    If you’re asking that then you first need to ask what the distinction between the two is. and further does it even make sense for one to spin and not the other

      Is there not a distinction? I assume the singularity at its center has different properties than the matter outside of that point.

      Note: I have a rudimentary understanding of what black holes and their components are.

        Even if there is heterogeneity inside the system, that does not indicate severability or that the whole system is made up of smaller constituent systems.
