Local News Hosts in San Diego Geek Out Over Bryson Gray’s ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Being #1 on iTunes, ‘Says a Lot’

After the “let’s go Brandon” meme took off, many took to the internet to find ways to expand upon the novelty. If you’re not aware by now, it’s a euphemism for “F__ Joe Biden” to make a long story short. We reported on this previously here as well.

Anyway, there are three different songs that have been floating to the top of the charts related to this ongoing joke. One of them was by Christian rapper Bryson Gray, who supports traditional marriage between one man and one woman.

Many Republicans are afraid to take that “controversial” stance now, even though Barack Obama used to have that opinion back in the early 2000s. Gray’s song was banned from YouTube but still made it to number one on iTunes. “Let’s Go Brandon (feat. Tyson James)” is making waves everywhere.

A local San Diego outlet reported on this and the reporters seemed to be tickled about the whole thing. The reporters seemed like they weren’t too mad about Gray’s song as you can see in the KUSI News clip below. “Heh”, the male reporter laughs after reporting on the situation, and the female reporter goes on to say, “it says a lot that it’s number one on iTunes though…”

Watch:

Gray recently tweeted out:

“Just in case I get banned from everything. Text BGRAY to (855) 909-1389 so I can send you music updates personally. They can’t ban that! I refuse to bow down to censorship.”

“Wow. This is a great article about the situation. Good journalism.”

The Western Journal notated in part:

Gray is no stranger to having his music banned. He said Twitch, Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp and YouTube had all banned some of his content in the past for various reasons.

“Every single time they ban me or something, something ends up happening,” he said. “So when Spotify and SoundCloud banned ‘Safe Space,’ the video ended up getting like … 600,000 views now on YouTube.”

“Let’s Go Brandon” has been no different. As of Oct. 24, Gray’s song had ascended to the number-one overall spot on the iTunes charts.

Local KUSI News also reported in part:

But, despite the enormous popularity, YouTube removed the song from its platform, claiming that it spread “medical misinformation.”

If you aren’t yet aware, the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” has become a common way to express displeasure with the current president. The phrase was made popular after a Nascar crowd was chanting “F*ck Joe Biden,” but a reporter said they were chanting for the race winner, Brandon Bilt.

Gray’s “Let’s Go Brandon” song reached the number one spot on the iTunes, even after being banned from YouTube.
