Chuck D is making demands of Elon Musk now that Twitter is banning bad words again. The legendary icon wants to see the platform make serious change and do something about the pervasive use of the N-word on the platform.

On Friday, the Public Enemy frontman asked Elon Musk directly to ban the word.

"Yo @elonmusk the next thing twitter should do is ban the N Word the N**ga & ni**er by anyone that uses it here," Chuck tweeted. "Then we know things are pointing in an equalized direction. Then you can convince Zuck to do the same at IG FB get it outta here suspend em. It’s as bad as that symbol."

"It ain’t like kicking somebody’s tail in a fight," he continued. "It’s all words and images here .. keyboard sht … so I’m not talking about anywhere else except social media right now because it can be done .. there gonna be a lotta people backbroke over their ‘pet’ getting smashed on here."

Chuck has been a vocal critic of the N-word for several years. His latest stance comes on the heels of Kanye West being re-banned from Twitter for antisemitic remarks and imagery; following West's initial reinstatement by Musk after the controversial rapper had been previously banned for similar reasons.

For his part, Chuck also had words for those who disagreed with his position.

"Social Medias pet dog .. hey the original MC rule was never get lazy with W O R D S," he tweeted. "They have impact..some folk gettin all ass-hurt because I suggested taking one bad tooth out of their keyboard grill. It’s not censorship it’s against stupidsht. Everything is mixed in 1 BS bowl."
