"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 was both produced and written by West and American record producer Dem Jointz. The remix, featuring fellow American rappers DaBaby and 2 Chainz, was released on November 13, 2020. The song is West's second single as a lead artist in 2020, following "Wash Us in the Blood", featuring American rapper and singer Travis Scott.
On August 7, 2021, both versions of the song were suddenly removed on all streaming services, which has been speculated to be due to criticism against DaBaby regarding his comments about the LGBTQ+ community and HIV/AIDS.[1]
