Jake Shields and Kanye West have few things in common, but one of them is their dislike for all things Jewish and Israeli.
Once upon a time, West was one of the biggest names in the music industry, compiling a slew of critically acclaimed hits and a popular line of footwear that made him a legitimate billionaire. Today, he’s nothing more than a pariah after making a series of antisemitic statements on social media that cost him a lucrative deal with Adidas, effectively removing him from Forbes’ coveted list of the World’s Billionaires.
Recently, Shields shared a clip of ‘Yeezy’ talking about how all of his bank accounts were shut down which prompted the embattled rapper to run for President of the United States.
In the former Strikeforce middleweight champion’s caption of the clip, he heavily suggested West’s accounts were shut off by entities who are presumably Jewish for simply having “the wrong opinions.”
“Ye talks about how he decided to run for president after his bank accounts were shut off,” Shields wrote on X. “He saw that the could shut off his bank accounts for having the wrong opinions. If they can shut off a billionaires bank accounts imagine what they can do to you.”

It’s certainly not the first time Shields has shared content supporting anti-zionism.
Jake Shields Snaps Back at Joe Rogan
Last month, Shields slammed longtime UFC color commentator Joe Rogan after the popular podcaster condemned those spreading conspiracy theories claiming that Jews are in control of everything.
“Every now and then I’ll come across a comment from people thinking that there is some f*cking grand conspiracy like we’re all being puppet mastered by, it’s always Jews,” Rogan said. “I forget who told me this, but one of the symptoms of collapsing civilization is that they start blaming things on Jews. One of them is they get very obsessed with gender and the other one is they start blaming Jews.”
Shields responded to Rogan’s comments in a most sarcastic fashion on X, writing:
“It’s nice seeing Joe Rogan call out these crazy antisemites who think Jews are controlling America. Jewish organizations like AIPAC, the ADL, Jewish Congress… are here for the greater good of society.”
