Lately, Kyrie Irving and Kanye West have dominated the internet through their tweets. Although the tweets were deleted, Kyrie Irving’s controversy caught Derek Brunson’s attention. The fighter took to Twitter and tried to get some insights.

Jake Shields replied to Brunson’s tweet, giving him a brief idea of the ongoing controversy. However, he didn’t back down from mockery, either.

Jake Shields’ reply to Derek Brunson

Derek Brunson was unable to hide his curiosity regarding the Kyrie Irving and Ye controversy. The middleweight UFC fighter recently tweeted, “Can someone tell me exactly what Kanye & Kyrie did or said? I can’t find anything legit anywhere . Has everything been removed ?!”

Jake Shields took the responsibility of replying to Brunson, but in a seemingly mocking tone. He replied, “I don’t think they said much but you better not either or Disney will get your UFC contract dropped. I think Kyrie just tweeted a link to a move of black people claiming they were Jews and I guess they don’t like that.”

In his defense, he said, “We’re in 2022. It’s on Amazon, a public platform. Whether you wanna go watch it or not is up to you. There’s things being posted every day. I am no different than the next human being, so don’t treat me any different.” His claim was that history should not be hidden from anybody. 

Although the Brooklyn Nets guard claimed that he respects all religions and didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, he faced wrath on the internet and on the court. In the recent Nets vs. Pacers match, a group of people were seen wearing ‘Fight anti-semitism’ t-shirts.

Ye supported Kyrie Irving

While Irving took no part in defending the rapper, Kanye West showered his support for the basketball star. Ye said that Irving was one of the ‘real ones’. He took to Instagram and posted a picture of the Nets guard and captioned, “There’s some real ones still here.”

Previously, Ye posted a series of controversial tweets. Although this isn’t the first time the rapper has stood amidst controversy, his silence seemed a lot louder this time. His support for the basketball star was probably fuel for the ongoing controversies.
