Joe Rogan has responded to a resurfaced video of him using the N-word nearly two dozen times while hosting “The Joe Rogan Experience,” his wildly popular podcast.

Rogan, 54, said the video was made up of “out of context” fragments from “12 years of conversations” on his programme, calling it “the most regretful and embarrassing thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.”

“It looks f–king awful.” Even to me,” she says.

 

“I realise that there is no setting where a white person is ever allowed to speak that word, let alone openly on a podcast,” he said, “and I agree with that now.” It’s been years since I’ve said it.”

He then concedes that he has used the word in the past, but only in the context of the conversation.

“I’d just speak the word instead of saying ‘the N-word.’” People would understand what I was doing as long as it was in context,” I reasoned.

India is a Grammy Award-winning singer.

Arie posted the now-viral video of Rogan on Instagram on Thursday, citing Rogan’s “language around race” and a $100 million contract she says was made on the backs of musicians as reasons for pulling her music from Spotify.

While conceding that social media footage “may be doctored” and/or “taken out of context,” Arie, 46, believes that the comedian and UFC fan “shouldn’t even be using the phrase – don’t even say it, under any circumstances.” Don’t say anything. That is my position. “I’ve always been there.”

However, Rogan maintains that he would frequently discuss comics from the past who utilised the term, or quote pieces from acts such as Lenny Bruce and Paul Mooney.

He went on to discuss his interest with the phrase, as well as the fact that one race is prohibited from using it while another is permitted to do so in a variety of ways.

“It’s an unusual word,” he said, “but it’s not my word to use.” “I never used it to be racist because I’m not racist, but once you have to say ‘I’m not racist,’ you’ve f–ked up, and I’ve clearly f–cked up.”

After being sent off to see the movie with pals in Philadelphia, the podcaster addressed a clip of him referring to a black neighbourhood as “Planet of the Apes.”

Rogan remarked, “I was attempting to make the storey amusing.” “I didn’t say black people are monkeys, and I never said that, but it sure sounded like it.”

“The narrative wasn’t racist, but it sounded awful.”

Following Neil Young’s decision to remove his songs from Spotify due to Rogan’s COVID “misinformation” and anti-vaccine rants, Rogan has been in the limelight.
