Calls to extinguish the career of Rodney Jean-Jacques – a city firefighter who doubles as a rapper on the side – were renewed yesterday after he failed to apologize for writing a song about murdering cops.

Fraternal Order of Police president Bob Eddis had issued an apologize-or-else ultimatum to Jean-Jacques, 30, after the two spoke over the weekend.

Eddis said Jean-Jacques promised to send him a written apology by midnight Sunday.

But the deadline came and went without any word from Jean-Jacques, who earlier had told Eddis that it was his rapping alter-ego, Cal Akbar, who came up with a string of inflammatory song lyrics, including: “I hope the news is taping this, ’cause I’m gonna turn pigs into bacon bits.”

Jean-Jacques appears to be reveling in his newfound notoriety. He now hails himself as “Akbar – Public Enemy #1″ on his MySpace.com page, and prominently features the front cover of Saturday’s Daily News, which detailed the firestorm caused by his lyrics.

Guys, guys, everybody be cool. Let’s chill out and remember the good times, like when the City hired Rodney to make this fun-yet-”street” fire safety clip.
DN: He Don’t Love Them Po’s
