DJ Suspended Over Busta Rhymes - "Arab Money" Song

Busta Rhymes is STILL catching heat for his latest single "Arab Money". Just recently an award winning DJ in Scotland aired the song which immediately caught fire and received plenty of complaints resulting in the DJ being suspended from work.

The owners of the company (Global Radio)released an official statement.
“Galaxy would like to apologize to all our listeners for the airing of this song. It was never Galaxy’s intent to offend its listeners and never will be. A full internal investigation has now commenced. Galaxy would like to apologize for any offense however unintentionally caused.”
Busta Rhymes addressed the situation in an interview on December 1.
“The most irrelevant thing can be justified as a reason to fire somebody nowadays, Ain’t nobody safe. This recession has f***ed the whole game up and everybody is on they eggshells when they walk around. So I just feel like, that’s really more so what it’s about than anything else and until I start to get some direct awareness of the Arab culture having an issue, ya know, we’re going to continue to move forward with our campaign.”
He also expressed his respect for the Arab community and and pointed out he wasn't trying to get publicity
“I really only respect the Arab culture, I ain’t really trying to pay no attention to, ya know, these little people in political positions and executive positions that ain’t Arab culture oriented people because a lot of the times, what are you really showing all of this concern for? Is it really concern for the people or concern for your job?”
