In a statement to Engadget, Spotify didn’t address the funding allegations. Instead, it highlighted the current initiatives that the fund had backed. For example, there are marketing initiatives for Black musicians like Kaytranada, the LGBTQ music promotion programme Glow, and the most recent growth of the NextGen podcast funding project to assist growth at historically Black institutions and universities. Latina/Latino creators have also benefited from the Creator Equity Fund.
