Joe Rogan has slammed calls to cancel him after he became embroiled in controversy regarding discussions he had with doctors on his podcast about the Covid-19 vaccine as well as his use of the n-word. In the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience on Tuesday, the 54-year-old podcaster blasted the "judgmental, unforgiving f***s" who tried to get his show taken off Spotify. "This is a political hit job," he said repeatedly, per the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/02/09/joe-rogan-slams-attempt-to-cancel-him-over-spotify-podcast/">New York Post</a>. "They're taking all this stuff that I’ve ever said that's wrong and smooshing it all together," he said, in reference to the video montage of him saying the n-word, which went viral recently. <img class="wp-image-1263144323 " src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/2HJ40MJ-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="737" height="1066" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: RW/MediaPunch Inc.]] Rogan had taken to Instagram over the weekend to apologize for his previous use of the slur while drawing attention to the fact that the clips were taken out of context and that he "never used it to be racist." "I'm making this video to talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I’ve ever had to talk about publicly," he said at the time. "There's a video that's out, that’s a compilation of me saying the n-word. It's a video that’s made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together, and it looks f****** horrible, even to me." During his podcast, he took aim at those who "like to dig up old things that you said" to "get you in trouble" like it's "a game." <img class=" wp-image-1263144324" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/2HJ40KX-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="677" height="1016" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: MediaPunch Inc / Alamy]] "It’s not productive. Like, if you’re spending all your time trying to attack a person versus trying to better yourself, you’re not gonna do as well. You’re wasting time. … That’s why they’re not successful. It’s like it’s literally poison for yourself," he said. Last month, artists including <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/joe-rogan-responds-to-spotify-controversy-after-neil-young-and-joni-mitchell-pull-music">Neil Young and Joni Mitchell</a> decided to remove their music from Spotify, accusing the platform of spreading misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine. This was regarding an episode in which Rogan interviewed Robert Malone, a scientist who claims people are being "hypnotized" into following Covid-19 guidelines due to "mass formation psychosis." <h6>Featured image credit: Sipa US / Alamy</h6>
