In 2017, while working on the second season of the sitcom broadcast on the Disney Channel, Jake unexpectedly left the project. The news reported that the actor who played Dirk Mann was asked to do this because of provocative behaviour. Neighbours went public with complaints about crowds of fans and noisy parties disrupting public order and making it difficult to sleep at night.

Paul confirmed the information on Twitter and said that now there is a chance to focus on his personal brand. He directed all his attention to producing videos for the YouTube channel and organising a creative agency that specialises in the production of entertainment materials for teenagers.

Within a month, the authors received more than 70 million views. The song was certified platinum by the RIAA and entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

On the eve of his battle with Deji Olatunji, a master light heavyweight, the young man unveiled his new release Champion.

Having defeated his opponent by technical knockout, the blogger and musician went on tour. For undisclosed reasons, after the tour, he lost like-minded people and colleagues. At the end of 2019, the fight with An Eson Gib became an episode of the fight for the WBO world middleweight title.

At the same time, the American assembled another team; the video for the composition These Days became a symbol of change. Later, along with the single Fresh Outta London, a video filmed at a friendly party was released on the YouTube channel. After criticism from the city of Calabasas, the blogger, boxer and performer gained national attention.

The song “23” and the video of the same name, which had references to the author’s age, generated positive and neutral reviews. The public liked that the only actor was his own older brother. The composition Dummy, released in October 2020, received its share of virtual applause, but did not make it into any charts.

Jake Paul has dated numerous beautiful women

In Jake’s personal life, gorgeous girls were constantly present. The blogger’s first true love came after meeting Alyssa Violet in 2016. Due to the difference in personalities, the romance was fleeting, and after 15 months the couple announced their separation. After this, the American began to be more attentive to his choice of girlfriends.

In 2018, Erica Costell, a model and singer, appeared on the horizon. Relationships where intimacy was combined with joint creativity also led nowhere. The beautiful American woman was replaced by YouTube star Tana Mongo. The Internet diva jokingly claimed to be the official wife, but the wedding did not take place.

After this, boxing fans questioned the legitimacy of the match. Rumours of collusion, widespread among professionals, were neither denied nor confirmed by anyone.

The outcome of the battle added to Paul’s confidence in his own superiority, and his wounded pride forced him to enter into controversy with Dana White, the current president of the UFC. The topics for exchange of opinions were the fight with Tyron Woodley, scheduled for August 29, the challenge involuntarily thrown to Jorge Masvidal, as well as the meeting of brother Logan with Floyd Mayweather, who at different times won the WBC, WBO and WBA champion titles.

The fight with Woodley followed all boxing rules and lasted all 8 rounds; Paul won it by a split decision. The winner was dissatisfied with the result, calling it “nonsense” and stating that during the entire fight the opponent hit him only once.
