Ye's Antisemitic Song Praising Hitler Garners 6.5 Million Views on X Amid Platform Moderation Failures

Ye, formerly Kanye West, released a music video for his song 'Heil Hitler' on Thursday, May 8, 2025, which remained on his X account but was removed from YouTube and SoundCloud.
He released the song following years of public antisemitic statements and actions, including selling swastika T-shirts and associating with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
The militant-style video depicts Black men repeating the song's lyrics including the phrase 'n**** Heil Hitler' and ends with a 1935 Adolf Hitler speech sample.
Ye expressed frustrations including the loss of custody of his children and the freezing of his financial accounts, rapping, "Man, they took my kids away from me, then they locked down my bank account," while AJC CEO Ted Deutch denounced the song as "obvious antisemitism" and described it as "disgusting."
The release drew widespread condemnation, further isolating Ye from the music industry and raising calls for stronger opposition to his ongoing antisemitic content.
