Separating the artist from the art is fine for me as long as you don't support them. There is nothing inherently wrong with consuming media you like from a controversial figure.
Of course it's hard to separate the artist and the art if you actively give them money for it.
I like some of Kanye West's music but I would never spend a single cent on one of his albums, watch an ad on Youtube for his music videos or listen to his songs on streaming services.
I cant stand listening to someone singing, knowing full well they rape children ๐คทโโ๏ธ
