F–king Grifters': Spotify Exec Slams Prince Harry And Meghan Markle After Parting Ways — Here's How Much The Royal Couple Could Have Made From Their Podcast Deal
After just one season, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s podcast deal with Spotify has come to an end.
Bill Simmons, head of podcast innovation and monetization at Spotify, is not pleased with the royal couple.
“I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation. ‘The F–king Grifters.’ That’s the podcast we should have launched with them,” Simmons said during his podcast last week.
“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. It’s one of my best stories … F–k them. The grifters.”
Simmons has criticized Prince Harry in the past — even when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were still under contract with Spotify.
“Shoot this guy to the sun,” Simmons said on his podcast in January. “I'm so tired of this guy. What does he bring to the table? He just whines about sh-t and keeps giving interviews. Who gives a sh-t? Who cares about your life? You weren’t even the favorite son.”
