Influencers, banned Kanye song, and a city that won’t tolerate hate make this the wildest nightclub drama of 2026
If you thought nightclub controversies were limited to sticky floors and over-priced drinks, Miami’s nightlife just redefined shocking. A South Beach hotspot Vendôme is now the subject of an official Miami Beach investigation after videos showed a group of controversial internet figures partying while a banned Kanye West track played and shocking gestures filled the dance floor.
Late one night over the weekend, footage went viral of influencers including Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Sneako, Myron Gaines and Clavicular stepping into Vendôme like it was any other VIP party. But this was not another bottle service flex. The video showed them singing along to Kanye West’s “Heil Hitler”, a song widely condemned for glorifying Adolf Hitler and already banned on major streaming platforms. Some arms were raised in Nazi salutes, and the vibe was, at best, deeply upsetting for millions of viewers online.
This is not a small blip. Miami Beach officials are publicly outraged. Mayor Steven Meiner said the city will not tolerate extremist behavior or hate speech in its nightlife scene. Vendôme responded quickly to the outrage with a statement saying it does not condone antisemitism or hate speech and has launched an internal probe into how the song ended up on the playlist.
Here is where it gets messy. The club reportedly fired three employees believed to be involved and said the influencers are banned from returning, yet critics online are not convinced this is enough. Some viral clips even appear to show a club owner near the group, prompting questions about whether the apology is genuine or damage control.
Public sentiment is explosive. Miami, home to a large and diverse community, is watching closely as this probe unfolds. Civic leaders and nightlife patrons alike are demanding answers and stronger safeguards against hate being normalized in spaces meant for fun.
