India.Arie has clarified her reasons for leaving Spotify, after she became one of many artists to boycott the service in recent weeks.When she first pulled her music from the service earlier this month, Arie cited their exclusive hosting of Joe Rogan’s podcast and his “language around race” as the reason she left Spotify.“Neil Young opened a door that I must walkthrough,” she wrote on Instagram, explaining how was following on from Neil Young’s exit from Spotify due to Rogan spreading “misinformation” about COVID-19 on his podcast.“I believe in freedom of speech. However, I find Joe Rogan problematic for reasons other than his COVID interviews,” she said at the time.Now, in a new interview with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, Arie has discussed how Spotify’s royalties scheme and business practices also influenced her decision.Asked if Rogan was her enemy by Noah, Arie said: “My conversation has been about Spotify and its treatment of artists.“I have to say that asking for my music to be pulled from Spotify in protest doesn’t actually serve me,” she added, “but I did it in protest just because I felt like my dignity was being … I felt like I was being disrespected.”Discussing royalty payments artists get from Spotify, Arie explained: “What happens is, they say, ‘Well, this is just how it is; this is just what you get paid.
‘Daily Show’ Host Trevor Noah Explains Blackness To Joe Rogan: Black People Didn’t Call Themselves ‘Black.’ You Understand That, Right?”
28.01.2022 - 23:07 / deadline.com
Comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan who, in the past two weeks has become a lightning rod for criticism due to comments made on his show about Covid and was the focus of a Spotify protest by Neil Young, has now come under criticism from Trevor Noah on The Daily Show for a conversation on Rogan’s podcast about skin color and what it means to be Black.
In a January 25 conversation, Rogan asked former psychology professor Jordan Peterson, “What did Michael Eric Dyson call you? A mean, angry white man?”
“Yeah, a mean, angry white man,” answered Peterson about Vanderbilt professor Dyson, whom he has debated.
“Hilarious,” Rogan shot back, “you’re not mean at all.”
“I am white,” responded Peterson. “Actually, that’s a lie, too. I’m kind of tan. And he was actually not Black, he was sort of tan.”
That prompted Rogan to deliver his thoughts on the subject.
“The Black and white thing is so strange because the shades are so…There’s such a spectrum of shades of people,” he said. “Unless you’re talking to someone who is, like, 100 percent African, from the darkest place, where they are not wearing any clothes all day and they’ve developed all that melanin to protect themselves from the sun, you know, even the term ‘Black’ is weird. When you use it for people who are literally my color, it becomes very strange.”
After playing a clip of the exchange on The Daily Show, Noah looked at his hands with pretend shock and quipped, “Oh my God! I’m not Black! I’m not Black! Joe Rogan’s right! I’m like a Caramel Mocha Frappuccino. This changes everything. This changes everything!”
He then ran off, stage left. His exit quickly followed by police lights and sirens. The implication seeming to be that, even if one thinks one is not Black in America, certain
