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.

    I’ll break it down for you:

    He can’t have his kids because he doesn’t take his medicine, so he tries to get his kids back by becoming a Nazi. Background singers say N***** Heil Hitler for the chorus and then Hitler is saying shit in German at the end. It’s pretty bad, has no logic, but does have rhyming words.

    If you want to watch it to see how truly shitty it is, here is a nitter link from probably a sketch person. It’s not giving traffic to them because it’s nitter, not X: https://nitter.net/jakeshieldsajj/status/1920322039056838970#m

    Edit: They’re scrubbing the internet of this one, I can’t even get it to show up on archive. https://archive.is/urjlq

      X has become such a shithole that they guy under it asks why someone would ever post a song from a black artist. And of course he doesn’t say “black”.

      I’m wondering how long it took to round up enough backup people to chant heil hitler

      Kim had to put her foot down, and started fighting him on custody back in like March, when she found out from North that Ye was bringing the Tate brothers over to hang out with her. I think it was the first time I’ve ever sided with a Kardashian on anything!

        You’re right and I think I know way to much about that family right now. Putting his 11 year old daughter in a video with Diddy too. Source is questionable, but it’s quoting other sources.

        Kanye and Kim are locked “in a war” after their eldest daughter, North West, featured on a controversial new song with embattled music mogul P Diddy.

        Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Kanye wrote over a series of posts, ranting: "Yes I have beef with people that froze my account, took my kids away and have tried to put me in jail and IT’S STUCK …

    So platforms (rightfully) remove this song, but are happy to let him have an account and make money off his other songs? If they actually cared, he would have been banned a long time ago…

      If they remove his other songs, his fans might gravitate to other platforms. This is why they don’t remove his other songs.

      His other songs like from years ago? Maybe those don’t belong to him and the platform does not remove those because that would punish a completely different entity that has nothing to do with what Kanye does now. All his songs prior to 2012 are owned by Def Jam (universal music subsidiary)

        He’s got another song on that album about showing a younger (?) cousin porn and having sucked his dick. That cousin is in prison for murdering someone. Now, children are curious and child perpetrated sexual abuse is a complicated and messy topic for professionals, but I don’t think you have to be a professional to say “yeah, probably not a good idea to release that.”

        If someone keeps making Nazi comments online, should they be banned or just the comments removed?

        That said until he is taken out of the public spotlight, it is incumbent on everyone to make it clear that these views are rejected in the strongest possible terms.

        Hear hear. RFK? Clinically sick. Musk is likely clinically sick, or at least on too many drugs to brain right. That doesn’t mean they should be “left alone.” You don’t leave alone until they’re deplatformed and powerless. And in Musk’s case, made into some strange fruit.

        He says that, but it’s for attention. He’s rich enough to not suffer any consequences for his behavior.

            Who are you to defend an obvious lunatic provoking outrage for attention?

              Clearly at least part of that is a lie. You’re the one trying to defend the fuckwad by pretending his gibbering is just for attention and not sincere, despicable hate. I’m the one rebuking you for it. You got it entirely fucking backwards.

            There is no sarcasm.

            Why you would think there is?

            He’s a raging a narcissist who will say anything for attention and relevance.

              While I believe he’s doing it for the attention it doesn’t mean he doesn’t believe what he’s saying.

          Did you know Auschwitz had a special luxury VIP section where all the richest Jews got treated really well and each one got a Nazi guard assigned to serve them? If you didn’t know that it’s probably because I just made it up.

          Kanye’s insane to think the people he’s cosying up to won’t turn on him in a second.

      No, everyone knows he’s a lunatic doing it for attention. When you’re that rich, the people who will tell you “No” are very few, and he can afford to ignore them. Unfortunate.

    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…

    I’ll fight that dude. Don’t gotta get ready if you stay ready, right.

    This might be nitpicking, but NBC should be more precise.

    which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust

    Adolf Hitler wanted and ordered the extermination of the Jews and other “undesirables”, no doubt about that or his culpability. But the role of “architect”, the person who designed the logistics for mass killing, is normally ascribed to other people. Adolf Eichmann, the guy the Mossad captured in Argentinia in 1960, is usually called the “Architect of the Holocaust”. Sometimes together with Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler.
