Joe Rogan offered $100m to leave Spotify for \u2018free speech\u2019 platform Rumble YouTube\/JREA new video platform is offering Joe Rogan a lot of money to leave Spotify amid calls to \u201ccancel\u201d the podcast host following racism allegations. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is one of the most popular in the world, but it\u2019s come under fire in recent months with many accusing its host and guests of spreading misinformation and even making racist comments. The drama has resulted in more than 70 episodes being pulled from the platform and Rogan himself taking responsibility for his comments, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the backlash and calls for the platform to dump JRE. Now, as Spotify\u2019s CEO Daniel Ek defended the host, rival platform Rumble has stepped in to try to offer Rogan a deal he can\u2019t refuse. Hey @joerogan, we are ready to fight alongside you.

In a press release, Chris Pavlovski said his site stands with Joe and his guests and would like to see both old and new episodes of the JRE on Rumble with no censorship. The four-year deal for $100m would equal what Spotify originally paid back in 2020, but it\u2019s unclear if Joe could even abandon one platform for the other without breaking his contract. Joe has yet to respond to the counter-offer, at least publicly, but it will be interesting to see how things develop with a platform devoted to free speech wanting to secure the rights to the podcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
