Kanye West’s Controversial ‘Cuck’ Album Leaked Online by Hackers in Protest of Antisemitic Remarks

Kanye West’s highly controversial and previously unreleased album Cuck has been leaked in full online, reportedly by hackers who oppose the rapper’s antisemitic behavior. The album was initially uploaded to Discord before spreading quickly across YouTube and other platforms, where it was later taken down, likely due to copyright claims.

The individuals behind the leak released a bold statement explaining their motivations: “F*** Nazis. 50-year-old loser promoting fascism and hate speech. All proceeds from this groupbuy were donated to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.” Their message made it clear the leak was intended as a direct act of protest against West’s increasingly inflammatory public stance.

In response, Kanye West addressed the situation on social media, writing: “Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK. What I love about getting blocked on DSPs and having songs leaked and shows cancelled is… It proves everything I’m saying and why I’m saying.” His comments reflect a recurring theme in his recent public statements — that he is being targeted or silenced for speaking his truth.

The album itself had already caused controversy before the leak. Its cover art reportedly features members of the Ku Klux Klan, making it nearly impossible to distribute through traditional channels. West’s lead single, “Heil Hitler,” was briefly uploaded to streaming platforms but removed less than 24 hours later due to its offensive content.

The lyrics on the track include, “With all this money and fame, I still can’t get my kids back / With all this money and fame I still can’t see my children,” and more troubling lines such as, “I became a Nazi yet b****, I’m the villain,” followed by a repeated refrain of “N****, Heil Hitler.” The song’s disturbing language quickly prompted public outcry.

Following the removal, West criticized streaming platforms for what he believes is a double standard. He referenced Randy Newman’s Rednecks and John Lennon’s Woman Is the N**r of the World, questioning why such songs remain available while his own is pulled. “While Rednecks by Randy Newman remains streamable,” West wrote, “They’re literally keeping the n****s down.”

International backlash is growing as well, with reports indicating that Cuck could face an official ban in Russia for allegedly promoting Nazism. Legal and regulatory responses in other countries may follow as awareness of the album spreads.

Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms have not commented publicly on the leak or the removal of “Heil Hitler,” but discussions around the ethics of digital censorship and hate speech are intensifying.

The leak of Cuck represents more than just another controversy in Kanye West’s career — it reflects a broader cultural reckoning. With its shocking content and the hacker-led protest that brought it to light, the album has become a symbol of the tension between free expression, accountability, and the consequences of celebrity influence in the digital age.
