Young gave the platform an ultimatum: his music, or Rogan, despite the popularity of The Joe Rogan Experience. Young has an expansive discography of 40 albums. Rogan has come under fire for making misleading or false comments about the coronaviruses, including suggesting that young healthy people don't need to get vaccine. In December, Rogan talked to Malone, who claimed that as many as one-third of the U.S. population has been hypnotized.
