Kanye West blocked from entering Australia over Hitler song
American rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, has been blocked from entering Australia due to a controversial song glorifying Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Australia's home affairs minister cancelled West's visa after the release of the banned track "Heil Hitler" in May. This is not the first time West has faced criticism for his anti-Semitic comments, with previous backlash leading to a split with Adidas over his remarks. The song has been banned on major streaming platforms and West later released a revised version titled "Hallelujah" with references to Christianity.
