“He Makes Alex Jones Uncomfortable”: Ex-UFC Star Reacts to ‘Crazy’ Kanye West’s Twitter Ban by Elon Musk Following Rapper’s Defense of Hitler

Lately, the American rapper Kanye West (now Ye) has been keeping himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Previously, the 45-year-old faced massive backlash for his anti-Semitic views.

Subsequently, many major brands, including Adidas, cut ties with Kanye West. He was also suspended from several social media platforms. However, he was back on Twitter after the South African billionaire Elon Musk took over the platform. But the American rapper was unfazed by all the criticism and once again found himself in trouble because of his controversial views.

Why did Elon Musk suspend Kanye West from Twitter?

Recently, Kanye West made an appearance in an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones while donning a full-face black mask. Ye lauded German tyrant Adolf Hitler during the discussion.

Ye also stated that the Jewish media only presents Hitler and the Nazis in one way. And he was of the opinion that they have given the world something valuable, regardless of the holocaust.

Not only that, but he also posted a Swastika symbol combined with a Star of David in a deleted tweet on his official Twitter account. This was the straw for the Tesla CEO. A few hours later, Ye’s account was suspended.

“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk said while replying to a user who questioned about Ye.

Ex-UFC star’s response to the controversy

As the news broke, former UFC welterweight title challenger Jake Shields, who is frequently active on Twitter, gave his thoughts on the same. “Kanye is so crazy he makes Alex Jones uncomfortable,” Shields wrote.

The former UFC fighter never hesitates to express his frank opinions on controversial subjects. He has previously remained in new for his beef with Cardi B. However, Shields speaks his mind on Twitter, without thinking about the consequences. It was clear from his tweet that the even ex-UFC star was not happy with Ye’s statements.
