Kanye West’s latest project, Cuck, has leaked online and the group responsible is using it to make a powerful statement.
Hackers have released Kanye West’s controversial new album Cuck and announced that all profits from the leak will be donated to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in response to the rapper’s disturbing antisemitic remarks.
A Leak With A Message
The album Cuck first appeared on Discord and quickly spread across platforms like YouTube before being taken down due to copyright claims. The hackers behind the release explained that their goal was not to promote piracy, but to publicly condemn Kanye’s recent behavior. Instead of profiting from the leak, they committed to sending all proceeds to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum as a form of protest. A powerful message.
Disturbing Content
The album contains several deeply disturbing and disgusting tracks, including one titled “Heil Hitler,”. In the song, Kanye reflects on his fame, personal losses and ongoing custody battles, but his words are laced with provocative and offensive themes. Although the song was taken down, its content continues to circulate online.
Kanye’s Reaction And Consequences
Kanye responded to the situation on X, dismissing the leak as yet another attempt to silence him. His reaction suggests that he views the backlash as confirmation rather than condemnation.
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

Shortly after the leak, more consequences followed. Kanye’s concert in South Korea, which was scheduled for the end of May, got canceled. The organizers said the decision was made because of the growing backlash, especially around the Hitler–themed track. Coupang, one of the companies behind the event, also stopped selling Yeezy products. Fans who bought tickets will get full refunds, but the message is clear.
What makes this leak different is the meaning behind it. The hackers turned Kanye’s own work into a tool for resistance. By redirecting attention and money toward a cause that directly challenges him, they showed that even in music, there’s room for protest.
