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 former royals’ $20 million cope with Spotify got here to an finish, although it’s not completely clear what occurred. While 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!
According to 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! Back 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 consider it was the corporate who was sad and never vice versa.

Well, we bought one other large indicator it was Spotify who was sad on Friday. After information broke of the breakup, Bill 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 count on he may 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. In specific 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 collection 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 ebook the podcasts or something. All they wanted to do was provide you with concepts, present up, and speak, and everybody would have been pleased! Right? No offense, however they couldn’t do higher than a single present? They have so many pursuits and passions…
Just off the highest of our heads, how a few present the place they do a type of double dates with different A-list celeb {couples}? It would assist of us to narrate to them. Or a present the place environmental specialists come on and train them issues? Heck, they may have executed a Suits rewatch podcast, and million folks would have tuned in! Probably extra folks than watched Suits!
What do YOU consider Bill Simmons’ jab? Is he proper??
