Kanye West's Heil Hitler song gets millions of views on X
Bangkok Post
|May 21, 2025
A new song by rapper Kanye West glorifying Nazi leader Adolf Hitler has racked up millions of views on Elon Musk’s X platform, after it was banned by other sites such as YouTube.
-
West — the winner of 24 Grammys over the course of his career in hip-hop — in recent years has made repeated anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi statements.
Heil Hitler was released on May 8 by the 47-year-old artist who now prefers to go by Ye — the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
As of Saturday, the video had been seen nearly 10 million times.
In the clip, dozens of black men — wearing animal pelts and masks, and standing in a block formation — chant the title of the song, as West raps about being misunderstood and his custody battle with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
The song ends with an extract of a speech by the Nazi dictator.
