Busta Rhymes has denied his latest song is racist.

The rapper has received criticism over 'Arab Money', but insists that his detractors have just misunderstood the song, which is actually about the current financial climate.

But I feel a lot of people who had issues with it, they just misunderstood

Speaking about the attacks on the song, Busta said: "It didn't hurt me, because I leave room for error, and I understand what happens in misunderstanding.

"It would have hurt me if people would have understood clearly the agenda of the record and still hated on it. That would have been a little different. But I feel a lot of people who had issues with it, they just misunderstood.

"Even those people, I hope they got a chance to see or get a chance to see what my real intent was and still is - that they got a different level of appreciation."

Busta - who carries messages of support for the song on his BlackBerry - insists that people should be inspired by the track.

He added: "The first time I head it I was like, 'This is genius,'
