Apple Music Censoring

My Apple Music is censoring songs (and yes, I have the explicit version downloaded). My issue is that it's only censoring Jon Bellion. I've played music from bbno$ to Billie Eilish, and all of their explicit songs have the swears/explicit content in it.

When I play an explicit Jon Bellion song, the swears are either bleeped or just plain cut out.

I have tried turning off screen time, going to iTunes and playing an explicit song. I did not receive any pop-up asking if it's okay to play explicit songs.

I have gone into my screen time settings, and my content restrictions are set to allow explicit content.

I am not sure what to do as it's only one artist, but he is one of my favorites.

I’m so relieved I’m not the only one to have had this happen to! Thank God, it’s finally fixed! I just Googled the problem and found this thread while I was listening to a song of his, because I needed to get to the bottom of it. I thought it might have been something that Apple decided to do, but if you go into Settings> Apple Music> Dolby Atmos and turn it OFF, it fixes it immediately. Mine was on automatic, and the second I turned it off, the song rang out those sweet, sweet f bombs once again 😊

I was literally JUST NOW listening to Jon Bellion and noticed that words were cutting out even with the explicit version enabled. This seems to be a Jon Bellion exclusive problem for some reason.

It didn't work for song added as mp3 (not from apple music).

The song I wanted was 'CD only' version and I couldn't add it to my apple music library. I didn't buy CD (not my favourite singer, lol), I just downloaded. After adding to iTunes it played well, but on my phone it magically changed to clean version even if I added nothing in tags and disabled lossles and dolby atmos.

Only thing that saved me was someone, who ripped this song from cd with beginning of the next song. So Apple music didn't find clean version for it. Maybe that person did it on purpose.

It also didn't change song with wrong timing (really it is 2:54, but shows as 23:00)
