Kanye West’s son, Saint, has lost access to his popular YouTube channel after sharing videos criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris.

Saint, whom West shares with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, had amassed a significant following on the platform, but the account was reportedly taken down following the release of two controversial videos aimed at Harris, who is currently both the Vice President and a candidate for President in the upcoming election.

The first video posted on Saint’s channel featured a static photo of Kamala Harris with animated TV characters added over her image, repeatedly labeling her with terms like ‘dumb,’ ‘stupid,’ ‘crazy,’ and ‘dangerous.’

In the second video, a cartoon character steps into a mess, lifting their shoe to reveal Harris’s photo attached to the sole. These postings quickly garnered attention, with some users reacting strongly to the negative portrayal of the Vice President.

Although it remains unclear who directly requested the channel’s removal, a popular X account named ‘yzyupdates’ suggested Kim Kardashian was responsible for pulling the plug on her son’s account. The account claimed that Kardashian had taken action after becoming aware of Saint’s postings and the potential backlash they could spark.

Despite this setback on YouTube, Saint West is expected to remain visible in the public eye. He is currently featured on the cover of his father, Kanye West’s upcoming album, ‘Bully.’

The album cover showcases a striking black-and-white portrait of Saint stylized to echoe Kanye’s bold image. It also includes a unique titanium grill modeled after the rapper’s.
