FUSE TV - J. Cole Apologizes for Autism-Mocking Lyric

In a lengthy blog post published over the weekend,  J. Cole apologized for lyrics on his verse to Drake's "Jodeci Freestyle" that some have criticized for mocking people with autism.

On the Drake track, Cole rhymes, "Go check the numbers dummy, that's just me gettin' started/I'm artistic, you n-ggas is autistic, retarded."

"These lyrics are offensive and perpetuate negative stereotypes," said autism advocacy group Autism Speaks. "There are many inspiring individuals with autism and other disabilities who have achieved great success across a variety of artforms, including music. We encourage J. Cole to recognize their talents and learn from the positive example they have set for all of us."

Cole must've heard the message, tweeting an apology with a link to a 375-word lengthier blog post:
