He has since been sacked and quite rightfully so imo because he was in a responsible position and a role model for the young.

To glorify rape and sexual violence is totally wrong and since that show has one of the highest ratings in the country the producers were right to listen to the advertisers who were threatening to pull their adverts unless he was sacked.

I see no point for rap in general much less the filthy lyrics. It all makes me gag. It was invented for people who can't sing and have no musical ability whatsoever.
