He was also in awe of the legendary artist Prince and grew up listening to his music. When Prince died in April 2016, Rogan spoke about it on his podcast show and was extremely saddened by the news.

Rogan said, “he (prince) left an undeniable impact on people.” Even though Rogan was a huge fan, he sadly never got to meet Prince in person. Will Smith was one of the last people to talk to Prince before he passed away. According to reports, the actor spoke to the legendary singer the night before he was found unresponsive in a lift.

Rogan could arguably be one of the biggest James Brown fans we’ve seen. When Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter Renato Laranja dissed the legendary artist, Rogan roasted the fighter and defended Brown.
