Miami Beach officials are demanding accountability after disturbing videos surfaced showing a group of white nationalist influencers chanting Nazi slogans and appearing to glorify Adolf Hitler inside a South Beach nightclub.

The footage, which spread rapidly across social media over the weekend, appears to show the group partying inside Vendôme nightclub while the antisemitic song Heil Hitler, by Kanye West, played in the background during a bottle parade.

Social media footage shows influencers including brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, Nick Fuentes, Sneako, Myron Gaines, Justin Waller, and Clavicular arriving at the club while blasting the song, later appearing to sing along during bottle service.

Additional clips also show the same men chanting lyrics and performing a Nazi salute inside a vehicle en route to the club.

City leaders reacted with fury, calling the incident 'disgusting,' 'horrifying,' and a clear violation of Miami Beach's values - particularly in a city with one of the largest Jewish communities in the country.

'These are sick, demented people,' Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner said while demanding a full investigation into how the influencers gained access to the club and why the song was even played at all.
'I am deeply disturbed and disgusted by these videos of twisted individuals glorifying Hitler and the murder of millions,' Meiner, who is Jewish, continued.
'What I also found disturbing is I spoke to a lot of other club operators today, and they told me they know these influencers try to get into clubs,' Meiner said.

The influencers were singing and dancing to 'Heil Hitler' by Kanye West in footage widely shared on social media including making Nazi salutes.

Miami Beach nightclub Vendôme has apologized for a 'deeply offensive and unacceptable' video circulating online, which appears to show a group of popular and controversial influencers partying to Kanye West's anti-Semitic song, 'Heil Hitler.'

Social media footage shows influencers including brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, Nick Fuentes, Sneako, Myron Gaines, Justin Waller, and Clavicular arriving at the club and blasting the offensive song.

'They ban them. They do not allow them in their club. How did they get in here and seemingly be welcomed into the club?'

The song itself has also drawn widespread condemnation. 'Heil Hitler' has been banned in Germany, and major music platforms in the United States have taken steps to restrict or remove it due to its content.

Vendôme issued a statement Sunday night acknowledging the videos and apologizing for the incident.

'We are aware of a video circulating online from one of our venues that includes content and imagery that are deeply offensive and unacceptable,' the nightclub said.
'We want to be unequivocally clear: Vendôme and our hospitality group do not condone antisemitism, hate speech, or prejudice of any kind.'

The club said it is conducting an internal review to determine how the song came to be played during a bottle parade and promised immediate action.

'Our ownership and leadership reflect a diverse group of partners, backgrounds, and faiths including members of the Jewish community, and we are deeply disturbed by the harm caused by this incident and the circulation of this footage,' the statement continued.

By Monday afternoon, the business announced concrete disciplinary steps.

The influencers were seen listening to 'Heil Hitler' onboard a minibus ride to the club with some making Nazi salutes.

Some frames of the footage appeared to show the influencers raising their hands as they went on to perform Nazi salutes.

Andrew Tate was beaming as the song played over the nightclub's loudspeakers.

Vendôme said it had fired three employees involved in the incident, implemented updated security procedures, and permanently banned the influencers seen in the videos from the venue.

The backlash quickly spread beyond Miami Beach. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava released a statement condemning the incident.

'Hate has no home in Miami-Dade County,' she wrote. 'Reports of Nazi slogans at a Miami Beach club are deeply disturbing and unacceptable. We stand against antisemitism and all hate, and expect swift accountability to keep our community safe and respectful for all.'

Mayor Meiner said the incident appeared deliberate rather than accidental.

'It seems to be somewhat orchestrated,' he said. 'They're there. The DJ plays this song that's really banned in most places.'
'There's nothing funny about the murder of six million Jews,' Meiner added. 'Hitler tried to exterminate the entire Jewish nation.'

Andrew Tate has now been banned from the nightclub along with his influencer friends.

Clavicular, left, and Sneako, right, have also been blacklisted by the Miami Beach nightclub.

As the videos continue to circulate, city leaders said their message to the influencers involved is unequivocal.

'You're disgusting human beings, and I don't want to see you in Miami Beach,' Miami Beach Commissioner Joe Magazine said.
'You're not welcome,' fellow Commissioner David Suarez agreed.
'It's disgusting, it's shameful, and you're not welcome in Miami Beach,' added Mayor Meiner.
