The pop star reportedly didn’t even bother responding to the Duchess of Sussex’s handwritten note, instead having a rep decline on her behalf.
In a joint statement, Spotify and Archewell Audio said they “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series [they] made together.”Markle and Prince Harry parted ways with Spotify after only three years.“Meghan would often ask for changes late in the editing process, at times recruiting senior Spotify executives, including then-chief content officer Dawn Ostroff, to call producers and push them to make changes,” the Journal said in its report Saturday.
Also, Spotify execs reportedly grew annoyed with the amount of time it took Archewell to conceptualize an idea for “Archetypes” and then assemble a production team.Markle only produced 12 episodes of “Archetypes.” The Invictus Games founder, 38, explored the subject of veterans “but couldn’t find a compelling way to tackle the subject in podcast form,” according to the report, which added, “He tossed around subjects such as misinformation and his point of view as someone new to living in America, and at one point considered co-hosting a show with comedian Hasan Minhaj.”The Duke of Sussex’s outlandish concept left execs feeling puzzled, per a previously published Bloomberg article.
Simmons also bashed the couple, calling them “lazy” compared to the Obamas, who also had a Spotify contract.
