Kanye West, the American rapper now known as Ye, has been officially barred from entering Australia after the release of a highly inflammatory song that glorifies Adolf Hitler.
According to BCC, Australia's Home Affairs Minister, Tony Burke, announced that the country has cancelled the artist's valid visa in the wake of significant public outrage over the song Heil Hitler, which was released in early May.
Since its debut, Wests song has faced widespread condemnation and has been banned on most music platforms, reflecting the global backlash against his provocative statements.
The polarising figure, who has been open in identifying with Nazi ideologies, has made anti-Semitic comments that have drawn ire not just from fans but from civil rights advocates worldwide.
Burke inadvertently disclosed the information during an interview on ABC's Afternoon Briefing programme.
