YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, has recently received flak for his association with scam crypto sites and NFTs. It was also stated that ‘The Problem Child’ has allegedly scammed a whopping USD 2.2 million from fans. Meanwhile, KSI’s upcoming opponent took to social media and called out Paul for the same.

Paul is currently facing a lawsuit because of the cryptocurrency token, SafeMoon. Moreover, the lawsuit accused Paul along with a few other celebrities of making misleading claims about SafeMoon to investors. Additionally, YouTube investigator, Coffeezilla, also scrutinized Paul’s other crypto projects like, Yummy, Sacred Devils, Milf, and StickDix.

And, talking about his findings, Coffeezilla mentioned that Paul made USD 1.56 million from StickDix and USD 300,000 from Yummy. He also made USD 190,000 from SafeMoon, USD 139,000 from Sacred Devils, and USD 50,000 from Milf. All in all, he is said to have made a whopping USD 2.2 million.

Meanwhile, rapper Swarmz is set to face KSI at the O2 Arena in London on August 27, 2022. In an Instagram post, Swarmz called out Paul for ‘scamming’ his fans. He expressed his disappointment in Paul for doing that to people who supported him. In fact, he even went on to take a sly dig at KSI for the issue.

It is worth noting that while the accusations against Paul are adrift, we are still unsure if they’re true or not.
