India Arie Speaks On Joe Rogan’s N-Word Apology, Says She Doesn’t Believe In Cancel Culture

Joe Rogan’s apology may not have won over everyone in the world, but it was enough to satisfy 46-year-old India Arie, who put the podcaster on blast earlier this month for his frequent use of the n-word in at least 70 past episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience.

“It looks f*cking horrible, even to me,” the New Jersey native told his Instagram followers in an apology video after the damning clip went viral. “I know that to most people, there is 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.”

After her chat with Don Lemon began circulating online, Arie shared a video to her own Instagram page, sharing some further thoughts on the situation. “To be very clear, I never called him a racist,” she said about halfway through the upload. – Source
