The Australian government has canceled Ye’s visa following the release of his controversial single “Heil Hitler,” which officials say promotes Nazism and violates the country’s immigration standards. The decision, announced Wednesday by Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, was made under provisions of the Migration Act that allow visas to be denied or canceled on character grounds.

Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, has traveled frequently to Australia in recent years. His wife, Bianca Censori, is from Melbourne, and her family still resides there. But Burke said the release of “Heil Hitler” in May prompted a renewed review of Ye’s visa eligibility.

“He’s made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the ‘Heil Hitler’ song,” Burke told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “And he no longer has a valid visa in Australia.”

The track has drawn international condemnation for what critics call an antisemitic tribute to Adolf Hitler. Burke said the decision was based on Australia’s Migration Act, which imposes strict character requirements on foreign nationals. “We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry,” he added.

Under the Migration Act, visas can be denied or canceled if the applicant is found to pose a risk to the community or fails to meet character standards. The criteria include past conduct, association with criminal or extremist groups, and the likelihood of engaging in harmful behavior while in the country.

The artist has faced criticism over antisemitic remarks and the release of “Heil Hitler,” leading to the cancellation of his South Korean tour earlier this year, the loss of several business partnerships, and a decline in public support.

Ye’s representatives have not publicly commented on the visa revocation.
