Joe Rogan Clarifies N Word Use


This week singer / songwriter India Arie announced she was removing her music from Spotify after sharing a montage of Joe Rogan using the N-word on his podcast, citing the disparities between what Spotify pays Rogan vs what recording artists are paid [click here if you missed that].

Following backlash Joe puts his N-word usage in context...

In a video posted on Instagram Joe Rogan explains while the video looks bad, it is taken out of context. Joe claims in the past he felt if he was using the word to explain something it was ok to use. Joe says he no longer feels that way and hasn't said the word in years.
