'The fact that he did it repeatedly and was conscious and knew — I think that is being racist,' India Arie said of Joe Rogan saying the N-word.
In a stand-up set Tuesday, podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan weighed in on the controversy that has entangled him and Spotify over the past few weeks.“But when I go deeper and ask myself what I really think ... what I really think is that he was being consciously racist. And it makes me wonder what he talks like behind closed doors.”Warning: The video below contains profanity.
Ultimately, though, Arie reiterated that her main issue with Spotify is “its treatment of artists’ rights.” On “The Daily Show,” Arie accused the streaming giant of giving the average artist .003% to .005% — “a fraction of a penny” — of the profits it makes for streaming their music.
