'F*** that!': Joe Rogan says he will quit Spotify if he has to 'walk on eggshells'



Podcast giant Joe Rogan said that the would quit Spotify if he were forced to "walk on eggshells" to avoid making more controversial comments.

Rogan made the comments on his recent podcast episode with mixed martial arts fighter Josh Barnett.

"If I become something different because it grew bigger, I'll quit," said Rogan.

“I will quit. If it gets to a point that I can’t do it anymore, where I have to do it in some sort of weird way where I walk on eggshells and mind my p’s and q’s, f*** that!” Rogan added.

Quitting Spotify would put into jeopardy a deal between the incredibly popular podcaster and the online streaming service that was initially reported to be worth $100 million, but has since been revised to an estimate of over $200 million.

Spotify has been hit with employee complaints and protests over comments from Rogan they found to be politically incorrect and inappropriate. Among those are comments he's made refuting arguments made by transgender activists and their supporters.

More recently, Rogan has hosted coronavirus vaccine skeptics and vaccine mandate opponents on his podcast. In one episode, he said that healthy young people didn't have a reason to get vaccinated, but he later walked the comments back, saying that he wasn't a doctor and people shouldn't listen to his musings.

The controversy then escalated when rocker Neil Young demanded that Spotify delete his music from its catalogue in protest against its providing a platform for Rogan. After it deleted his music, other artists began asking for the same.

Others, like talk show host Howard Stern, have defended Rogan from "cancel culture" trying to de-platform him and his wildly popular show.

"I'm against any kind of censorship really. You know, I really am. I don't like censorship," said Stern at the time.

What are the details?

In a succinct tweet — which has since gone viral — Whitney wrote, "This country has so many week minded [sic] folks. People in 3rd world countries don't get offended at words and podcasts because they're to [sic] busy trying to find food, avoiding encephalitis, and fleeing from genocidal dictatorships."

"So ponder that next time you're 'literally shaking,'" he added.

What else is there to know about this?

Rogan has been under fire for weeks as musicians such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have yanked their music libraries from Spotify over the podcaster's show, "The Joe Rogan Experience."

Young and Mitchell — as well as others — have accused Rogan of spreading COVID-19 misinformation.

Rogan has been under the microscope over the last week after resurfaced footage emerged featuring him using the N-word on various episodes — incidents for which he later apologized.

In a lengthy video statement, Rogan apologized and insisted that he is not racist.

He captioned the video, "There’s been a lot of s**t from the old episodes of the podcast that I wish I hadn’t said, or had said differently. This is my take on the worst of it."

"I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that now,” Rogan said in the video. “Instead of saying the N-word, I would just say the word. I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing.”

“I never used it to be racist, because I’m not racist,” Rogan added. “But whenever you’re in a situation where you have to say, ‘I’m not racist,’ you f***ed up. And I clearly have f***ed up."

Spotify has thus far refused to remove Rogan's show from the popular music and audio media streaming platform.
