Bill Simmons is set to re-sign with Spotify, quieting talks that he “planned to leave the Swedish streaming giant when his deal ran out” next month, according to Ben Smith of SEMAFOR. A source said that Simmons “has recently been engaged in long-term projects that take him beyond his current deal.” The N.Y. Post last year reported that Simmons “had expressed frustration about Spotify’s corporate structure and his ability to add talent he wanted.” That reportedly prompted him to have talks with other companies. Both Simmons and Spotify “downplayed the report at the time” (SEMAFOR, 1/20).
