It’s splitsville for Neil Young and Spotify.
Neil Young pulled no punches in a blistering open letter to Spotify posted Wednesday. He accused the company of knowingly profiting off misinformation about COVID-19 and called it “the home of life threatening COVID misinformation. Lies being sold for money.”
The move will be a financially damaging one for Young and Warner Bros., his record label, according to the musician. More than half of the people who stream his music do so via Spotify. According to Spotify’s own metrics, his songs enjoy over 6 million monthly listens, and 2.4 million people follow him.
Rogan has an exclusive deal with Spotify to distribute his show, signed in May 2020. His contract is reportedly worth $100 million.
