‘My sincere, deepest apologies and much love’: Joe Rogan, the popular U.S. podcaster, apologizes for using racial slurs after a montage video surfaces
In an apology video posted on Instagram on Saturday, Rogan said it was the "most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly." During the video, Rogan said footage that emerged of him using the epithet had been taken out of context, but looked "horrible, even to me."
Rogan's apology came after Grammy award winning singer-songwriter India Arie pulled her music from the Spotify streaming service, which hosts Rogan's podcast, after posting clips on her Instagram feed of him using the N-word.In his apology, Rogan said the montage showed him using the epithet in conversations on shows over the last 12 years, and included examples of him discussing its use by Black and white comedians and others. He said he had not spoken it in years.
"It's not my word to use. I am well aware of that now, but for years I used it in that manner," he said. "I never used it to be racist because I'm not racist."UFC announcer Joe Rogan during weigh ins for UFC 263 at Gila River Arena, June 11, 2021, Glendale, Arizona, USA. Mark J.
