Joe Rogan has officially put Spotify on notice.
The UFC commentator and host of The Joe Rogan Experience threatened Tuesday to leave the streaming giant and walk away from a roughly $200 million deal, according to a report.
“I will quit. If it gets to a point that I can’t do it anymore, where I have to do it in some sort of weird way where I walk on eggshells and mind my P’s and Q’s, f*** that!” Rogan told MMA fighter Josh Barnett.

The podcast industry is cutthroat, the 54-year-old Rogan said, referencing his recent controversies surrounding remarks about COVID-19 and his controversial use of racial slurs in the past.
He said there is a risk of being canceled for “every little thing.”
“There’s more people poring over it, but it’s the same thing. I do it the same way,” according to Rogan. “If I become something different because it grew bigger, I will quit.”
The podcast host signed with Spotify in 2020 and has roughly one year left on his contract, the report noted.
He has been hit with multiple content advisory warnings, and at least 113 episodes have been removed from the streaming platform, according to the report.

Rogan said his job “requires sincerity. Without it, this show doesn’t have any success.”
