Sun May 11 06:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Kanye West’s New Song “Heil Hitler” Sparks Global Outrage
**NEW YORK, May 9** – Controversial rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, has ignited a firestorm of criticism with the release of his new song, “Heil Hitler,” accompanied by a disturbing music video. The song features a group of Black men in animal skins chanting “Ni**a Heil Hitler” while West himself proclaims, “I became a Nazi, I’m the villain.” The video concludes with an audio clip from a 1935 Adolf Hitler speech.
The song’s release on VE Day, commemorating the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, has added further outrage. The American Jewish Committee (AJC) CEO Ted Deutch denounced the song as “blatant antisemitism,” stating that Ye is “profiting off of Jew-hatred.” Deutch called on the music industry to condemn the release.
The controversial track also contains lyrics referencing West’s children and expressing anger, hinting at personal struggles alongside his inflammatory political statements. The release follows a recent tweet where West declared his love for Hitler, adding to a long history of antisemitic remarks and actions, including the sale of a swastika-emblazoned T-shirt and previous accusations of Jewish control over various institutions. The incident has raised serious concerns about the normalization of hate speech and the role of the music industry in addressing such content. The global reaction to “Heil Hitler” continues to unfold, with calls for widespread condemnation and action against the artist.
