Just a few weeks after topping the iTunes charts with his viral song “Let’s Go Brandon,” rapper Bryson Gray is releasing a new song aimed at one Big Tech giant: YouTube.

The song, called “Thanks, YouTube” came after YouTube banned his viral song, which ultimately helped it rise to the top.

**“**A bunch of patriots re-uploaded it and risked their channels, but YouTube finds them,” Gray said on *[The Tennessee Star Report](https://tennesseestar.com/2021/11/12/rapper-bryson-gray-releases-new-song-thanks-youtube-after-big-tech-giants-ban-helped-his-lets-go-brandon-become-1-hit-song-on-itunes/)* [with Michael Patrick Leahy](https://tennesseestar.com/2021/11/12/rapper-bryson-gray-releases-new-song-thanks-youtube-after-big-tech-giants-ban-helped-his-lets-go-brandon-become-1-hit-song-on-itunes/).

**“**Do they realize that if they banned your song, it’s going to help you go viral?” Leahy asked.

**“**I don’t think they realize that which is why the song I’m releasing today is called ‘[Thanks, YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60LCuL9A4_o&authuser=0).’”

“I think a lot of people, especially conservatives, I find when we get canceled and things like that, we tend to sort of back away and shy away,” Gray said. “Me? I’m like, do it again, please.”
