However, it looks like Paul might just have an opponent in the bag as he took shots at former kickboxer turned social media star, Andrew Tate. Top G has been the hot topic on the internet seeing massive growth in his following over the past few months. The reason for his quick rise to stardom was due to his polarizing and controversial views on women and society. However, Paul does not see eye to eye with the British kickboxer as he took shots at Tate’s supporters on his brother’s podcast.

In the episode, Paul and the co-hosts were discussing Tate’s impact on social media and how he’s also liked by many women as well. However, co-host George stated that his girlfriend despised Tate. Paul then claimed that this was all pre-planned by Tate and the people following him were ‘sheep’.

That’s exactly what he wants. He is playing everyone like a fiddle” said Paul. Co-host Mike Majlak agreed with Paul and added that this was the reason why he wasn’t so livid at Tate.

The Problem Child then added that Tate’s followers blindly followed him, giving him fame and attention, which was exactly what he wanted in the first place.”Some of those people don’t understand that they’re sheep again goes back to earlier. They’re giving him exactly what he wants. He’s sitting there, smiling, making millions of dollars people just can’t stop.” Paul added.

Although Paul and Tate might have some similarities in the way they rose to fame. The Problem Child certainly doesn’t hold respect for the former kickboxing world champion.

Jake Paul calls out Tate for a fight

Later in the podcast, Paul also called out Top G for a potential match. He called Tate a ‘fanboy’ who tried to reach out to Paul when he wasn’t famous. He then stated that a fight between them will happen in the future and he would beat Tate. “What I’m saying is that Andrew, if my brother doesn’t f*ck you up. I will, and it has to go down.” He said.
