One of Australia’s biggest hip-hop artists has slammed comments from the NSW government, after a Birdz song was withdrawn from rotation at a Sydney school.

When Yorta Yorta rapper Adam Briggs heard that both the NSW premier and education minister were criticising the playing of a track by fellow artist Birdz in a primary school this week, he had two thoughts.

The father said he felt the song’s lyrics – which call Cook a “white devil” and “murderer without licence” – were inappropriate and led to his son asking him if there was “something wrong with being white”. Though the school did not receive any direct complaints from parents, the song has now been pulled from its rotation and the school’s leadership has been counselled about making “appropriate choices” in the future.
