Bay Area rapper LaRussell goes offline after backlash over ‘heaven-sent’

By

LaRussell has deactivated his social media accounts amid mounting backlash over a new song in which he describes figures including Adolf Hitler, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump as “heaven-sent.”

The Vallejo rapper’s accounts on X and Instagram were unavailable as of Friday, March 20.

The controversy began after LaRussell posted a video Saturday, March 14, of himself performing the unreleased track in his backyard for a small crowd. The clip quickly spread online, racking up more than 6.5 million views and sparking outrage from listeners who called the lyrics “bizarre” and “ignorant.”
