“This Is America” Rapper Childish Gambino Issues Eye-Opening Statement on the Joe Rogan-Spotify Controversies

American actor, singer, and songwriter Donald Glover recently talked about legendary UFC commentator Joe Rogan and his controversies. Rogan hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the world with over 10 million listeners per episode on Spotify.

On his podcast, Rogan discusses a wide range of topics with his guests who come from different professional backgrounds. Some of his opinions and thoughts on social and political matters became news and caused unwanted controversies.

Recently, Spotify removed 70 of his episodes from the platform after a recent controversy regarding false information.

Donald Glover, who goes by the stage name ‘Childish Gambino’, recently interviewed himself.

Yes, in a unique interview concept by the Interview Magazine, Glover interviewed himself from his farm. Donald Glover asked himself about his thoughts on outspoken public figures like Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle, often being at the receiving end.

He first skipped the question about Rogan, but soon came back to it and answered it with a full heart. To a certain degree, he backed Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle in their attempt to give their opinions without keeping money in their mind.

According to ‘Childish Gambino’, most of the opinions on the internet are based on economic benefits and are an “artificial rage”.

He said, “You can’t believe the good or bad stuff now because it’s all just the economy around you. There’s money and clout in loving and hating you. You have to sift through and try and see if someone is debating in good faith. The internet doesn’t provide a large-enough amount of that.”

“I’ll tie in my Joe Rogan and Chappelle answer now, too. A lot of people believe both of them are doing what they do in good faith. It’s not cynical. It’s not CNN or Fox. It doesn’t feel to most people like they’re trying to sell something. People are looking for other people to interact with in good faith. Because a lot of this rage is artificial. People have emotional diabetes and don’t even know it,” Glover added.

The “This Is America” fame rapper has faced criticism and controversies himself during his career for being outspoken in his art.

Joe Rogan on Conor McGregor

A clear example of Joe Rogan being exquisitely outspoken and having an unwavering opinion is how he speaks about UFC and its stars. While many entities related to the promotion have their own preferences, Rogan goes on a case-by-case basis.

Recently, he defended Conor McGregor amid people discrediting him after the Dustin Poirier trilogy fight. 

Rogan said, “I did not enjoy the way people who are not MMA experts were talking about the conclusion of that fight. And they were saying that ‘Conor is old, Conor’s done. He doesn’t have the anger anymore or the drive to become a champ anymore.”

“Horsesh*t! You people don’t know anything about MMA.”

But he also clamped down on McGregor’s hopes of becoming the welterweight champion, giving ‘The Notorious’ an explicit reality check. The Irishman recently called out ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ for a title fight at 170lbs as his comeback fight.

McGregor believed he could easily counter Usman’s skills and defeat him to become the champ. Despite knowing the fact that Kamaru Usman is the UFC’s top pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

It would make him the first fighter in the history of UFC to have won gold in three different divisions. But Rogan warned McGregor of the consequences and said Usman is as good as it gets at 170lbs. In fact, he asked ‘The Notorious’ to be careful about what he asked for.
