Singer and funny man James Blunt has joined the boycott against Spotify and its promotion of the Joe Rogan podcast.
Blunt united with stars Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, who have demanded that Spotify take down their songs unless episodes of the podcast they consider to contain anti-vax sentiment are removed.
Blunt’s Twitter post, though, took a lighter tone, with the songwriter threatening to release more music in protest.
“If @Spotify doesn’t immediately remove @JoeRogan, I will release new music onto the platform. #youwerebeautiful,” he tweeted.
This isn’t the first time Blunt has poked fun at his music as the 47-year-old has a long history of making jokes at his own expense.
In a reaction to a tweet stating “can we all take a moment and remember how terrible James Blunt was”, he quipped “No need. I have an album coming out soon”.
Another one was in response to a tweet that said: “James Blunt had his 15 minutes of fame and disappeared”. He replied: “Even less than that! The song was only three minutes and thirty seconds long”.
While Blunt’s music remains on Spotify, with no new tunes released as yet, Mitchell’s and Young’s has been removed.
Popular podcaster Brene Brown also announced she would not be producing episodes until further notice.
Joe Rogan struck a $135 million deal with Spotify in 2020 and has been very vocal about his anti-vax views.
The 54-year-old made headlines late last year for an embarrassing blunder in which he slammed Australia’s COVID-19 response based on a fake ad.
Rogan, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 in September last year, used the video to renew his criticism of Australia, labelling it a ‘police state’.
“Not only has Australia had the worst reaction to the pandemic with dystopian, police-state measures that are truly inconceivable to the rest of the civilized world, but they also have the absolute dumbest propaganda,” Rogan, who is also UFC commentator, wrote.
