BILL O'REILLY CONDEMNATION

Jadakiss attracted some Controversy and Condemnation from well-known Commentator Bill O'Reilly . O'Reilly labeled him a "smear merchant" due to the song "Why?", specifically lyrics stating Jada's belief that George W. Bush coordinated the September 11, 2001 Attacks :

"Why do niggas push pounds of powder? Why did Bush knock down the Towers ?"

O'Reilly took the position that the President should be allowed to sue Jadakiss for slander. The track was eventually banned on some radio stations or played with the lyrics in question censored.
