   Cover your ears, President Biden!   
      
   A controversial new rap song mocking the leader of the free world has   
   rocketed to the top of the iTunes charts, booting Adele from the No. 1   
   spot — even after getting banned on YouTube and Instagram for spreading   
   “harmful false information.”   
      
   “Let’s Go Brandon,” released last week by avowed President Donald Trump   
   supporter Bryson Gray, has been sitting at No. 1 since Sunday, when it   
   refused to fulfill the lyrical request of Adele’s much-hyped comeback   
   single “Easy On Me.” (The Brit pop diva sits at No. 3 behind a random   
   redux of Gray’s hit song by YouTube rapper Loza Alexander.)   
      
   The 30-year-old rapper believes his single shot to No. 1 because of the   
   YouTube ban.   
      
   “If you read guidelines for social media sites now, the guidelines   
   themselves are against conservatism. You literally can’t have a   
   conservative opinion,” Gray told The Post on Wednesday. “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.”   
      
   A defiant Gray continued: “Cancel culture doesn’t work anymore. It only   
   works on people who are scared … all it does is help me out. Thanks,   
   YouTube!”   
      
   The North Carolina-born musician composed his song earlier this month in   
   response to NBC’s coverage of a NASCAR race in Alabama on Oct. 2. During   
   that event, crowds were heard chanting, “F–k Joe Biden,” but an NBC anchor   
   insisted they were actually chanting, “Let’s go, Brandon,” in reference to   
   a win by race car driver Brandon Brown.   
      
   The incident began trending on Twitter, with conservatives claiming NBC   
   was involved in a cover-up by refusing to allow any criticism of the   
   president on their network.   
      
   Gray soon got to work on his rap, which features the lyrics: “Media lyin’,   
   ignore all the cryin’/ They buildin’ back better, but only the Taliban/   
   Pilots on strike, but to Joe, it’s irrelevant/ Open the border, lose all   
   the order.”   
      
   Other lines include: “Divide us up so they know that we never win/ But we   
   united, we here in the stadiums/ Everyone chantin’ it, CNN slanderin’/   
   Biden collapsin’ and Democrats stealin’ it.”   
      
   The song also calls into question the president’s mental state with the   
   lyrics: “The only play that Joe can execute is a fumble/ Think we all know   
   he’s out to lunch, that dude went campin.’ “   
      
   The rap features musicians Tyson James and Chandler Crump on backing   
   vocals.   
      
   Meanwhile, the music video for “Let’s Go Brandon” features the rapper clad   
   in a red Make America Great Again bucket hat and a T-shirt emblazoned with   
   the slogan “Impeach Biden.” In several scenes, he also clutches an   
   automatic weapon.   
      
   Gray’s fans were left outraged earlier this week when the clip was banned   
   on YouTube and Instagram.   
      
   Instagram says the song violates community guidelines for sharing “harmful   
   false information” about the current COVID-19 pandemic, as it features the   
   lines “Pandemic ain’t real, they just planned it” and “Biden said the jab   
   stop the spread, it was lies.”   
      
   The song is still available on the YouTube Music offshoot, but fans have   
   flooded iTunes, purchasing the song and sending it soaring to the top of   
   the charts. Over the weekend, the song outsold Adele’s huge new track, her   
   first new music in six years.   
      
   Speaking about his YouTube ban, Gray told The Post: “If you’re going to   
   ban people, you’ve got to remain consistent. There’s rap songs out there   
   about killing people. On YouTube you can talk about murder, you can talk   
   about sex, you can talk about whatever you want, but I can’t simply   
   question the narrative or I’ll get banned. When did they start banning   
   art?”   
      
   Gray appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio show Tuesday to discuss his incendiary   
   new track, similarly saying people on the left were allowed to say   
   whatever they wanted without fear of being censored.   
      
   “They can literally do whatever they want,” said Gray. “Meanwhile, we   
   can’t even question, make a joke, then we’re banned on platforms if we do   
   that.”   
      
   Gray took to Twitter to taunt YouTube after his high-profile media   
   appearance, writing: “They really let a far right rap artist get on Glenn   
   beck. What is going on? This is CRAZY! Thanks YouTube! Thanks for banning   
   my video from your commie platform!”   
      
   Gray was also profiled in the New Yorker magazine back in 2019, claiming   
   he used to support Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders — before realizing he   
   was a fan of Trump.   
      
   Meanwhile, his new track isn’t the only anti-Biden song to shoot up the   
   charts.   
      
   Another track, also titled “Lets Go Brandon,” is now sitting at No. 2 on   
   iTunes. The song was composed by rapper Loza Alexander in the aftermath of   
   the NBC-NASCAR scandal.   
      
   “Let’s go Brandon/ You know what they really sayin’ though,” the chorus of   
   that song states.   
      
   Gray believes the fact that his song shot up the charts alongside   
   Alexander’s track is proof that the conservative culture is in ascendance.   
      
   “I feel like this is what’s coming,” he told The Post. “I hope record   
   labels are scared. I don’t need a record label. We’re coming and the   
   culture will change, and I hope they [ the left] are scared.”   
      
   Alexander’s song was still available on YouTube at the time of   
   publication.
