Joe Rogan returned to the stand-up stage this past week. The longtime UFC commentator has been in the middle of a controversy storm recently.
The host of the Joe Rogan Experience has taken a lot of criticism from people across the world. He is being accused of spreading misinformation on his show. It started with a group of over 250 doctors, scientists, and researchers signing a petition for Spotify to regulate it. Neil Young, singer, and songwriter followed it up. He removed all his music from the audio streaming platform stating that they can either have him or Rogan.

Rogan has also found support during these trying times. A lot of big names in the world are backing the podcast host.

“How many ways can you say you’re sorry? Joe, just go about what you do so well and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you and it never will be!”
However, by the statement Rogan made, it seems like he doesn’t agree with what Trump said.
