Kanye West’s name was written onto an Israeli missile that’s apparently going to be used in the war in the Middle East — and a prominent MMA fighter is taking credit for the stunt.
A photo was posted Sunday by Haim Gozali, an Israeli mixed-martial artist who was once affiliated with Bellator — and who’s been very outspoken on the conflict between Israel and Hamas … oftentimes mocking the death of Palestinians over these past few months.
He caught heat back in November for writing the names of Muslim UFC fighters onto a bomb that seemed to be on the front lines — including Khabib Nurmagomedov and others who’ve expressed support for Palestine. Haim was clearly trying to taunt them.
It’s unclear if he himself is the one that’s actually writing the names, or if he’s having someone else in the IDF do it on his behalf — but in any case, the guy has owned it all.
Now, a new photo of some missiles apparently in the possession of Israeli soldiers has been posted to his Twitter account — and he’s roping Kanye in … in very crude and cruel fashion.
Above the pic of the missile — which looks real — he wrote, “@kanyewest you don’t like us jewish. So we don’t like you too !!!” The picture itself features a shell with the writing … “Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali.” The photo echoes what he’d posted before.
Haim appears to have been recently banned from X, but he’s back now … and reveling in the ability to post again — with this image being one of the first things he’s thrown up.
Of course, the reason he’s even invoking Ye has to do with KW’s antisemitic rhetoric over the past year or so. He hasn’t explicitly talked much about the war, but he has spent a lot of time in that region for the past several months working on and finishing his new album.
Kanye hasn’t addressed Haim’s call-out, and it remains to be seen if he will.
