Joe Rogan has been under fire recently for a variety of controversies stemming from his podcast. Now, the UFC commentator has labeled the attacks as a “political hit job”.<\/p>\n

Rogan has been under massive scrutiny for the past few weeks. While his attacks first stemmed from his controversial comments about COVID-19, the controversy took a turn last week. A video compilation was released showing the UFC commentator<\/a> repeatedly using racial slurs on his podcast.<\/p>\n

Following these controversies, Rogan and Spotify came under fire. Many artists such as Neil Young<\/a> began to pull their music from the platform in protest. However, Rogan also got his fair share of support, including from former U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rogan released an apology for both incidents. However, while he also apologized, he’s also now claiming that the controversy was a result of politics. He also admitted that seeing the video was also a bit of relief. His explanation was that it allowed him to address his prior use of the slurs on the podcast.<\/p>\n

\"Joe<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a lot of ways, all this is a relief. Because that video had always been out there. Like this is a political hit job so they\u2019re taking all this stuff that I\u2019ve ever said that\u2019s wrong and smushed it all together but it\u2019s good because it makes me address some s*** that I really wish wasn\u2019t out there.\u201d – said Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experience<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Following the controversy, Spotify went through and removed over 70 episodes off their platform which were deemed offensive. They also added disclaimers to any episodes in which Rogan discussed COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Despite the removal of the episodes, Spotify has stood by Joe Rogan, and stated that he will not<\/a> be silenced or kicked off their app.<\/p>\n
