“YouTube has banned ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ song from YouTube due to ‘medical information.’ What medical misinformation is in the song? Whoa,” Gray wrote on Thursday.

Gray clarified that it is the lyric video that was removed and predicted that the music video might also be removed soon.

“Let’s go Brandon” has become the biggest meme of 2021 and has spawned several hit tracks that have trended on Apple Music.

The phrase originated from an interview between an NBC reporter and NASCAR star Brandon Brown. During the interview, the crowd shouted “f**k Joe Biden.” But the reporter falsely claimed the crowd had said “Let’s go Brandon.”
