Summary
India.Arie, 50, said in a June 23 Threads post that Clive Davis was among the record-label executives who "hurt lots of artists" after the music mogul died June 22 at age 94.
Her post warned that archival interviews would soon surface and said her own experience was "minimal" compared with what others may describe, adding that her remarks were "the diplomatic version."
USA TODAY said it had sought comment from Davis' representatives; his family said he died peacefully at his Manhattan home from an age-related illness after a recent hospitalization for an upper respiratory infection.
Davis built a six-decade career leading Columbia, founding Arista in 1974 and later J Records, helping launch or shape stars including Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.
