Barack and Michelle Obama will not be renewing their lucrative podcast partnership with Spotify after clashing with the streaming giant over exclusivity and how much they were expected to appear in episodes.
The former first couple are said to be looking instead for a new deal at Amazon with its Audible service, or at iHeartMedia, according to Bloomberg which first revealed that the arrangement was not being renewed.
The Obama's signed their deal with Spotify in 2019 for an undisclosed sum but it is likely to be in the realm of $30million, the amount scored by Harry and Meghan in 2019 for a multi-year deal.
LOL!What a terrible deal for Spotify. They paid $30 million for the Obamas and got a few months' worths of content.
This proves woke media is a terrible investment. First CNN+ and now the Obama couple.
Joe Rogan attracts a large audience. Barack and Michelle? It just interests a small demographic of people that probably wouldn't even pay for a Spotify membership.
Tough less Spotify but it is good they didn't re-invest in a money loser.
You pretty intentionally lied and dishonestly named your thread. Even your own article pretty clearly states the Obamas quit Spotify.What a terrible deal for Spotify. They paid $30 million for the Obamas and got a few months' worths of content.

At this point I don't think people are outright lying on purpose very often. I think they're completely brainwashed by far right media, Trump's cult of personality, and H8 radio. They just believe because they want to.You pretty intentionally lied and dishonestly named your thread. Even your own article pretty clearly states the Obamas quit Spotify.
You're so incapable of attacking Obama or even Biden on facts or substance so you have to be intentionally dishonest like this. Did you think nobody would call you out on it?
I just think they're illiterate morons with a penchant for lying because they know they're morons.At this point I don't think people are outright lying on purpose very often.

Thread title and quote seem to disagree, the article presents it as if the Obama's didn't like the deal and so did not renew it.What a terrible deal for Spotify. They paid $30 million for the Obamas and got a few months' worths of content.

It's a contract dispute, and the Obamas decided not to renew.What a terrible deal for Spotify. They paid $30 million for the Obamas and got a few months' worths of content.

You should apologize to the board for lying in your thread title. Obama dropped Spotify, not the other way around.
Ouch. That's gotta hurt their egos.What a terrible deal for Spotify. They paid $30 million for the Obamas and got a few months' worths of content.

Not helping the image of right leaning Obama haters who only read headlines without bothering to look at the content.Ouch. That's gotta hurt their egos.
According to Bloomberg (Obama toadies) Spotify dropped themIt's a contract dispute, and the Obamas decided not to renew.
You've completely misrepresented the situation.
Is there any proof Spotify offered to renew the contract?
I doubt Obama generated any paid subscriber growth to their platform. Obama's Podcast is no call your daddy or joe Rogan experience.
Well Bloomberg says Spotify dropped them. Which media is saying it was the other way around?Not helping the image of right leaning Obama haters who only read headlines without bothering to look at the content.
The thread title is a lie as confirmed by the article cited and about 15 subsequent posts clarifying the Obama's dropped Spotify, not the other way around. So much for bruised egos, right?
Is there any proof Spotify offered to renew the contract?
The one cited in the OP. But either way, I don't really care.Well Bloomberg says Spotify dropped them. Which media is saying it was the other way around?
