Kanye West’s highly controversial and unreleased album Cuck has reportedly leaked online in its entirety, allegedly by hackers seeking to retaliate against the rapper’s continued antisemitic rhetoric.

The album first surfaced on Discord before quickly spreading across YouTube and other platforms, though many uploads were swiftly removed due to copyright claims. The leak appears to be a deliberate act of protest. In a statement accompanying the leak, the perpetrators declared:

“F**k Nazis. 50-year-old loser promoting fascism and hate speech. All proceeds from this groupbuy were donated to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.”

West, never one to shy away from public controversy, responded to the leak via social media on May 19, writing:

“Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK. What I love about getting blocked on DSPs and having songs leaked and shows cancelled is… it proves everything I’m saying and why I’m saying.”

The Cuck project has already faced significant backlash prior to its leak. Its alleged cover art, which reportedly features imagery associated with the Ku Klux Klan, has sparked outrage and made traditional distribution nearly impossible.

The album’s lead single, Heil Hitler, was briefly released to streaming services but was taken down in under 24 hours due to its inflammatory content. On the track, West makes multiple controversial statements, including references to Nazism and complaints about custody of his children:

“With all this money and fame, I still can’t get my kids back / With all this money and fame I still can’t see my children.”
“I became a Nazi yet bch, I’m the villain,” followed by a repeated refrain of “Nga, Heil Hitler.”

Following the removal of Heil Hitler, West criticized streaming platforms for what he described as double standards. He pointed to songs like Randy Newman’s Rednecks and John Lennon’s Woman Is the N**r of the World as examples of content with similarly offensive language that remain available online.

“While Rednecks by Randy Newman remains streamable, they’re literally keeping the n****s down,” he posted on social media.

As of now, Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms have not publicly commented on the situation.
