On Friday some bombshell information dropped about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Or ought to we are saying there was a bombshell about being “dropped”?
The previous royals’ $20 million take care of Spotify got here to an finish, although it’s not completely clear what occurred. Whereas some Harry and Meghan sources say they have been seeking to department out from the streaming community, others declare it was Spotify who canned the Sussexes!
Based on these insiders, the corporate was sad they have been paying out a lot for a single podcast. After three years, Harry and Meghan had solely launched a single present, Archetypes. And whereas it was an enormous hit, that’s a LOT of cash for one hit podcast! Again in 2021, earlier than Archetypes, when it had been over a yr with ZERO content material, we heard very related rumblings. So we’re inclined to imagine it was the corporate who was sad and never vice versa.

Properly, we received one other massive indicator it was Spotify who was sad on Friday. After information broke of the breakup, Invoice Simmons weighed in on his personal podcast! The sportscaster isn’t only a fellow podcaster, he’s additionally Spotify’s head of worldwide sports activities content material. So we’d anticipate he might need a bit extra perception than most. And he raked the Sussexes over the coals, blasting them for being “lazy”! He even implied they’d scammed Spotify for all that cash with out ever giving something again, mocking:
“‘The f**king grifters.’ That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them.”
Dayum!
It’s not the primary time we’ve heard the “lazy” accusation. Particularly they have been seen as unproductive in comparison with the Obamas, who — over the course of two years, put out The Michelle Obama Podcast and Renegades: Born within the USA, a sequence the place Barack Obama had lengthy talks with Bruce Springsteen.
If Harry and Meghan have been getting a lot cash for thus little work, why not do this work?? We imply, it’s not like they needed to edit or e book the podcasts or something. All they wanted to do was provide you with concepts, present up, and discuss, and everybody would have been joyful! Proper? No offense, however they couldn’t do higher than a single present? They’ve so many pursuits and passions…
Simply off the highest of our heads, how a few present the place they do a form of double dates with different A-list celeb {couples}? It will assist of us to narrate to them. Or a present the place environmental specialists come on and educate them issues? Heck, they may have finished a Fits rewatch podcast, and million individuals would have tuned in! Most likely extra individuals than watched Fits!
What do YOU consider Invoice Simmons’ jab? Is he proper??
