Kanye West is the latest on the star studded guest list, a famous rapper as well as an entrepreneur. What\u2019s the tea? After Joe Rogan announced that he would finally be doing a podcast with the musician, fans were left shattered when he announced that due to a staff member testing positive for a virus, he would have to cancel a week\u2019s worth of podcasts \u2013 including Kanye\u2019s. However, the pair managed to work it out, and surprised everyone when they revealed that they would in fact be able to do the podcast.

People immediately noticed that the logo actually belonged to Corey, and was an exact copy. After the backlash reached an extreme height, Tayler released a video alongside Corey\u2019s brother Jared and his dad Simon, in which he said \u201cI just want to say that from the bottom of my heart I\u2019m so sorry for anyone that I affected with this and upset it was by far never my intentions with this. Corey is a very very close friend of mine. He\u2019s like family to me. We were teaming up on this, it was a thing that me, and Jared, and Simon had been talking about for the past few months.\u201d Corey\u2019s dad went on to say \u201cWow, you guys are the best. We\u2019re not saying it was wrong you thought what you did was right but this shows how much love there was for Corey.\u201d Tayler announced that they would be holding off on the merch release for the time being.
