This comes after artists Neil Young and Joni Mitchell announced that they have removed their material from the site, over the spreading of false information from Spotify podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. 

The podcaster has previously called Covid-19 a "hoax". 

Taking to Instagram, Rogan had this to say on the recent saga.

Since then, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a statement via a spokesperson which was shared online by journalist Oliver Scobie. 

“Since the inception of Archewell [the pair’s non-profit organization], we have worked to address the real-time global misinformation crisis. Hundreds of millions of people are affected by the serious harms of rampant mis- and disinformation every day”, the statement began. 

“Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all too real consequences of COVID-19 misinformation on its platform. We have continued to express our concerns to Spotify to ensure changes to its platform are made to help address this public health crisis”.

“We look to Spotify to meet this moment and are committed to continuing our work together as it does”. 

The couple had signed a deal with the streaming service to host and produce podcasts through their brand Archewell Studio back in 2020.
