(Jewish Group) Platforms urged to remove French rapper's songs on Hitler, Jews and money

YouTube, Google, Apple Music and Spotify urged to remove French rapper’s songs on Hitler, Jews and money

France’s oldest anti-racism watchdog group called on internet giants to remove from their platforms newly released hit rap songs that critics say are anti-Semitic.

The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism, or LICRA, urged YouTube, Google, Apple Music and Spotify to remove works by Issa Lorenzo Diakhaté. The 28-year-old rapper, also known as Freeze Corleone, engages in “anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories, glorification of Hitler and the Third Reich and the terrorist Mullah Omar,” a former leader of the Taliban, LICRA wrote last week on Twitter.

Corleone sings in his 10th album, “The Phantom Threat,” about wanting his children to “live like Jewish investors” and of being “determined like Adolf.”

He also sings “F*** a Rothchild, f*** a Rockefeller, I come determined like Adolf in the ’30s” and “couldn’t care less about the Shoah.”
