UFC commentator and analyst, Joe Rogan run a very successful podcast by the name of The Joe Rogan Experience. JRE is well known for all sorts of people coming over and discussing the most bizarre issues with absolutely no filter at all.
Rogan was swamped by criticism after he criticized the effectiveness of the government-approved Coronavirus vaccine. The entire medical community went after him, and many doctors from all around the world signed an open letter to remove his content from the platform. Many artists were pissed off at him too and they asked Spotify to ban him from the platform. Joe issued a public apology for his statement, and everything was about to cool down.
Rogan thought he was off the hook, but a video of him saying the N-word surfaced online, and singer India Arie once again started the ‘cancel Joe Rogan’ moment.

He said, “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–k that! There’s more people poring over it but it’s the same thing. I do it the same way. If I become something different because it grew bigger, I will quit.” (H/T NYPost.com)
Talking about his N-word comments, he said, “It looks f–king horrible. Even to me. 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. I haven’t said it in years.”
