Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.
Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.
On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.
Stop calling him Ye, it’s so cringe and stupid. His name is Kanye West and he’s a black white supremacist
It’s not even a good song.
80% of it is him and a crowd of black guys (who may or may not have been AI generated or paid a tonne to get in on the white supremacist grift) chanting “N***a heil Hitler!” The other 20% comes across as some kind of incel or MRA manifesto, where he’s whinging about being cancelled and denied access to his kids.
Kanye has well and truly lost the plot. He needs to be detained in a psych ward…
The song doesn’t really glorify Hitler. And the title “architect of the Holocaust” is usually attributed to Adolf Eichmann.
That being said, the song is antisemitic and tasteless. West appears to blame all his personal issues on the Jews, which is deeply pathetic.
I’m puzzled how people are viewing songs… is that like being so high you can feel the moon?
I’m curious how can this guy release a song titled “heil hitler” and still in the news?
Just in case people actually believed Elon’s whining that he’s total not a Nazi you guys, cut it out wah.
When did he rename himself Ye?

What a load of fucking bullshit. They must think we are dumb.
OH no we can’t find his music to delete it guess we’ll just keep cashing in on the listens because it’s viral right now then delete it in a week.
Fucking clowns
But let Disney copyright claim it and it wou vanish overnight.
I don’t believe this bullshit
I’m still hoping Washington, Oregon, and California become part of B.C.
Um, you have to be a special sort of moron to be Black and a fan of Hitler…sure, those Nazis might be your bud for a little while, and maybe use your money and fame to fund their cause. Right up until the Night of the Long Knives 2.0.
Look up the black hebrew Israelite movement. It’s really a weird phenomenon.
which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
Oh, that Hitler…
Thought it was Gay Hitler at first for sure.
Ah, so the son of George Washington Hitler became a doctor? Good for him!
If only
I feel like Canada and Mexico are a few days away from being an old man that stands up from his rocking chair, grabs an old shotgun and goes “well. I guess it was comin’”
Whether he needs help or not I don’t know but what I do know is that we need to stop giving this man any attention.
With all these reactionaries - Ye, JK Rowling, PragerU, Heritage Foundation, etc - We need to stop cross-posting their hate speech. All that does is risk spreading their views. I don’t know why people who (rightfully) criticized CNN for airing Trump’s full speeches, do the same with personalities who aren’t even running for political power.
All it does it give mentally-ill attention seekers like Ye encouragement.
Right. Before the internet people like this would be shunned by society until they either changed or stopped trying. The internet giving these people attention and power was one of the worst things to come from it.
