Kanye West is no longer welcome in Australia after he released a song glorifying Nazi leader and mass murderer Adolf Hitler. The song "Heil Hitler," released in May, prompted Australia's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke to announce that West's visa had been revoked.
West is married to Australian designer Bianca Censori and has been to his wife's home country numerous times, but Burke stated that West had "made a lot of offensive comments" during his visits, but it was the song that led his department to take action. He explained, "But my officials looked at it again once he released the Heil Hitler song, and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia."
The song by West, who identifies as a Nazi, has been banned from streaming platforms Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
However, just after "Heil Hitler" was released, in a sudden about-face, Kanye West claimed to be "done with anti-Semitism" and released a new version of the song, now titled "Hallelujah," which replaced references to Nazism with lyrics relating to Christianity. ~Alexandra Heilbron
Never did like him. Better not try to come to Canada! We don't need his type here. In only days of the song released he no longer is a Nazi. B.S.
What's with these American ' music ' people ? I can only presume they are Trump fans , being as ' bright ' as they are . Diddy's gonna do pen time and West is delusional ! And those are the ones so far ( early AM ) in the news .
He hasn’t been right in the mind since the passing of his mother… he needs psychiatric help
Kanye West (ex., identifying himself as a Nazi) is emblematic of the right-wing extremism that is, quite unfortunately, taking hold in the US with Trump and his MAGA cult. I feel deeply for America - and for the world - as we have a long, long way to go with Trump 2.0 having been installed just this past January.
What is wrong with the man? Doesn't he know the he is the wrong colour to be a Nazi? Hitler would never approve of a black man in his regime.
