Nurah Speaks

Black creators are among those removing their content from Spotify. Artists and podcast hosts are concerned about COVID and vaccine misinformation they say is allowed on the platform. The boycott was kicked off after attention was brought to Joe Rogan’s podcast. I am in disbelief that Black creators are mobilizing around the tenor of content produced by Joe Rogan rather than that produced by Black artists for an overwhelmingly Black audience. Scrolling through Spotify, I find Snoop Dogg, Kodak Black, Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion, Pop Smoke and Nicki Minaj among countless other Black artists who have content that degrades Black women, promotes drug abuse, uses abusive language, promotes rape culture and killing within our community. Joe Rogan and COVID and vaccine misinformation are THE WRONG THINGS and Spotify should be the least on our list to boycott.
