Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told staffers the company will not be “canceling” Joe Rogan after a clip of the podcaster using the N-word went viral.

“I want to make one point very clear – I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer. We should have clear lines around content and take action when they are crossed, but canceling voices is a slippery slope.”

The podcaster called the viral compilation “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly” on Friday, saying the video was a collage of “out of context” snippets from “12 years of conversations.” Legendary rocker Neil Young and several other notable musicians yanked their catalogs off Spotify after the company failed to cut ties with Rogan over the coronavirus controversy.
