‘They Only Want Rappers To Succeed By Promoting Sex, Drugs And Murder’: ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Rapper Speaks On Big Tech Censoring His Song

According to YouTube, Bryson Gray is a purveyor of “medical misinformation.”

It’s a pretty strange accusation given his profession — rapper — isn’t one people generally turns to for therapeutic advice. It’s also odd because, with the exception of a single line, Gray’s hit song, “Let’s Go Brandon,” has little to do with Covid.

The title of the single, as nearly everyone knows by now, is a euphemism for “F*** Joe Biden,” an organic movement sparked when an NBC reporter wrongly claimed fans at a NASCAR event were actually cheering for a driver named Brandon. The moment perfectly captured the media’s dishonest covering for the Biden administration, inspiring a fed-up public to launch the viral slogan that, in turn, launched Gray’s hit.

How big a hit? “Let’s Go Brandon” has topped the iTunes chart for days running, beating out a new song from Grammy-winner, Adele.

But the tech giant was apparently afraid that seven words from a single lyric, “Pandemic ain’t real, they just planned it,” would persuade fans to do…what, exactly? YouTube hasn’t told Gray.

Numerous Snoop Dogg songs recommend marijuana for dubious medical purposes (in fact his hit “My Medicine” praises it for virtually all purposes, despite the fact any doctor will tell you advocating a constant state of intoxication isn’t good medical advice). Yet you can still find dozens of videos showcasing the song on YouTube.

So why, exactly, Gray wonders, has the platform suddenly decided it needs to police rappers who might drop a line related to medical issues?

‘It’s all about protecting Biden’

Ironically, Gray predicted his video would be removed in the song, rapping, “If you ask questions ’bout the vax, then they gonna ban us.” In an interview with The Daily Wire, he points out that actual, targeted threats of violence are pervasive in rap music, yet Big Tech has little problem with those videos.

“Gang bangers will talk about each other in these songs. And they brag about killing each other. These are real people, with real names. Sometimes they even include
