Australia Cancels Kanye West’s Visa Over ‘Heil Hitler’ Song

Published

on

Australia has revoked the visa of US rapper Kanye West following the release of his song that praises Adolf Hitler, the government confirmed on Wednesday.

The 48-year-old artist, now legally known as Ye, released “Heil Hitler” on May 8, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II.

West, who is married to Australian Bianca Censori, has visited the country multiple times due to family ties. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated that the visa cancellation came after the song’s release.

“He’s made a lot of offensive comments. But my officials looked at it again once he released the ‘Heil Hitler’ song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia,” Burke said.

According to Burke, the cancelled visa was not intended for concerts.

“It was a lower level, and the officials still looked at the law and said: You’re going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism — we don’t need that in Australia,” he told ABC.

When asked about barring a high-profile figure like West, the minister responded, “I think what’s not sustainable is to import hatred.” He emphasized that each visa request is reviewed independently.

Burke added that while Australians enjoy free speech, “we have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry.”

West’s “Heil Hitler” stirred controversy in Slovakia last week after it was revealed he was scheduled to perform there in July.

Over 3,000 people signed a petition opposing the concert in Bratislava.

Describing the rapper as someone who “repeatedly and openly adheres to symbols and ideology connected with the darkest period of modern global history,” two organizations behind the petition denounced the planned performance.

“Kanye West’s concert in our city and our country is an insult to historic memory, a glorification of wartime violence and debasement of all victims of the Nazi regime,” the petition stated.

In the “Heil Hitler” video, dozens of Black men dressed in animal skins and masks stand in formation, chanting the song’s title while West raps about being misunderstood and his legal battles with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The song concludes with a segment from a speech by Hitler.West has also shown public support for fellow rapper and mogul Sean Combs, who is on trial in New York for alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. The jury is currently deliberating.

The report added that the agency was also “considering a N50m bounty on the singer” after the “duration of the wanted status.” “We are collaborating with the Nigeria Immigration Service, the Police, the DSS, and even the Interpol. We have put all of them on procedural notice so that wherever they see him, they can take action. The reason we did this is because we have given him enough opportunity,” NAPTIP’s Chief Press Officer, Vincent Adekoye told The Punch.
