Ye (yep, Kanye West) stirred the internet again, this time claiming that his freshly released track, titled “Heil Hitler,” has been pulled from every major streaming platform.
The song briefly showed up on SoundCloud on May 8 but vanished soon after. According to Ye, platforms aren’t allowing the track to stay up. He ranted on X, saying, “Heil Hitler by Ye has been banned by all digital streaming platforms,” and compared it to Randy Newman’s “Rednecks” still being available. He added, “They’re literally keeping the n-s down.”
The track dives deep into Ye’s personal issues, his rocky custody battle with Kim Kardashian, blocked access to his kids, and banks allegedly freezing his accounts. He raps, “With all this money and fame, I still can’t get my kids back.” The lyrics aren’t subtle. He even repeats the song’s title in the hook and refers to himself as “a Nazi” while calling out how he’s been cast as a villain. The outro? It includes a real German speech from Adolf Hitler, which probably explains the streaming ban.
This drop wasn’t totally unexpected. Teasers had been floating around for weeks, including during streams from Sneako, where fans got a taste of the track’s direction. But things hit the fan fast when the full version hit SoundCloud, only to get yanked.
And that’s not all Ye’s been dealing with this week. Just days earlier, he stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan after the host misquoted Ye’s follower count on X. “You’re not going to take inches off my di–, bro,” Ye snapped before walking out. He ranted about how the media plays his music at weddings and funerals but still treats him like a villain. “There’s so much love in the art that I put out,” he said. “This is what you get for now; we can circle back when you can count.”
Love him or hate him, Ye knows how to grab attention, though not always for the right reasons. Whether the track stays banned or pops back up somewhere else, it’s just another wild chapter in the Ye saga.
