Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has said his department canceled West's visa following the song's release in May.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will no longer be able to enter Australia after releasing a song that praises Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Tony Burke, Australia's home affairs minister, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. on Wednesday that the country had canceled his visa in early May, around the time "Heil Hitler" was released.

"We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry," Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said
