Jake Paul threatens to ‘expose’ bitter rival KSI ahead of fight with Alex Wassabi as YouTubers feud continues
JAKE PAUL threatened to “expose” bitter rival KSI as the pair got embroiled in an ugly Twitter spat online.
KSI is returning to the ring to face Alex Wassabi on August 27 for the first time since beating Jake’s brother Logan in 2019.
The Brit called Jake a “c***” while appearing on Logan’s podcast earlier this year – and couldn’t resist taking another shot at the Problem Child on social media this morning.
Paul, 25, posted a promo for his upcoming August 6 bout with Hasim Rahman Jr, offering: “$1000 (£831) to someone who like & retweets this tweet”.
KSI quote-tweeted the post, writing: “Don’t think we don’t see how desperate this looks 
.
“No one cares, so you gotta pay to create hype lmao.”

.”
The Problem Child responded by bragging: “I made $45 million (£37.4m) last year while you made weekly YouTube videos.”

“I never did. I’m happy to say I’m a YouTuber to this day because now I can do/be whatever I want.
“I’m thinking long term my guy. You failed at this.”
This prompted Paul to mock him, with the American writing back: “imagine saying: ‘yes u made $45m but i’m a youtuber and i’m proud!
'”
KSI calmly replied: “My YouTube channels: Sidemen YouTube channels. Sides, XIX Vodka, Music/Tours, Prime hydration, Adidas, Misfits Boxing…
“Think about it Jake.”
