Earlier this year, Rogan faced backlash for his discussion regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, spurring a string of celebrities calling for him to be canceled. Spotify also posted new policies for permissible content by which content creators are expected to abide following Rogan’s apology for using the N-word during his podcasts.
Rogan has a multi-year distribution deal with Spotify that is reportedly worth more than $200 million.
