Joe Rogan Apologizes For Racial Slurs After Video Surfaces

NEW YORK (AP) โ€” Spotifyโ€™s popular U.S. podcaster Joe Rogan has apologized after a video compilation surfaced that showed him using racial slurs in clips of episodes over a 12-year span.

In a video posted on his Instagram account on Saturday, Rogan who hosts a podcast called โ€œThe Joe Rogan Experience,โ€ said his use of the slurs was the โ€œmost regretful and shameful thing that Iโ€™ve ever had to talk about publicly.โ€

But he said the clips were “taken out of context.โ€

Roganโ€™s mea culpa comes after Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter India.Arie announced Thursday that she was pulling her music from Spotify, referencing Roganโ€™s racial slurs.
