# Australian Home Affairs minister, Tony Burke confirmed that US artist Kanye West had his Australian visa cancelled after releasing a song that promotes Nazism. The rapper’s track “Heil Hitler,” which praises Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, was released across social media and music streaming platforms in May. The ban follows a series of antisemitic posts West made on X, including one where he says “I love Hitler.” Burke said that although West’s earlier comments had not affected his visa status, officials reassessed the situation after the song’s release.
