Kanye West's 'Cuck' Could Be Banned In Russia For Promoting Nazism
Kanye West‘s upcoming album Cuck could be banned from being released in Russia for a number of reasons including accusations that it promotes Nazism.
According to Kurrco, a formal request has been made to the country’s media regulator to ban the forthcoming album from release in Russia.
Some of the reasons supporting the ban include the alleged promotion of Nazism (which is illegal in Russia), the alleged glorification of criminals of the Second World War such as Hitler, the promotion of drug use, inciting violence against others and non-traditional sexual preferences such as incest or homosexuality.
The Russian government are yet to comment on the report while West had also not addressed the claims.

West has found distribution difficult for his latest projects with “Heil Hitler” removed from streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
The song was uploaded to Soundcloud but since appears to have been removed while it is also being censored on X following accusations of hate speech.
West hit out at the removal on social media, writing: “Kanye West’s ‘Heil Hitler’ Removed From All Streaming Platforms.”
He also accused platforms of double standards, citing Randy Newman’s controversial song “Rednecks” which features frequent use of the N-word as an example.
West wrote: “While Rednecks by Randy Newman remains streamable They’re literally keeping the n-ggas down.”
Some fans also pointed to other songs such as John Lennon’s “Woman is the N-gger of the World” as another example of hypocrisy by the various streaming companies.
