Australia has cancelled the entry visa of U.S. rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after he released a song titled “Heil Hitler” that officials say promotes Nazism. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke disclosed the decision on Wednesday, confirming that the artist no longer holds any valid permission to enter the country. Burke told national broadcaster ABC that immigration authorities reviewed West’s “lower-level” visa soon after the track’s 8 May release and deemed it incompatible with Australian law. “If you’re going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don’t need that in Australia,” he said, adding, “We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry.” The minister did not specify the exact date the visa was revoked. The 48-year-old musician has visited Australia frequently because his wife, Melbourne-born architect Bianca Censori, has family there. The cancelled visa was not linked to any planned performances, according to Burke. The move intensifies the global backlash against West’s recent output. “Heil Hitler” was swiftly removed from major streaming platforms and has drawn condemnation from human-rights groups. The visa cancellation follows years of antisemitic comments by the artist, including past social-media posts praising Adolf Hitler.
