(Newser) – Like several other musical artists, India Arie pulled her work from Spotify during an uprising against Joe Rogan’s spreading of COVID-19 misinformation. She had another reason, too, which she made clear when she posted a video of clips showing Rogan using the n-word more than 20 times on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. On Saturday, Rogan apologized, CNN reports, calling the issue «the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.» His post on Instagram said, «I know that to most people, there’s no context where a White person is ever allowed to say that, never mind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that,» per Entertainment Weekly.
