Celebrity Pod Cast host Rogan has uploaded an Instagram video on February 5 after the video compilation of him repeatedly saying the N-word went viral. The popular radio show drew backlash from fans for the use of the word.
Samuel L. Jackson has officially entered the Joe Rogan debate. Following podcast host Rogan’s public apology for using the N-word on-air, Jackson mentions why Rogan should be held accountable. “He said saying nobody understood the context when he said it,” “But he shouldn’t have said it. It’s not the context, dude — it’s that he was comfortable doing it. Say that you’re sorry because you want to keep your money, but you were having fun and you say you did it because it was entertaining.” Jackson told The Times
Rogan posted a five-minute Instagram video February 5 after a video compilation of him repeatedly saying the N-word went viral. He claims the word was taken out of context and says he never used it to be racist,” Apologizing is “the most regretful and shameful thing that I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.”
Jackson also made comments about Quentin Tarantino, who is known using the word in scripts. Jackson commented, “While we were rehearsing ‘Django Unchained,’ Leo DiCaprio said, ‘I don’t know if I can say ‘n*****’ this many times.’ Me and Quentin said that you have to.”
We reported earlier in January 30, Spotify has lost more than $2.1 billion in market capitalization, following the Joe Rogan controversy, after Neil Young pulled his songs from the streaming platform for its coronavirus related fallacies.

Investors are closely watching the proceedings to see if other artists would also leave the streaming platform, following Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Earlier doctors and other professionals had also slammed Spotify for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines.
