''Platinum'' Max Caster is a wrestler with AEW (who had a trans women's champion) with a rapping gimmick, part of a tag team called The Acclaimed. Portraying bad guys ("heels") his raps often touch on pop culture and also controversial statements. Earlier this year a rap mentioned Dr Seuss being cancelled, Lola Bunny's chest and "got blood on my hands like I'm Governor Cuomo":

Last week for their taped YouTube show he mentioned Simone Biles, the 2006 Duke Lacrosse rape allegations scandal, called PCR tests "fake" and alluded to a woman wrestler's vagina:

It was seen live in front of 7000 people in the area then edited by the company without incident then was broadcast on their YouTube show "AEW Dark". After it went online, the wokescolds got mad because Biles was a rape victim and nobody's allowed to be a bad guy, even the literal bad guys.

The boss of the promotion is Tony Khan- a woke leftist who banned Hulk Hogan's ex-wife for liking Trump. His dad is Shahid Khan, a billionaire who owns the Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL) & UK footy club Fulham F.C. Tony apologized for the rap:

While discussing the incident with hosts Dave LaGreca and Tommy Dreamer, Khan described Caster’s rap as ‘awful’, while also revealing he missed the segment due to not being in the Gorilla position at the time. Khan further added that the editors should’ve have taken the rap out and, going forward, he will now be taking over the editing duties himself for Dark.

“Last night on Dark, Max Caster’s rap was terrible,” Khan said. “I was not out there in the moment when he did it. It was not during Dynamite, I was out back when Max had said this rap. I had not heard it until last night, truthfully. In the editing process it should’ve been caught. We deleted the episode and reposted it with that edited out, but it shouldn’t have aired.

Now Caster's apparently been suspended.

The Acclaimed (Caster, Anthony Bowens) vs. Hunter Knott and Rosaria Grillo had been announced for tonight’s AEW Dark episode on YouTube, but AEW deleted the Twitter announcement and re-posted it, with on mention of that match. It was speculated that The Acclaimed was pulled from tonight’s show due to fallout from last week’s controversial rap by Caster on the 100th episode of Dark. For those who missed it, AEW edited Caster’s controversial rap out of last Tuesday’s Dark show after he made controversial references to Olympian Simone Biles, the 2006 Duke Lacrosse rape allegations scandal, and AEW’s Julia Hart.

AEW filed copyright claims to have the footage removed from social media.

In an update, Caster has been suspended for two months without pay, according to Ringside News. It was noted that Caster must also enter sensitivity training, and pass those courses before being brought back.

After The Acclaimed’s match was pulled from AEW Dark earlier this morning, Caster removed references to the team and to AEW from his Twitter, but he is still with the company, just suspended. Caster has been quiet on social media since last week’s promo was edited from the 100th episode of Dark.

A couple weeks ago AEW got in trouble when a Dominos Pizza ad aired right after Chris Jericho's face was sliced open with a pizza cutter by Nick Gage, a "deathmatch" (ie garbage) wrestler featured on Vice's "The Dark Side of the Ring" because he went to prison for robbing a bank and in a match almost killing David Arquette.

Khan has never apologized for hiring a literal convicted criminal, luckily he never made an offensive rap!
