Amid his efforts to make amends, Ye is also reportedly removing all references to the Nazi salute 'Heil Hitler'-inspired song "HH".

Banned on streaming platforms including Spotify and Youtube, the track, replete with Nazi references and praise for Adolf Hitler, attracted worldwide outrage.

Ye's recent antisemitic tirades on X including his 2022 statements praising Hitler and denying the Holocaust also fuelled the backlash, though he retracted his statements. 

The comments resulted in major brands like Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga to cancel their brand partnerships with the rapper's Yeezy. 

Additonally, after the song's release, Ye's travel visa for Australia was revoked while his concerts across Europe faced petitions and cancellations. 

The rapper later tried to remove the song through copyright strikes and expressed remorse while attributing his behaviour to bipolar disorder. 

Currently he is scheduled perform in São Paulo, Brazil on November 29. Ahead of his concert ,however, the São Paulo State Public Prosecutor's Office has reportedly ordered that the rapper's arrest if he performs the controversial song 'Heil Hitler' or utters any pro-Nazi comments during the show. 

Earlier, Ye met Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto in New York City to apologise for his antisemitic remarks in person.
