"Nah Nah Nah" is a song by American rapper Kanye West. It was released for digital download and streaming through GOOD Music and Def Jam on October 16, 2020. The song served as the "theme song" for West's presidential campaign launched in July of that year.
"Nah Nah Nah" was written and produced by West and American record producer Dem Jointz. A remix, featuring fellow rappers DaBaby and 2 Chainz, was released on November 13, 2020. The song was West's second and last single as a lead artist in 2020, following "Wash Us in the Blood" (featuring Travis Scott).
On August 9, 2021, both versions of the song were removed from all streaming services, which was presumed to be due to controversy over DaBaby's homophobic statements.[1][2]
