Joe Rogan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the past few days, Joe Rogan has found himself at the center of controversy after defending Kanye West's latest song titled "Heil Hitler" on his podcast. During Tuesday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan called the track "kind of catchy" while speaking with comedian Tom Segura. Though Rogan stated he doesn't think "antisemitism is good," he went on to echo antisemitic stereotypes, claiming that banning the song would support West's narrative about "Jewish people" removing critics "from banking" and that "they run everything." Rogan also made comments about a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace worn by West, suggesting "a Jew sold him that" and claiming "Jewish people have been controlling diamonds for a long time."

In UFC news, an earlier episode of Rogan's podcast resurfaced where he praised UFC fighter Paul Craig's guard technique as "sensational" and "what everybody's guard should strive to be." Craig is scheduled to fight at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, potentially fighting to save his UFC career after a three-fight losing streak.

On social media, Rogan continues to maintain an active presence on Instagram. On May 13, he shared a photo, and on May 14, he posted a video, though details about the content remain limited. His podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience" continues to attract massive audiences and spark public conversations across social media platforms.

There's been speculation about potential new ventures and live events, though these remain unconfirmed. Fans are particularly interested in appearances at his comedy club, The Comedy Mothership in Austin, with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe scheduled to perform there on Thursday, May 22.

Rogan's recent defense of West's antisemitic song represents a significant development in his public profile, placing him once again at the center of heated public discourse. The controversy has quickly become a major headline across multiple news outlets, including The Forward and The Times of Israel, and will likely impact his reputation and influence in the coming weeks.
