Former UFC veteran Jake Shields sparked controversy with a cryptic post about Kanye West’s safety, suggesting that if anything happened to the rapper, people would know who was responsible. This came after Kanye himself made a shocking claim, telling his followers to blame Ben Shapiro if he magically died.
Shapiro, a conservative commentator and founder of The Daily Wire, had previously banned Kanye from the platform after the rapper’s repeated controversial statements. In response to Shields' tweet, Kanye escalated the conversation, implying that he might kill himself or magically disappear, adding further fuel to an already heated debate.

One fan said:
"Shapiro is Mossad agent"
The "Mossad agent" remark referenced a long-running conspiracy theory suggesting that Ben Shapiro, being a Jewish conservative figure, is linked to Israeli intelligence.
Other comments were read as:
"Slap Ben Shapiro > Ye off himself"
"We gotta deport Ben back to Israel"
"Ben Shapiro has never been punched and we all know it. My wife could beat that with 1 hand"
"Jews love control, they don’t like it when you glitch out of their system"
"People think they already killed him and this new Ye is a clone"

“He’s doing a lot better. I won’t get into personal details, but he’s been dealing with some things for a while, and it finally seems to be heading in the right direction. I’m hopeful for Nick—he’s like a brother to me, one of my best friends. Life has its ups and downs, and it’s tough watching someone struggle, but I truly believe he’s on the path to getting better. I haven’t felt this way in a long time, so it’s a relief. Time will tell, but things are looking up.”
