On January 31, R&B singer-songwriter India.Arie announced on Instagram that she was pulling her music from Spotify due to their support of Joe Rogan. "Neil Young opened a door that I MUST walk through," she wrote in part. However, the "Steady Love" singer's decision was based on other factors than just Rogan's COVID-19 misinformation. "ITS [sic] ALSO HIS language around race. What I am talking about is RESPECT — who get it and who doesn't," she continued.

She also aimed her fire at Spotify's pay inequality between musicians and Rogan. "Paying musicians a Fraction of a penny? and HIM $100M?" she wrote. "This shows the type of company they are and the company that they keep. I'm tired." In a comment on the post she added, "I wonder who else is tired." Later that week, the four-time Grammy winner elaborated on her beef with Rogan. In an Instagram Story Highlight titled "Boycott," she posted clips of Rogan repeatedly saying the n-word.

"He shouldn't even be uttering the word. Don't even say it, under any context. Don't say it. That's where I stand. I have always stood there," she said. The following day, Rogan addressed those allegations in an Instagram video of his own, calling "the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly." Rogan stated the clips were taken out of context, but agreed that "It's not my word to use."
