2018 Grammy Awards, a study by University of Southern California professor Stacy L. Smith broke down the numbers behind the industry’s vast gender gap. Only about 22 percent of performers on the 600 most popular songs from 2012 to 2017 were female, according to the report. Over the same period, less than 10 percent of Grammy nominees were women.

On Grammy night, many artists and music executives wore white roses meant to symbolize “hope, peace, sympathy, and resistance,” organized by executives Meg Harkins of Roc Nation and Karen Rait of Interscope. Janelle Monáe invoked Time’s Up in an impassioned speech introducing Kesha, who then performed her searing 2017 ballad of survival, “Praying.” But there was no mention of that song’s widely presumed subject, Kesha’s producer-turned-legal adversary Dr. Luke. Only 17 percent of the night’s winners were women, with just one, Alessia Cara, winning a major award during the televised ceremony. Lorde, the lone female nominee for Album of the Year, didn’t perform because she wasn’t offered a solo slot.

The days after the Grammys brought glimmerings of consequences for the music industry’s male leaders. Female executives called for Recording Academy head Neil Portnow to resign after he said in a post-ceremony interview that women who wanted to advance in the music industry needed to “step up.” Separately, Universal placed Republic Records president Charlie Walk on leave after multiple women accused him of harassment and inappropriate touching. He also stepped down from his judge’s seat on the Fox singing competition “The Four.”

Despite these few moments of accountability, it was unclear how much the industry was doing to address men accused of misconduct toward women. Dr. Luke, who has denied Kesha’s allegations of rape and abuse, continues to wage a defamation lawsuit against her in court. Since April 2017, he’s no longer CEO of his Sony Music Group imprint, Kemosabe Records, but he keeps producing and writing songs for boldface names, including Big Boi and Ne-Yo. Months after the Grammys, Portnow announced plans to leave the Academy, though not until his contract expires in July 2019. As for Walk, following an investigation, he and Republic “mutually agreed to part ways,” the label said in a terse statement. Walk, too, has denied the allegations against him, hiring Weinstein attorney Patty Glaser and claiming he was extorted.

Like Walk, influential music executive L.A. Reid was a judge on a Fox music show, sitting for two seasons on the U.S. version of “The X Factor.” In May 2017, Sony Music issued a one-sentence statement that Reid would be leaving the company, where he had been CEO of Epic Records. The day after that statement was released, reports emerged that Reid faced multiple claims of sexual misconduct. By March of this year, Reid had reportedly raised more than $100 million for a new venture, Hitco, with Big Boi as its first signing; Hitco’s distribution is through EMPIRE, which also distributes XXXTentacion. Reid has made no comment publicly about the allegations against him.

After facing sexual assault allegations last year, longtime music executive Russell Simmons, who co-founded Def Jam before selling his stake to Universal in 1999, was accused of rape in two separate lawsuits in 2018. In May, Simmons posted a statement supporting the #MeToo movement. “In the end I’ll be fine,” he wrote. He recently reiterated that he “wholeheartedly” backs #MeToo, and he is headed to trial next year in one of the rape lawsuits.
