He asked them to remove his music after his feud with Joe Rogan.

However, it seems that Young doesn’t have a problem with Rogan now.

Now it seems that he has a problem with Daniel Ek himself.

In a letter on his website, Young encouraged Spotify employees to quit.

He wrote, “Get out of that place before it eats up your soul.”

“Daniel Ek is your big problem – not Joe Rogan,” he went on.

He accused Daniel Ek of caring more about profit than art and creativity.

Daniel Ek has yet to respond to Neil Young’s latest statement.
