In addition to being Arabic for infidel, the word is also a South African equivalent of the English n-word.

It also refers to sorghum bicolor, a species of grain found in Kansas.

I think it was the movie Blood Diamond where Leo DiCaprio uses this word and is scolded by the female lead.

Of course I had to look it up.

I don't know how "strong" or "offensive" it really is.

I've seen "kaffir" written many times.

"Kaafir", not so much.

Guess it depends on who is saying it in a rap video.
