Ye’s announcement comes a few days after Kanye publicly reached out to Rogan requesting a live appearance on the uber popular podcast.
“Would love to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast LIVE this week I have my team trying to get your number Joe I’m in Calabassas Let’s do this my friend,” Ye included a clip of Rogan referencing his “intense” phone call with Kanye.

Rogan has yet to confirm Kanye’s appearance on JRE, but the episode seems very likely. In late 2018, Kanye reached out to Rogan expressing his desire to do a “serious interview” on mental health issues. Rogan responded by telling Kanye he’d be more than willing to have that discussion “for as long you’d like.”
I’ve been trying to do a serious interview speaking on mental health but it seems as though all members of press are afraid to speak to someone who has been diagnosed but is still everyone’s favorite super hero

We’ll have more on this potential interview when the details become available. One thing for sure is that big minds (whether you agree or disagree with the person) seek each other out and eventually shape culture.
