Rap icon and entrepreneur Master P told Yahoo Finance that Spotify should take a hard look at itself in the mirror right now.<\/p>\n
\"So the thing is, I feel like they just have to have the right people to represent them and they got to get rid of the wrong people. And I see what's going on, and I just think that everybody, nobody's perfect. So I'm praying that they get it right with the right people and I think that they'll be alright with that,\" Master P (Percy Miller) said in an interview.<\/p>\n
The comments come as Spotify continues to deal with backlash from controversial podcaster Joe Rogan, who has apologized for using racial slurs while also still spinning confusion on COVID-19 vaccines and mask wearing. Such commentary has triggered several artists to pull their music from the platform, including Neil Young.<\/p>\n
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said recently he doesn't believe \"silencing\" Rogan is the answer. The company has since chosen to remove dozens of Rogan's older shows from the platform.<\/p>\n
Master P said he hasn't paid too much attention to the uproar, more so watching it from afar.<\/p>\n
\"I haven't gotten into it yet. I'm really ... hasn't been in the music business in 20 years, so I'm more into the product,\" the musician added.<\/p>\n

To that end, the well-know entrepreneur who made a run at buying Reebok from Adidas last year continues to enter into new ventures.<\/p>\n
Master P is pushing into grocery aisles with his affordable Rap Snacks product line. He recently also launched a self-serve ice cream machine.<\/p>\n
\"I think it's important to be able to have some balance in any supermarket,\" Master P said. \"I feel like we are opening up doors in a lot of supermarkets and grocery stores to say you know what? Let's put some of these African American and Latino products onto the shelves.\"<\/p>\n
