He doesn't curse in his music. He explained it in an interview I watched or heard years back but I can't remember the exact reason.

Something to do with cursing and using the word nikka and having audiences say it back to him didn't feel right. I remember he said he still cursing in real life but just not in the music.

And also something about saving money making and mixing clean versions and clean music gets licensed more.

EDIT: Found it. Timestamped


Still remember when he dropped that one album and people were mad saying because he didn't curse he was coming across as preachy

Saw him live a couple of months back, he was cussing and saying nikka during the interludes with the audience. He just doesn't curse on track - I know he said before it's also easier financially in terms of having clean tracks on streaming apps.

This album is incredible. Besides the few miss steps already mentioned in this thread, this is one of his best albums to date
