"Arab Money" is a song by American rapper Busta Rhymes, released as the lead single from his eighth studio album Back on My B.S.

It is also featured in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto Online to accompany the return of Yusuf Amir in the 2023 Chop Shop update.
The song was officially remixed three times by Busta Rhymes, with different guest appearances accompanying each version.
The first part of the remix features Ron Browz, P Diddy, Swizz Beatz, T-Pain, Akon and Lil Wayne.
The second part of the remix features Ron Browz, Reek Da Villian, Rick Ross, Spliff Star, N.O.R.E., & Red Cafe.
Two other versions of the song were produced, the first one featured the rapper Pitbull and the second featured Rick Ross Explicit Clean Felipe Delermo, speaking with The Fader, described "Arab Money" as part of a string of similar-sounding Ron Browz-produced, Auto-Tune-filled hits, alongside "Pop Champagne" and "Jumping (Out the Window)", saying that all three "sound like they could have been made during the same studio session", a sameness which he assessed would hurt Browz's longevity as a producer.
"[10] The released remix came with even stronger negative reaction, as it quotes lines from the Quran, which (in such a form) is deemed forbidden in most Arab countries.
[12] DJ Steve Sutherland of Galaxy FM[13] was suspended temporarily when he played the song and listeners complained.
