ISLAMABAD: A Miami Beach nightclub is facing criticism after videos circulated online showing a song praising Adolf Hitler being played during a night out attended by several right-wing internet personalities.
Footage shared on social media over the weekend appears to show the banned song “Heil Hitler” by rapper Ye (Kanye West) being played inside Vendme, a high-end nightclub in South Beach. In multiple clips, influencers Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, Clavicular, and Sneako are seen singing along to the track, which contains Nazi references.
The videos sparked widespread condemnation from civil rights groups and religious leaders, who described the incident as deeply offensive and harmful.
The Anti-Defamation League condemned the nightclub for playing the song after it was requested by the group.
In a post on X, the organization said: “A group of influencers who bolster antisemitism with their hateful behavior walk into a club in Miami and request Ye’s ‘Heil Hitler’ song. No, this isn’t the setup of a joke. It actually happened. And guess what? The nightclub shamefully obliged.”
The ADL questioned why a venue would play a song that glorifies Adolf Hitler, noting that the track has been banned by multiple streaming platforms. The organization highlighted the impact such actions could have on Jewish patrons and others targeted by Nazi ideology.
“Imagine being Jewish, out for a fun night, and now you’re surrounded by people performing Nazi salutes to a song that glorifies the individual responsible for murdering 6 million other Jews,” the post said.
“This is not ok.”
