Will Joe Rogan Leave Spotify After A Whopping $100 Million Offer? The UFC Color Commentator Himself Answers

Joe Rogan’s name has been constantly in the news over the past few weeks. The host of the Joe Rogan Experience is one of the biggest names in the world but is currently embroiled in controversies.

He is getting a lot of flak from all sides recently. It all started when singer-songwriter Neil Young went after Rogan. He accused Rogan of spreading misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines. He removed his music from Spotify, the platform where JRE airs and since then many others have followed. However, amidst all this, Spotify has stuck with the long-time UFC commentator. Despite so people asking for the audio streaming platform to cancel him, they have had his back.

Rogan appreciates what they’ve done and despite Rumble offering him $100 million to move his show, he will stick with them. He recently said, “No, Spotify has hung in with me, inexplicably, let’s see what happens.”

Rogan returned to comedy this past week and made fun of himself. Talking about whatever has been going on, he even made fun of people taking vaccine advice from him. He also believes that his recent controversies are a ‘political hit job.’

Spotify stands with Joe Rogan

Ever since the controversy regarding Rogan and vaccine misinformation has started, people have been on Spotify’s case. They want them to cancel Rogan. And even though the platform has lost a lot of market value, they still seem to back him.

However, Spotify removed several JRE episodes recently. In a memo sent to the employees, Daniel Ek discussed the reason for that and clarified that it would not drop Rogan’s show. In the memo, Ek wrote, “I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer.”

“We should have clear lines around content and take action when they are crossed, but canceling voices is a slippery slope.”

According to Ek, it was Rogan who removed the episodes and not just the platform. The issue just seems to keep escalating and it might not end soon. What do you make of the whole situation? Let us know in the comments!
