In the nearly six-minute video, Rogan said his use of the n-word was taken out of context and that he 'never used it to be racist,' while his 'Planet of the Apes' comment was a 'f**king Idiotic thing to say.'
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter published the clips to clarify that her decision on Jan. 31 to publicly support Young and other musicians pulling their music from the streamer was about more than just “his Covid interviews” on the Spotify exclusive podcast , but was also about Rogan’s history of “language around race.”
In his nearly six-minute video, Rogan said he hasn’t used the n-word “in years” and that he only used it within certain contexts. That includes quoting someone, such as Redd Foxx saying it on TV in the 1970s or its repeated use inHe also pointed to him saying it when repeating the title of Richard Pryor’s third comedy album.
“Now I know that to most people there’s no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast. And I agree with that now,” he said. “I haven’t said it in years. But for a long time when I would bring that word up, like if it would come up in conversation, instead of saying the n-word I would just say the word. I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing.
Rogan went on to say that these were the only contexts in which he used the n-word and defended himself, stating that he’s “not racist.”
