India Arie Announces She is Also Removing Her Music From Spotify Because of Joe Rogan Support
India Arie announced on Instagram that she will pull her music and podcast from Spotify because of comments on The Joe Rogan Experience.
The fight against Joe Rogan continues. On Monday evening, India Arie took to Instagram to announce that she will be removing her music and Songversation podcast from Spotify. The singer cited not only Rogan’s COVID misinformation, but also his “language around race” during a 2021 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience and Spotify’s unequal payment standards.
“I have decided to pull my music and podcast from Spotify. Neil Young opened a door that I MUST walk through. I believe in freedom of speech. However, I find Joe Rogan problematic for reasons OTHER than his COVID interviews,” she wrote. “FOR ME IT’S ALSO HIS language around race. What I am talking about is RESPECT — who gets it and who doesn’t. Paying musicians a Fraction of a penny? And HIM $100M? This shows the type of company they are and the company that they keep. I’m tired.”
