Kanye West's Pro-Hitler Song Gets Millions Of Streams On X As Other Platforms Ban It [View all]

With a new single racking up millions of streams, Kanye West is continuing to spread alarming antisemitic rhetoric.

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.”
