Is it possible to separate the art from the artist?

Richie Brave and guests discuss separating the art from the artists @1Xtra on social

When our favourite artists and celebrities are in the headlines for the wrong reasons, it creates a dilemma for music fans – can we still love the music but distance ourselves from their reported behaviour? In the last two decades, some of the biggest names in music have been marred by scandal and criminal convictions. Can the art and the artist be truly separated?

To get into it, Richie is joined by audio producer and rapper Chris Mitchell, aka Kinetik, and writer and head of editorial at Black Ballad, Jendella Benson.
