That came after singer India Arie last week said she was pulling her music and podcasts off Spotify, citing Rogan\u2019s \u2018language around race\u2019; she reposted a video on Instagram compiling 24 times Rogan used the N-word on his podcast, and the resurfaced clip soon went viral,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/digital\/news\/joe-rogan-backlash-n-word-political-hit-job-1235175390\/\">Variety<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with his guest, comedian Akaash Singh, Rogan asserted, \u201cIn a lot of ways, all this is a relief, \u2019cause that video had always been out there. It\u2019s like, this is a political hit job. And so they\u2019re taking all this stuff that I\u2019ve ever said that\u2019s &nbsp;wrong, and smushing it all together. But it\u2019s good \u2019cause it makes me address some s*** that I really wish wasn\u2019t out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singh commented, \u201cYou know why I\u2019m proud of you? Because I think comedians have for years done this immature thing where it\u2019s like we don\u2019t apologize. We say whatever we want. You can apologize if you say some wild s*** and we\u2019ve all said some wild s*** and you apologized and owned that it was wrong. Good for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should apologize if you regret something,\u201d Rogan stated. \u201cThis idea that you should never apologize, like if you regret something, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with apologizing. But I do think you have to be very careful not to apologize for nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cited Awkwafina\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/awkwafina-responds-aave-blaccent-cultural-appropriation-criticism-controversy-1235087734\/\">statement<\/a> last week regarding her use of a \u201cblaccent,\u201d in which she stated, \u201cAs a non-black POC, I stand by the fact that I will always listen and work tirelessly to understand the history and context of AAVE, what is deemed appropriate or backwards towards the progress of ANY and EVERY marginalized group. But I must emphasize: to mock, belittle or to be unkind in any way possible at the expense of others is: Simply. Not. My. Nature. It never has, and it never was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan commented, \u201cThey were saying it was a \u2018blaccent,\u2019 which is \u2014 come on, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you just have to be yourself. I really do,\u201d Rogan said later. &nbsp;\u201cAnd all this nonsense of worrying what your base is, is crazy. It\u2019s like, \u2018Who are you?\u2019 You are you. If you start thinking I have to be who these other people want me to be because they\u2019re the ones that make me popular, you\u2019re f*****.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"cue\">Former police officer and political commentator Brandon Tatum, who is black, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/brandon-tatum-talks-myth-of-the-n-word-in-response-to-joe-rogan-controversy-rogan-did-nothing-wrong\/\">commented<\/a> earlier this week regarding Rogan, saying, \u201cIf you had no ill intentions when you said the word, they can kiss your \u2014 you know what. \u2026 Everybody knows you\u2019re not racist. You\u2019ve got people of all races and demographics that watch your show \u2014 I watch your show all the time \u2026 Nobody in their right mind thinks Joe Rogan is racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
