Atlanta R&B singer India Arie told Don Lemon on CNN Monday night that she was cool with Joe Rogan’s apology regarding his regular use of a racial slur on his podcast over the years.
She pulled her music off Spotify last week, joining artists like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young.
Arie last week fed the flames of the controversy by posting a video compilation of Rogan using the word over 12 years of his popular podcast. Rogan apologized on Sunday. Though he said the bits were “taken out of context,” he noted that “it looks [expletive] horrible. Even to me.”
