The company said it removed those at the request of Rogan and his team after talking about his “racially insensitive” language in some episodes. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave their support to the backlash against Spotify over Joe Rogan's comments on the COVID-19 vaccine, following a complicated year-long relationship with the platform. But, he wrote, “I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer… canceling voices is a slippery slope.” That came after Spotify pulled 70 episodes “The Joe Rogan Experience” from the platform, dating from 2009 to 2018. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek earlier this month sent a memo to employees saying the he was “deeply sorry” for how the Rogan controversy has affected them. 8 episode of his podcast, Rogan complained that a viral video compilation of him using the N-word two dozen times was “a political hit job.” Just three days earlier Rogan, in an Instagram post, apologized over the supercut clip of him saying the N-word, calling it “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.” After waiting a long time for content from Harry and Meghan, Spotify appeared to. Over the past month, Rogan has faced a backlash from Spotify users and artists over his use of the N-word in past episodes of his podcast and accusations that Rogan’s show has spread COVID misinformation. Spotify says it will start adding content advisories before podcasts discussing COVID-19 in response to concerns raised by musicians and content creators including Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess. Meghan promoted her children’s book The Bench, and Harry signed a multimillion-dollar deal to write his memoir.
