AceShowbiz - J. Cole and Drake came under fire upon the release of "Jodeci Freestyle" off the latter's "Care Package" compilation. Many people were left upset upon reading the former's bars, which read, "Go check the numbers, dummy, that's just me gettin' started/ I'm artistic, you n***as is autistic, retarded."
Following the criticism, J. Cole's controversial rhyme was cut out. According to Billboard, "the second portion following 'you' is censored completely, with just the beat oddly being heard alone for a few seconds."
