CNN —Spotify executive and popular podcaster Bill Simmons has hit out at Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, labeling them “grifters,” after their multi-year partnership with Spotify ended on Friday.
“I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation,” Simmons said on his self-titled podcast Friday.
I have got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea.
John Nacion Imaging/ShutterstockCNN has reached out to both Archewell and Spotify for comment on Simmons’ remarks.
Simmons previously criticized Harry in a January 2023 episode of his podcast, saying that he was “so embarrassed” to share Spotify with him.
