In the song, featuring rappers Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli and Stoney Dudebro, Blow rhymes that the LGBTQ agenda has gone “too far.”

“Attention all shoppers, there’s a clean-up on every aisle,” he raps in the opening lines. “Target is targeting your kids.”

The music video for the track, which premiered last Friday on his “Mayor of Magaville” YouTube channel, has more than 439,000 views.

Blow has been tracking iTunes’ charts on Twitter, where the video has amassed more than 4.4 million views, and sharing that the protest anthem reached No. 1, sitting above songs by Taylor Swift and Luke Combs.

But he claims he is being “shadow-banned” all over the world, meaning a user’s content is blocked from part or all of a social media site.

“You can’t even search the song on iTunes without going to the music video and clicking the external link,” Blow said, while appearing on Fox & Friends First. “So they’re trying their hardest to keep it off the radar.”

He explained: “We’re living in a culture right now where people need to speak out. We need to stand up for the children.”

But Target wasn’t Blow’s only, er, target. The rapper mentions Bud Light and in the video; he is seen carrying cases of the beer through a Target store.

Among Blow’s other songs on iTunes is one titled Fock Bud Light.

In the “Boycott Target” video, Blow wanders the aisles, calling out the “disturbing” Pride-themed clothing.

“People say they’re not being groomed, and kids, this is grooming,” Blow said while holding up a children’s skirt with rainbow stripes.

“This agenda has gone too far,” he captioned another video post showing himself holding a T-shirt that reads “live laugh lesbian.”

Blow told Fox & Friends anchor Brian Kilmeade that his music is “shifting the culture.”

“We’re waking people up, letting them know that, ‘Hey, you don’t have just to follow the crowd. You can stand on your own and be a leader, not a follower.’”
