In a message posted on her personal website, Brown elaborated on her decision and called on Spotify to "have a transparent misinformation policy (made available to the public) that balances addressing the complex misinformation issues we face today while respecting free speech" that was applied across the platform. Roxane's departure comes after India Arie, a musician and podcaster said she would be pulling her podcast 'SongVersation' from Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan's comments on his podcast that it would be "weird" to call Black people "black" unless they were "100 percent African, from the darkest place, where they're not wearing any clothes all day." As for other podcasters, Brene Brown, who has two exclusive podcasts with Spotify, announced last week that she would be pausing the release of any future episodes of 'Unlocking Us' and 'Dare to Lead'. She added, "That's all there really is to say about that. "It won't move any sort of needle but I removed my podcast from Spotify," the 'Bad Feminist' author tweeted.

Taylor Linzinmeir, a freelance journalist for Alternative Press Magazine and Loudwire and a recent OU graduate said artists have been removing their content from Spotify even before the controversy between Young and "JRE." “I think it’s ironic what Neil Young said about spreading misinformation considering the comments he made about LGBT and AIDS in the 80s,” Logan Hancock, a student who graduated in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in education from Ohio State University, said.Īccording to Rolling Stone, Young made offensive comments about AIDS in an interview with Melody Maker in 1985, using a queer slur and other expletives. The music was added back to Spotify 10 days later. Spotify confirmed to NME in March 2021 that Kakao M, a South Korean entertainment company, would be removing several Korean artists’ catalogs from the streaming platform. “Apart from the misinformation, it sounds similar to what’s happened with some K-pop groups and why their big time producers/whoever ‘owns' them in South Korea won’t let their music be shared on Spotify,” Caroline Rhude, a sophomore studying Spanish and social work at Ohio University, said in a message. Other popular figures on Spotify who are reconsidering their partnership include Brené Brown and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

I'll go no.”Īccording to Spotify’s year-end statistics, "JRE" was the most-streamed podcast among Spotify listeners in 2021. Young wrote that he was inspired to take action after a letter published and signed by over 200 medical professionals called on Spotify to address Rogan’s “concerning history of broadcasting misinformation, particularly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.”
