Spotify have removed the music of controversial US band Blood On The Dance Floor following accusations of sexual assault against singer Dahvie Vanity.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Blood On The Dance Floor’s sole remaining member, Dahvie Vanity, had been accused of sexual assault by 21 women.

These reports, published in a lengthy exposé by The Huffington Post, note that allegations 34-year-old Vanity (whose real name is Jesus David Torres) go back to 2007, when a 14-year-old girl was allegedly forced to perform oral sex upon him.

While Vanity had been released by officials back in 2007 after the police report stated that the “victim refuses cooperation with prosecution”, further allegations against the singer continued to come forward, with 21 women accusing him of sexual assault as of April 2019.

Now, as a result of these allegations against Dahvie Vanity, Spotify have pulled the group’s music from Spotify.

Update: BOTDF has completely disappeared from Spotify, even that one song that was still there a few days ago. Searching 'Blood on the Dance Floor' now just brings up the Michael Jackson song of the same name. — Blackskull (@blackskull771) April 23, 2019

@AppleSupport @TeamYouTube hey apparently Spotify has removed Blood On The Dance Floor due to the allegations of him raping minors. Any chance you can remove BOTDF along with his other projects SinnersAreWinners and Master Of Death? He uses your platforms to groom them. — Rainbow Granny (Dahvie Vanity For Prison) (@rainbowgranny69) April 23, 2019

As The Huffington Post again reports, Blood On The Dance Floor’s music was removed from Spotify over the weekend, with hundreds of the band’s songs (which pulled in almost 80,000 listens per month), being unable to be accessed by users.

In fact, while the band’s artist page is still accessible via Spotify’s search function, only one song remains on the service – 2015’s ‘The Reckoning!’, which was originally released under the band name Master of Death.

Similarly, other music made by Vanity under his Master Of Death and Sinners Are Winners monikers can still be found on the service.

While The Huffington Post state they reached out to make Spotify aware of the allegations against Vanity, and the group’s lyrical content, a spokesperson for the streaming platform explained that Blood On The Dance Floor have now been removed for violating Spotify’s guidelines on prohibited content.

Of course, this is not the first time that artists have had their music removed from the service for such violations, with artists like Lostprophets completely absent from the platform.

Other artists, such as R. Kelly and XXXTentaction, have had their music removed from Spotify’s algorithms, meaning their music can still be found on the service, but cannot be accessed via recommended playlists and similar features.

Although Spotify had implemented a feature that allows users to ‘mute’ particular artists, it appears that the alleged actions of Dahavie Vanity, and the lyrical content demonstrated on Blood On The Dance Floor’s music was the last straw for the streaming service.
