MAFS villain Daniel Holmes has sparked controversy after throwing his support behind Kanye West after he was banned from Twitter for anti-Semitic remarks.
Daniel posted a now-deleted text slide to his Instagram story that reads, “Team Kanye, Team Tate, Team trump, Team stevewilldoit, TEAM FREE SPEECH.”
He posted a second slide, which still remains on his story, reading: “There’s a shift coming. Censorship and cancel culture is being overthrown.”
The MAFS participant appears to be referring to the backlash that Kanye West has received over his anti-Semitic comments.
On October 7th the rapper shared a screenshot of a conversation between himself and P Diddy on Instagram.. “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me. I told you this was war,” he wrote.
Shortly after, the rapper was banned from Instagram. He then took to Twitter to make more anti-Semitic comments in a now-deleted tweet. Kanye wrote: “When I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

It’s inferred that West was referencing DEFCON 3, which is an alert used in the US military that means “increase in force readiness above normal readiness” and is regularly used to signal a serious threat.
It’s not the first time that Daniel has sparked controversy for his beliefs. Back in September – before he appeared on MAFS – he shared a post to his Facebook account that read “they’ll have to tie me down before I get vaccinated”.
Not because I don’t believe in it, but because they’re taking away my freedoms if I don’t. It’s the oldest rule in the book of sales. Get the prospect saying yes and they’re easier to convert.”
However, it seems that Holmes quickly reneged on his passionate stance, as the show’s production company Endemol Shine required all participants to be vaccinated to take part in the show.
