INfluencer and boxer Jake Paul are working on it again. If there is one thing he has proven over the years, it’s even better if he loves trends and it’s controversial. Instead of slowing down, each scandal appears to be fueling him more (as if he’s tied to a rocket).
Jake Paul angers fans with a collision hot take
With a scandal-filled career with Tiktok’s 18.7 million followers, Jake Paul knows how to make noise. And this week was no exception. He uploaded a video promoting the Energy Drink Celsius. There they were seen trying to knock down three cans placed in the goalpost. After hitting the target, he jumps to celebrate the Cristiano Ronaldo style, but wears a Lionel Messi jersey.
The scene, just a few seconds long, was enough to ignite a storm of comments. For many users, mixing Messi jersey with Cristiano’s celebration felt like an unnecessary provocation. Videos flooded with comments such as “New Ronaldo with Messi’s jersey,” “Even Judas went too far,” “Wearing Messi’s jersey and saying he was Ronaldo.”
Messi + Ronaldo? Chaos recipes
Interestingly, Cristiano fans were the loudest in the comments section, while Messi’s supporters were remarkably quiet. The video was fake and some suggested that Jake hadn’t actually hit the can. “Who is hell pulling the can?”, “Bluetooth Connection,” and “Editors deserve Ballon d’or not Dembl or Yamal” were one of the most viral replies.
Context Issues: Messi’s controversy is not new
This incident adds another chapter to a story that already has history. Earlier this year, Jake’s brother Logan Paul sparked a controversy involving Lionel Messi. Logan accused Messi’s team of copying his product designs, and Messi’s camp fought back in an unfair competition lawsuit.
Logan even tried out boxing matches, but that was Argentine star bodyguard Yassie Choco. Leo replied that he didn’t even know who he was. Logan remains true to his style, responding with irony and said he will fight only if Yasin agrees to drink Prime after winning.
Jake and the Formula Who Never Fails
If one thing is clear, then the Paul Brothers love to play on fire. And with one of the most intense rivals of Sports Messi vs. Ronaldo, even the smallest spark could cause a social media war. Jake Paul knows this very well. And it’s just such a provocation, keeping him at the heart of digital conversation. Meanwhile, Messi focuses on his career, as he is as out of noise as usual.
And if there is one thing that never changes in Jake Paul’s career, it is his unparalleled talent for being in the spotlight.
