On Tuesday, Joe Rogan told an audience in Austin, Texas, that he would not be accepting video-streaming service Rumble’s $100 million offer to move his popular show over from Spotify.
“During a question and answer portion with fans after the show, Rogan was asked if he would accept the $100 million offer from Rumble to move his show from Spotify to the right-wing platform,” The Hollywood Reporter noted. “The comedian said he was planning to stick with the streamer.”
“No, Spotify has hung in with me, inexplicably, let’s see what happens,” Rogan said.
On Monday, YouTube competitor Rumble released a statement in support of Joe Rogan, appearing to offer the podcast host $100 million for a four-year deal.
“Dear Joe,” Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble, wrote. “We stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation. So we’d like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place.”
“How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, for 100 million bucks over four years?” Pavlovski continued. “This is our chance to save the world. And yes, this is totally legit.”
