Yes, on Apple Music, you can opt to never play a specific artist. To do this, while listening to a song by the artist you want to avoid, tap on the '...’ button for more options. Choose 'Dislike' or use the 'Suggest Less Like This' option. This tells Apple Music's algorithm your preferences, effectively minimizing or eliminating songs from that artist in your recommendations, stations, and mixes. However, this isn't a direct 'ban' button, but it significantly reduces their presence in your listening experience.
