A US rapper has knocked Adele off the top of the charts with his anti-Biden song which has been banned by YouTube for spreading 'harmful false information' about Covid.

Bryson Gray's song Let's Go Brandon skyrocketed to Number One of the iTunes charts, featuring provocative lyrics such as 'Joe is a crook', 'they buildin' back better, but only the Taliban', and 'pandemic ain't real, they planned it'.

The phrase Let's Go Brandon was sparked after reporter Kelli Stavast mistook chants of 'f*** Joe Biden' at a NASCAR rally in September for the more benign phrase, and it has since become a running joke among Biden critics, used as shorthand to mock the president. 

Its popularity as an internet meme and now as a Number One song show the level of anti-Biden sentiment growing in the US. 

Gray's song features a number of anti-vaxx messages and warnings about vaccine mandates, prompting YouTube and Instagram to remove it from their platforms.

The Christian Conservative rapper, 30, from California tweeted in response: 'YouTube has banned "Let's Go Brandon" song from YouTube due to "medical information." What medical misinformation is in the song? Whoa.'

Ironically, the song's lyrics feature the line: 'If you ask questions 'bout the Vax, then they gonna ban us.'

Despite the YouTube and Instagram censorship, the song has remained popular with fans, and it remains at the top of the iTunes charts, ahead of Adele's comeback single Easy On Me.

Gray told the New York Post: 'If you read guidelines for social media sites now, the guidelines themselves are against conservatism. You literally can't have a conservative opinion.

'Like I can't say there are only two genders, or I can't call somebody by what they are. I have to be delusional with them.

'Cancel culture doesn't work anymore. It only works on people who are scared … all it does is help me out. Thanks, YouTube!'
