Popular podcaster Joe Rogan endorses Donald Trump

<p>Joe Rogan, the popular U.S. podcaster, issued an apology for the second time in a week, this time for using racial slurs after a montage video surfaced showing him repeatedly saying the N-word.</p>

<p>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."</p>

<p>Rogan's apology came after Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter India Arie pulled her music from the&nbsp;Spotify&nbsp;streaming service, which hosts Rogan's podcast, after posting clips on her Instagram feed of him using the N-word.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>"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."</p>

Joe Rogan apologises for using racial slurs on his podcast, says, 'I'm not racist'

<p>Dwayne Johnson is backing out from his prior support to podcaster Joe Rogan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Hollywood star had <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dwayne-johnson-shows-support-for-joe-rogan-amid-spotify-misinformation-controversy-449731">previously expressed support</a> for Joe but after it was found out that he had used the controversial ‘N-word’ and has even apologised for it, the actor has distanced himself from the whole controversy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Joe Rogan has been in the news for the past week after he protested removal of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-joe-rogan-responds-to-spotify-podcast-controversy-says-hes-a-big-fan-of-neil-young-449131">Neil Young</a>’s music and of other musicians from Spotify. It’s where Joe Rogan’s podcast is licensed. Neil Young had&nbsp;demanded in an open letter to Spotify to remove his music from the platform he said is spreading vaccine disinformation via the popular podcaster Joe Rogan.&nbsp;"I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines -- potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them," wrote the legendary singer.</p>

<p>The musicians have blasted the streamer to object to Joe Rogan’s guests on his podcast and some of the information shared therein. Singer India Arie posted clips where Rogan can be heard using the N-word. She posted the clips to tell fans why she was withdrawing music from Spotify.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Joe Rogan too apologised for the slur. He said, “It looks fu**ing horrible. Even to me. I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast. And I agree with that now, I haven’t said it in years.”</p>

The Hollywood star had previously expressed support for Joe but after it was found out that he had used the controversial ‘N-word’ and has even apologised for it, the actor has distanced himself from the whole controversy. Joe Rogan has been in the news for the past week after he protested removal of Neil Young’s music and of other musicians from Spotify. It’s where Joe Rogan’s podcast is licensed. Neil Young had demanded in an open letter to Spotify to remove his music from the platform he said is spreading vaccine disinformation via the popular podcaster Joe Rogan. "I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines -- potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them," wrote the legendary singer. The musicians have blasted the streamer to object to Joe Rogan’s guests on his podcast and some of the information shared therein. Singer India Arie posted clips where Rogan can be heard using the N-word. She posted the clips to tell fans why she was withdrawing music from Spotify. After it came to fore, Dwayne Johnson said, “I was not aware of his N-word use before my comments, but now I’ve become educated to his complete narrative. Learning moment for me.” Dear @donwinslow Thank you so much for this I hear you as well as everyone here 100% I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I've become educated to his complete narrative.
