Apple Music artist profile image issue

I have an issue on my Apple Music, after I added an Apple Music playlist for BTS, it changed the artist profile picture to the playlist cover. I've tried deleting the playlist and the artist from my library but nothing I tried worked. I've been looking for months but can't find anything to help the issue. I'm on the latest software update and the latest app update, anyone got any idea how I can fix this?

To fix a stuck or glitched artist profile picture on Apple Music, try the following steps reported to resolve artwork caching issues:

  • Delete All Related Playlists First: Remove all of the artist's specialized playlists (such as Essentials, Set List, or any custom/official playlists) from your library.
  • Delete and Reinstall the App: Completely delete the Apple Music app from your device, restart your device, and then reinstall Apple Music from the App Store. 
  • Sign Out and Back In: Go to your device or computer's account settings, sign out of Apple Music/Media & Purchases, wait a moment, and sign back in to force a refresh of your cloud library cache.
  • Disable/Re-enable Sync Library: If you use iCloud Music Library / Sync Library across devices, turn off "Sync Library" in your device's Music settings, restart the device, and turn it back on.

None of this worked. Any other things to try?
