Paying musicians a fraction of a penny? And him $100 ? This shows the type of company they are and the company that they keep. Getting to the root of the issue, Arie continued: “What I am talking about is respect - who gets it and who doesn’t. The two white men went on to host a lengthy discussion about what it means to be Black, an identity they say they can understand because, Rogan, at least, is Italian.
Last week, Rogan was joined on his podcast by so-called philosopher Jordan Peterson. For me, it’s also his language around race.”
However, I find Joe Rogan problematic for reasons other than his Covid interviews. “Neil Young opened a door that I must walk through,” she wrote on Instagram. Last month, Rolling Stone reported that a group of 270 doctors, healthcare workers, educators, and scientists was campaigning for Spotify to publicly adopt a misinformation policy the missive inspired Young to remove his music from the service.

India Arie is the latest musician to announce plans to remove their catalog from Spotify in support of Neil Young, who took the first step in doing so after the streaming service failed to properly address streamer Joe Rogan’s spread of Covid-19 misinformation on his podcast.
