YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Gray told Fox News that he has not heard anything from YouTube about the re-review and his song is still banned.
"Why is the most censored rapper in the country someone that doesn’t even curse in songs?" Gray told Fox News. "Why can you rap about murder, sex, and drugs but when I rap about questioning the government I get banned? Is this still America?"
The song takes multiple shots at Biden regarding his chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, cognitive ability, and handling of the coronavirus.
