"The Harris Family is appalled at the overtly racist and offensive comments directed at Dada 5000 by Joe Rogan who said in an interview that Dada's heart was filled with 'cheeseburgers, fried chicken, and orange soda', mocking the family's statement issued the previous day," a statement distributed by BYB Extreme Fighting read.
