The Hooligans (also referred to as the Hooligan Choir) are a vocal group led by American rapper Kanye West. Prior to their formation, West had used the "Hooligans" name in reference to the Curva Nord Milan ultras, whom he previously collaborated with on his 2024 songs with Ty Dolla Sign: "Stars", "Carnival", "Time Moving Slow", and "Fried".
In March 2025, West created a casting call for a new Hooligans group in Los Angeles, California, coinciding with a similar call for new members of the Sunday Service Choir. This incarnation appeared on his controversial 2025 single "Heil Hitler", as well as its censored version, "Hallelujah". They have since performed the track at various locations, and are believed to be based in West's Los Angeles warehouse, which he has been using as "Yeezy HQ".
