Moreover, during the fight, the camera panned over to Saweetie, who worked as a ring girl for the Paul vs. Diaz event. That’s when the Irishman shared a tweet and made his move on the rapper. He tweeted, “F*** this, sweetie what’s up.”

Left hand can of [Forged Irish Stout].” However, these subliminal messages didn’t leave fans pleased.
