Only a day after its release, Kanye West’s most recent track, “Heil Hitler,” appears to have been taken down from all streaming services.
After being accused of hate speech, the song was purportedly removed from Soundcloud and is currently being banned on X.
On social media, West blasted the decision, posting: “Kanye West’s ‘Heil Hitler’ Removed From All Streaming Platforms.”
Additionally, he accused platforms of having double standards, using the contentious song “Rednecks” by Randy Newman, which contains a lot of swearing, as an example.
Other songs, like John Lennon’s “Woman is the N-gger of the World,” were also cited by some fans as further instances of the streaming services’ hypocrisy.
Apple Music and Spotify, two streaming services, have not yet responded.
West intensifies his accusations that he is being prevented from visiting his four children in “Heil Hitler.”
“I still can’t see my kids / With all this money and fame I still can’t get my kids back,” he raps.
Prior to the song’s refrain of “N-gga, Heil Hitler,” West raps, “I became a Nazi yet bitch, I’m the villain.”
The song’s hook, “N-gga Heil Hitler,” is constantly chanted by an all-Black gang of guys standing in formation in the music video. The majority of them are dressed in animal skins covering their heads and shoulders.
West rapped, “N-ggas be acting like f-ggots, I think they might be Drake,” in a prior version of the song that included a jab at Drake.
The song will be on West’s upcoming album Cuck, which has two individuals wearing Ku Klux Klan robes on the cover.
In addition, Cuck will feature a number of other contentious songs, such as “Cousins,” in which West confesses to having an affair with a cousin while they were both young.
