Joe Rogan Spotify Deal: Non Exclusive Contract Despite $250 Million Offer Leaves UFC Champion Dazzled- “Fu*** Gangster”

Throwback to 2020, Joe Rogan, podcast host of ‘JRE,’ sold his rights to Spotify for a whopping $200 Million. At the time, this revelation had raised several eyebrows. Moreover, it is now reported that the relationship between Spotify and Rogan is going to be prolonged. However, this time around, the terms are different and even more robust as Spotify is renewing the contract at $250 Million.

In addition, it is rumored that Spotify will not hold exclusive rights to the podcast as well. This revelation is making headlines and igniting several distinct reactions, including from Sean O’Malley. What does he think about it? Let’s find out.

Sean O’Malley is awestruck hearing Joe Rogan’s renewal contract with the UFC

O’Malley is a fan of Rogan through and through. He has been featured on Rogan’s podcast in the past and shares a great bond with him. Subsequently, he wishes nothing but the best for him and this deal is arguably quite a big break for him. On his podcast, ‘TimboSugarShow,’ his trainer and friend, Tim Welch, revealed the new Spotify deal to him.

To which, he responded, “That is insane. That Is insane if they are paying him that much and it is not going to be exclusive.” Meanwhile, Welch was equally flabbergasted and said, “Damn that’s bad*ss dude that is truly God podcasting dude.” And O’Malley, who was in agreement with what Welch said, added, “That is f*cking Gangster.”

It indeed is quite a big revelation and in many ways, Rogan has been a pioneer of podcasting. Safe to say, he deserves to be raking in the fruits of his labor. However, O’Malley is not the only notable personality to publicly laud Rogan for getting this new deal under the bag.

Steven A Smith is all praise for Joe Rogan

This deal has left many in splits. Many think Rogan is not worthy enough to fetch such a grand deal but Steven A. Smith would beg to differ. According to Smith, The Host of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience,’ has been around the podcast space for now over a decade. His journey has been inspirational as he has worked hard to achieve the feat he has today.

Subsequently, Smith says, “Joe Rogan has about damn near 20 million subscribers. Joe Rogan deserves every penny of that deal, and Joe Rogan, before anybody hates – and I’m not saying there’s a whole bunch of haters out there because there’s no reason to – but you never know. Joe Rogan deserves our respect.”
