The R&B singer cited Rogan’s ‘language around race’ in her reasons for her taking her music and podcast off of the platform.
India. Arie is the latest in a flurry of artists who are taking their music down from Spotify following the lead of Neil Young. While Young cited the ongoing vaccine misinformation being purveyed by Joe Rogan on Spotify’s popular The Joe Rogan Podcast as to why he’s removing his catalog from the platform, Arie finds Rogan problematic for more than his views on the COVID vaccine. Namely his language on race. Arie is not only removing her solo recordings from the platform but also her podcast Songversation from the platform.
