'I hear you as well as everyone here 100% I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I've become educated to his complete narrative,' Johnson replied. 'Learning moment for me.'

Johnson acknowledged his ignorance on the matter on Twitter. In a six-minute video posted on Instagram over the weekend, Rogan offered his 'deepest apologies,' acknowledging that his use of the N-word on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' looked 'terrible' and calling his use of the racist slur 'regretful' and 'shameful.' On Saturday, Rogan apologized for his second controversy in two weeks after a compilation surfaced that showed him using a racial slur in 12 years' worth of episodes. 'Have you actually listened to this man's many racist statements about Black people?' 'You're a hero to many people and using your platform to defend Joe Rogan, a guy that used and laughed about using the N word dozens of times, is a terrible use of your power,' Winslow wrote to Johnson on Twitter Feb. However, just a few days later, Johnson walked back on his support for Rogan after author Don Winslow criticized him for supporting Rogan, pointing out the podcaster's repeated use of a racial slur in the past.
