Miami Beach mayor Steven Meiner said he was "deeply disturbed and disgusted" after a video of influencers chanting Nazi slogans in a nightclub went viral online.
In the video, influencers Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, Nick Fuentes, Clavicular, Sneako, Myron Gaines and Justin Waller can be seen blasting Kanye West’s song Heil Hitler during a bottle parade at the nightclub Vendome.
The nightclub posted a formal apology on Sunday for the “deeply offensive and unacceptable” video, adding that "Vendôme and our hospitality group do not condone antisemitism, hate speech, or prejudice of any kind."
It also said it is conducting an internal review to understand the circumstances surrounding how the requested song came to be played during a bottle parade, adding that it will take immediate action to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Meiner, whose grandparents' family were killed during the Holocaust, said the video glorified the Holocaust and Hitler, and must be universally condemned.
Clavicular, however, stood by the song choice, writing, "It's just a song, no problem with rap songs about drugs and murder though." The Tate brothers, Fuentes and Sneako all also stood by their choice.
Kanye West's song glorifies Adolf Hitler
Rapper Kanye West released the controversial song in May 2025. The music video for Heil Hitler depicts a group of black men in formation singing 'Ni**a Heil Hitler' multiple times. The men are wearing animal skins and heads.
West also sings, "I became a Nazi, I'm the villain."
At the end of the song, West includes an audio clip of Adolf Hitler giving a speech. The Jerusalem Post identified the clip as taken from Hitler's 1935 speech at the Krupp Factory in Germany. Here, he can be heard saying, "[If] you think my work is right, whether you think I have been diligent, that I have worked, that I have dedicated myself to you over the years, that I have used my time decently in the service of my people. Cast your vote now. If "YES," then stand up for me, just as I stood up for you!"
The song is banned from all major digital streaming platforms and is also banned in Germany due to Germany's anti-Holocaust revisionism laws.
