Jann Wenner, co-founder of Rolling Stone, has been removed from the board of directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation after making controversial comments about Black and female musicians in an interview. Wenner stated that his book, "The Masters," did not include interviews with Black or female musicians because they were not as articulate on an intellectual level. He faced backlash for his remarks, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced his removal from the board.
