On Thursday, the 24x Grammy winner released ‘Heil Hitler’ on multiple streaming platforms, many of which have since removed the track while it continues to rack up millions of streams on Elon Musk‘s X, along with the single’s art, which resembles a swastika.
As of Saturday, the song remains on the social media site while Spotify, Soundcloud and other platforms have worked to remove it.
“‘Heil Hitler’ by Ye has been banned by all digital streaming platforms while ‘Rednecks’ by Randy Newman remains streamable,” wrote West in a post. “They’re literally keeping the n—s down.”

(109,932 posts)even when the latter have the support of an entire family of equally "rich and powerful" members. By that, I am referencing Kim Kardashian's seeming unwillingness to end Kanye's parental rights over the four young kids. I have to think a judge would be sympathetic and concerned for his "influence" on his children.
Not my business? Sure, but I do think there is a societal interest in the children of this world, so this is the one issue I'll pay a bit of attention to--despite my intense disdain for the entirety of the celebrity "adults" involved.
That having been said, Kanye should either get the help he needs for his mental disorder(s) or face the fact that his pro-Nazism is not going to be defended by anyone with a conscience in the US.

We all KNOW what Hitler would've done to little Kanye, even if he and his followers don't.
And I, for one, am not inclined to cut him any slack for his alleged "mental issues."
Fuck him.
