Sha GZ’s New Opp was removed by Youtube for violating community guidelines
In December 2022, he was profiled and interviewed by Rolling Stone about his new launch New Opp (takes a sample from Nuketown by Ski Mask the Slump God), after the song was flagged and removed by YouTube because it allegedly violated community guidelines.
The music video, which surged as high as #11 on YouTube’s global trending list before it was taken down, featured a minor (GZ himself, who was 17 years old back then) smoking an unknown but controlled substance in the first 10 seconds.
Sha GZ told Rolling Stone that he initially thought it was removed for its lyrics and may have been flagged by “someone from a label.” However, he soon realized that it was YouTube that took down his music video as he received an email from the platform explaining why his content was erased.
GZ tried to re-upload the video, which was again erased from the platform, citing a violation of Child Safety policies. However, it still earned over 100,000 views in less than two days.
Since that controversy, GZ has been a popular face in the New York drill rap scene, acquiring more than 199,000 followers on Instagram (account sha_gz has been active since July 2022) and over a million listeners on Spotify. Sha GZ’s latest music video for the song Better Off Dead was released in May 2023 and has been on the Billboard 200 charts.
