Ye Drops a Adolf Hitler Quote From 1935, Minutes Before Heil Hitler Upload

Published 05/07/2025, 9:47 PM EDT

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has already sparked widespread controversy with his upcoming album, primarily due to a track provocatively titled 'Heil Hitler'. The mere announcement of the song’s name has sparked intense backlash, debates across social media platforms, and concern from various advocacy groups. While some argue it is another calculated publicity move, others view it as deeply irresponsible. Regardless of intention, the song title alone has created a storm of criticism and confusion. However, it seems Ye was not quite finished fanning the flames.

Just before the alleged release, Ye shared a quote attributed to Adolf Hitler from 1935, intensifying public outrage.

Ye continued to escalate tensions surrounding his new project by tweeting a historically loaded statement just hours before the track’s release. Just a few hours before the song's supposed upload, Ye tweeted a passage strikingly similar to a 1935 speech delivered by Adolf Hitler at the Krupp factory in Essen. In that speech, Hitler appealed to German workers to vote in his favor, emphasizing loyalty, national duty, and personal sacrifice. 

Some observers speculate that Ye’s use of the quote may have been intended as a commentary on blind loyalty, public perception, or his own role as a polarizing figure, though without context, interpretations have varied widely. The track had already stirred trouble with its inflammatory title, but things got messier after a snippet surfaced, where Ye appeared to throw shade at Drake. Criticizing betrayal and false allegiances, Ye seems to have packed his song with enough controversy to keep everyone talking.

With all the drama surrounding the track, many are curious about where and how Ye plans to release it.

Where will the song be released?

As the controversy surrounding Ye's new track continues to unfold, many are left wondering whether it will even be allowed on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Some speculate that Ye may find a way to release the track without using his official name, given the extreme backlash and possible restrictions. This wouldn't be the first time Ye has pushed boundaries; his recent album 'Donda 2' was released exclusively on his own platform, a move that added to his reputation as an artist unafraid to take risks.

Ye’s unpredictable nature is hardly a surprise at this point, he recently walked off an interview with Piers Morgan right in his face, leaving many wondering what truly drove him to the exit. Whether Ye will manage to release 'Heil Hitler' on major platforms remains unclear, but his history of unpredictable moves suggests that he will not let any obstacle stand in his way.
