Radio station Galaxy FM has suspended two broadcasters for playing a controversial new song which some claim is offensive.
The title of Busta Rhymes' single Arab Money has been branded racist and the rapper is accused of mixing up elements of the Koran.
The song has barely been aired in the UK for fear of upsetting listeners.
And Galaxy confirmed "a number" of complaints were received when it was played in Birmingham and Yorkshire on Saturday night.
Busta Rhymes - real name Trevor Smith - insists he is "biggin' up" Arab culture.
But Galaxy's spokesman apologised for any offence caused by the track and said: "Both the DJ and producer have been suspended pending a full inquiry."
