Before being banned by Instagram, the latest song from Ye was teased during an interview with Gavin McInnes, and then released through Alex Jones’ InfoWars.
Featuring a sample from Donny Hathaway’s 1973 hit, “Someday We’ll All Be Free,” as the hook, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, muses on the breakdown of his most recent relationship following his controversial media appearances and other backlash he’s faced as a result.
Some of the lyrics touching on the situation include, “waking up to ‘I can’t do this any more’ texts, and the Bible said I can’t have any more sex ’til marriage,” and “I know cause the headlines why she wanna leave.”
One of the first people to hear the song before its release was Vice News and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, a former Fox News pundit who interviewed Ye on his Censored.tv podcast network earlier this month.
“It’s cool to be the first person to hear this song, even though I hate rap,” McInnes told Valiant News, appearing to reference Ye’s misunderstanding regarding his music tastes.

“After he ‘spit the bars’ (is that what you say?) he commented that he was lucky she (ex-fiancée) backed out now – before they were married and before kids.” McInnes told Ye “he dodged a bullet” but told Valiant News that he did so “while keeping it to myself that he was already living that worst case scenario with Kim.”
Further lyrics from Ye heard on the record were “tweeted Death Con, now we past three,” referencing a previous tweet from Ye saying that he was going to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.” The track ends with a sample from his most viewed interview with Alex Jones.
The new track was uploaded to the Banned.Video platform last week, two hours before he posted the song to his personal Instagram account. The track received over 1 million streams on the Big Tech platform, and just over 630,000 on the InfoWars streaming site.
Within a day of the latest song being uploaded to Instagram, the Meta-owned platform had banned it from their site, with Ye confidant Nick Fuentes revealing on Telegram that the artist had also had his account temporarily blocked.
