It seems like the Joe Rogan saga is not going away anytime soon. Every day, something new happens in the controversy regarding Joe Rogan and Spotify. There are people who are against him and some have backed the long-time UFC commentator as well. The latest person to lend him his support is the actor, Michael Jai White.
White is a long-time martial arts practitioner and knows nine different styles. He knows Rogan personally and has nothing but high praise for him. According to him, he has a lot of similarities with the comedian. They both have been competing in martial arts for a very, very long time, and White has seen Rogan tap out some of the toughest fighters there are.

The other was for a video of him that was posted. He faced a lot of backlash from the public after the video of him went viral, where his use of a certain word from over the years was combined.
However, White doesn’t agree with the backlash and the hate he is getting. According to him, in the context that it was used, it was not being used to describe someone, and that makes a difference. The actor also noted that the issue became so big after the Spotify controversy.
