Universal Music Group has been told to change name of soon to be released Nas album "N*gger" or risk losing $84 million in state investments a Fort Greene assemblyman said this week.

“[They are] profiting from a racial slur that has been used to dehumanize people of color for centuries,” said Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries (D–Fort Greene).

“It is time for Nas and other hip-hop artists to clean up their act and stop flooding the airwaves with the N-word.”
