YouTube told rapper Bryson Gray they are passing the complaint along for 're-review' after banning his song 'Lets Go Brandon' claiming 'medical misinformation'.
Rapper Bryson Gray announced on Twitter Thursday that his music video poking fun at President Joe Biden was removed from YouTube due to "medical misinformation."
"YouTube has banned ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ song from YouTube due to ‘medical information,’ Gray posted on Twitter. "What medical misinformation is in the song? Whoa."
Gray said that initially the lyric version of the video was banned but then the actual music video was taken down.
"Update: The music video was just banned," Gray tweeted. "@YouTube this is crazy."
YouTube’s tech support responded to a tweet from Gray and said they are looking into the matter.
"Jumping in – we're passing this along to the right team for a re-review," YouTube said on Twitter. "We'll share updates once we hear back from them. Appreciate your patience in the meantime."
YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gray said that he has not heard anything from YouTube about the re-review and his song is still banned.
"Why is the most censored rapper in the country someone that doesn’t even curse in songs?" Gray said. "Why can you rap about murder, sex, and drugs but when I rap about questioning the government I get banned? Is this still America?"
The song takes multiple shots at Biden regarding his chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, cognitive ability, and handling of the coronavirus.
