Back in 2006 Jay-Z's lyrics were concerning to China, who decided to ban him from performing in Shanghai because of it. Jay took it in stride, though, and basically let it roll off his shoulders. China is kind of notorious for banning celebrities (like Harrison Ford) and musicians anyway. The Rolling Stones were even banned from performing there until they agreed to not perform songs like 'Brown Sugar' or 'Honky Tonk Woman'.
