Why Did Joe Rogan Defend $265 Million Worth Justin Bieber From Controversial Critics in 2018

Joe Rogan is a popular podcast host of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ On his podcast, he covers various topics, including sports, entertainment, philosophy, conspiracy theories, etc. Let us look back at when he defended Canadian singer and pop sensation, Justin Bieber on his podcast amidst the controversies in 2018.

JRE #1356 featured Joe Rogan alongside American singer and songwriter, Sturgill Simpson. In one segment, the two spoke about fame and how it plays a big role in one’s life. To give an example of this, Rogan mentioned Justin Bieber.

At this time, a lot of controversies surrounded Bieber, and he was on the news pretty often. Joe Rogan said, “I just think, people like Justin Bieber… like he’s got a way harder road”. Simpson then added, “All things considered… he’s probably handling it okay.”

Rogan agreed with this comment and replied, “He’s handling it phenomenally.” Simpson then mentioned the fact that Bieber was always on the news and being subjected to scrutiny all the time like he was “does things to people.”

Rogan then brought up the similarity between forming an epoxy and Bieber’s situation. He mentioned how, while forming an epoxy, if one adds any unnecessary ingredient such as oil, it is impossible to take it out once fully developed. This is similar to what happens when a young kid bursts into stardom very early.

DIVE DEEPER

Rogan said, “If you’re Justin Bieber, you’ve gone through your whole life under the eye, and it’s gotten bigger and bigger and bigger.” He also mentioned how Bieber didn’t have to struggle like himself, and he didn’t have the “Wondering if you could pay your bill feeling.”

Taking all this into account, Rogan was impressed by how Bieber handled the critics.

Justin Bieber’s Beef With the Stockton Slapper

Justin Bieber is a long-time fan of the UFC and has even attended some events. Bieber has not been shy to support superstar Conor McGregor in his first fight against Nate Diaz.

This sparked a ‘beef’ between Bieber and Diaz after the Canadian singer tweeted that Diaz had a “terrible” style. Diaz clapped back by posting a meme to mock Bieber. However, all this is in the past, as the two settled their differences after meeting in a club and posting a picture together to squash the beef.
