Jemele Hill is out at Spotify after daring the company to pay her or another black host $100 million to match Joe Rogan
[OutKick] Update: Jemele Hill says what has been reported about her isn’t true. She says her podcast was not “canceled,” but didn’t deny the cited Bloomberg report she is “leaving” Spotify.In fact, she states she is leaving due to “investment and growth” differences, which Bloomberg reported — and is cited below — was due to Spotify needing “to rein in costs and deliver profits.” She also says she never directly “asked Spotify for $100 million.” That is correct. But as also reported below, she publicly challenged Spotify to “hand $100 million to somebody who is black.” “Somebody,” as in one person — meaning herself or another black podcaster, as reported. It’s unclear what Hill sought to accomplish with her tweet. Perhaps all she cleared up is that she would be out of the company but has not yet left. Anyway, you can read the Bloomberg report here, and our context below: Posted by: DooDahMan 2023-06-03 |
