It has been banned in Germany due to laws prohibiting dissemination of Nazi symbols and drew outrage around the world. Many streaming services took steps to remove it from their platforms or otherwise restrict it."
"Earlier this month, a group of right-wing influencers, including Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate (who are facing criminal investigations in multiple countries, including being charged with rape and human trafficking), Nick Fuentes (an avowed white supremacist and Holocaust denier), Myron Gaines (posts antisemitic and misogynistic content), Sneako, Justin Waller, and Clavicular, posted video of themselves singing along to West's song in a party bus on the way to Vendome, a Miami Beach nightclub."
A DJ in Florida apologized after playing Kanye West's song containing repeated "Heil Hitler" lines, the n-word, and an excerpt from an Adolf Hitler speech.

Video shows influencers singing along on a party bus and inside a nightclub, with one individual performing a Nazi salute.
