Mason is accused of threatening to kill the father of Joycelyn Savage, one of the women featured in “Surviving R. Kelly.” According to CNN , the warrant was issued over the summer. When CNN called Mason Wednesday, he said he had “no comment” and referred additional questions to his attorney. In an incident report obtained by the network, Timothy Savage stated that Mason said, “I’m gonna do harm to you and your family, when I see you I’m gonna get you, I’m going to f***ing kill you.” The case was presented to a Magistrate Judge who issued a warrant in July, citing “terroristic threats and acts.” The warrant is assigned to the sheriff’s office. Joycelyn Savage’s family has claimed she is having a sexual relationship with Kelly, and that she is being manipulated by him into cutting off contact with the outside world. Her father says they haven’t heard from her in about two years. She responded to this claim in a video released in 2017 on TMZ, in which she denied she’s being held and that she had been brainwashed by the Grammy-award winning singer. “I just want everybody to know — my parents and everybody in the world — that I’m totally fine. I’m happy where I’m at and everything is OK with me,” she said in the video. Related: Father of Azriel Clary Talks “Surviving R.Kelly” & Shuts Down Critics on The QuickSilva Show R.

Taylor Swift-Spotify Feud: What’s the Deal?

If you’re a Taylor Swift fan who uses the music streaming service Spotify, you may have found yourself disappointed this week. As you’ve likely heard, Taylor released 1989 on Monday and her highly-anticipated fifth studio album is on track to become the biggest seller of the year. Swift’s label, Big Machine Records, pulled all of her music from Spotify in preparation for 1989’s blockbuster sales. Spotify execs issued a statement saying that they’re fans of Taylor’s music and “hope that she changes her mind.” That seems unlikely. With a  1989 world tour coming up and promotional tie-ins with companies like Target and Coca-Cola, Taylor has been promoting 1989 harder than any of her previous albums. It seems clear that she considers the album to be some of her best work, and her fans seem to agree. So why not have them pay full price for it? Taylor’s been open about her feelings on online streaming services in the past: “Piracy, file sharing and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically,” she told the Wall Street Journal last year. “Every artist has handled this blow differently.” Taylor certainly isn’t the first artist to pull her music from Spotify. Beyonce and Coldplay are two of the growing number of major acts who have already cut ties with the service. 11 Fun Facts About Taylor Swift! 1.
