Rapper Forgiato Blow says his song “Boycott Target” is being shadowbanned and censored, but those alleged efforts weren’t enough to keep it from reaching number one on the Apple iTunes charts ahead of artists like Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Taylor Swift.
The song is a collaboration between Blow and fellow rappers Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli, and Stoney Dudebro, per The New York Post. It was released on May 25 as a way to highlight the current controversy over Target’s Pride Collection this year, which included “tuck friendly” swimwear, rainbow-colored baby clothing, and items by a designer who also created “Satan Respects Pronouns” merchandise for his Etsy store.
“Attention all shoppers, there’s a clean up on every aisle. Target is targeting your kids,” the lyrics begin.
“If you ain’t mad yet/then you better be pissed,” the song continues at another point. “Let’s protest until they close and they ain’t gonna be missed/ Why they got pride shirts in the kids clothing section/ Why they trying to mess with the kids and give misconception/ They manipulating minds and making evil impressions.”
The video has more than 4.4 million views on Blow’s Twitter account. It’s currently ranked number one on Apple charts across all genres.

The artist spoke with Fox News Digital and said Big Tech is censoring him. “It’s shadow-banned all over the world right now,” Blow said of the single.
“You can’t even search the song on iTunes without going to the music video and clicking the external link. So they’re trying their hardest to keep it off the radar,” he said.
Blow went on to say how important it was to speak up about radical “LGBTQ” activism, especially when it comes to minors. “We’re living in a culture right now where people need to speak out. We need to stand up for the children,” the rapper said during an interview with “Fox & Friends First.”

“There’s no place for LGBTQ for fourth- and fifth-graders,” he said.
Target has been affected by these boycott efforts. The retailer reportedly lost $10 billion in market capitalization in ten days, as The Daily Wire previously reported. Execs opted to remove certain Pride Collection items from stores, and in some locations, Pride displays were moved to the back of the store.
