Ariel Pink claims to be the most banned artist

Musician Ariel Pink has said he is the most banned artist in the world and has repeated his support for Donald Trump in a recent podcast interview.

Speaking on the ULTRAFREE podcast hosted by Drea de Matteo, Pink stated that the music industry has shut him down. He said they do not sell his music at Amoeba Records and described himself as the least distributed artist.

Pink also said his fanbase has atrophied over the past six years. He claimed no one in the industry has come to his defense because they fear cancellation.

He reiterated his belief in Trump and said he does not hate the United States. Pink previously attended a Trump rally in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, and was dropped by his label Mexican Summer afterward.

On his X account in early June 2026, Pink posted that the internet is a dark alley where leftists repeatedly mug people.
