Back when Joe Rogan revealed ‘best way to handle Kanye West’
Joe Rogan, in episode #1889 featuring Dr.Phil., shared his thoughts on how to handle the controversial rapper Kanye West. Rogan stated that the best way to handle West is to have a conversation with him and correct any inaccuracies or misrepresentations in his statements. Lex Friedman, a podcast host who had previously interviewed West, exemplified this approach. Moreover, this isn’t the first time that Rogan is talking about Kanye West. The UFC commentator has discussed the reason behind West’s downfall a few months ago on JRE.
Rogan’s approach emphasizes open dialogue and constructive criticism. Rather than simply dismissing West’s ideas or statements, the popular podcaster suggests that it’s important to engage and to provide counterpoints. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of West’s views and can help to promote greater understanding and compassion.

By following Rogan’s advice, we can work towards a more informed and tolerant society.
