Music websites banned from Twitter over leaked Young Thug tracklist?
Major music sites, including The FADER and Pigeons & Planes, have been suspended from Twitter.
UPDATE: Pigeons & Planes' editor-in-chief Jacob Moore told The Verge that they were "notified of a copyright violation by Viacom, which owns BET." The BET Awards took place on Sunday.

It looks like it's got something to do with a Young Thug tracklist that got posted, or so says Hip Hop N More's Navjosh:
We posted Young Thug's track list. Atlantic complained to twitter. They suspended us https://t.co/jATENGpZQj

Yes and we even credited the site we got it from https://t.co/qdfHSlrz2t

If the leaked tracklist is the source of the problem, it's strange that the sites would be feeling the consequences now - considering Beautiful Thugger Girls has been out in the world since 16 June.
Complex, who haven't been banned but own Pigeons & Planes, reposted a video from April about a previous suspension.
