Joe Rogan apologizes for racial slur after video surfaces

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Spotify’s popular U.S. podcaster Joe Rogan apologized Saturday after a video compilation surfaced that showed him using a racial slur in clips of episodes over a 12-year span. In a video posted on his Instagram account, Rogan, who hosts a podcast called “The Joe Rogan Experience,” said his use of the N-word in the compilation Arie posted was the “most regretful and shameful thing that I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.” But he said the clips were “taken out of context.” “It’s not my word to use. In her video, Arie said even if some of Rogan’s conversations were taken out of context, “he shouldn’t be uttering the word.” “Don’t even say it under any context,” she added. Arie said on her video that Spotify is built on the back of the music streaming business and that it uses that money to reward Rogan in a lucrative deal.
