Kanye West is no stranger to controversy, but many believe he really crossed the line with his pro-Nazi tweets. Often praising Hitler on social media platform ‘X,’ Kanye has taken things up a notch in his absurdity. The rapper just released a music video for what seems to be his most controversial song yet— it’s called ‘Heil Hitler.’
The music video has the grand elements one would imagine in a Kanye video, in some ways reminiscent of his older song ‘POWER.’ Except this time, it’s a group of men singing along to the chorus, which echoes an anthemic but distasteful ‘Heil Hitler.’ The phrase has been considered tabboo for a reason, and Kanye will stop at nothing to break all rules and conventions for the sake of breaking them.
The most controversial song ever is out

Kanye also took a jab at Drake with homophobic remarks. But that’s not all — he seems to be justifying his vengeful transformation as Hitler, as ‘the villain,’ because he feels the grief of not having custody of his children.
Alongside the video release, Kanye also posted a SoundCloud link to the song, with the artwork that is inspired by Nazi symbology and vaguely reads ‘Ye’ — as some listeners theorised on X. It now seems to be removed/ deleted from both SoundCloud and X.
