Allegations of cocaine abuse have hit Internet persona Jake Paul after attending his brother Loganâs boxing match against MMA fighter Dillon Danis in Manchester on October 14.
Instead of the usual formal ways of addressing allegations, Paul took a more comedic approach through a video ed to his YouTube channel.
Prior to the incident, Logan and Danis spent weeks of trash-talking and restraining orders until the match took place to settle their differences.
After the match, accusations flowed in as people assumed Paul had consumed cocaine. In a post-match recording, Paul can be seen touching his nose behind his older brother.
Jutta Leerdam, Paulâs girlfriend, defended his boyfriend, saying that she had seen first-hand how serious Paul is in maintaining his health and how haters should stop making false rumors about him.
In his latest YouTube video, Paul mimics LeBron James, surrounding himself with Coca-Cola cans and tossing a cocaine-like powder in the air. Following the scene, his face becomes more serious, and he explains that he looks that way because he is someone who sweats a lot.
Paul then zooms on his nose to show how moist his skin becomes after âfive minutes of existing.â
Paul explained his breathing wasnât in an ideal condition after he tried to save Logan during his older brotherâs scuffle with Danis.
âThis is the thing, is I go to brawl in the ring to save my f***ing brother,â said Paul. âForty grown men around me, everyoneâs huffing and puffing, Iâm yelling, âYou bitch, youâre lucky I didnât kill you,â and Iâm literally drenched in sweat.â
Security was forced to separate Logan and Danis to prevent the situation from deteriorating during the altercation.
âI come out, everyone knows Iâm the most sweatiest person in the world. So I get into the ring to like, go be there for my brother and s***, and I put my hat on and Iâm literally sweating down my face, so Iâm just like this (rubs face), trying to get the sweat off of my f***ing face,â he said.
Paul concluded his defense by saying heâs more âmushrooms and wine kinda guy.â
