Do you believe in Karma? Well, perhaps Logan Paul’s infamous brother Jake Paul didn’t. Hence, he playfully said that the swimming legend Michael Phelps is the most overrated athlete. However, as Newton rightly summarized, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction,” the words he said ricocheted right back at him.

Given that Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time, the statement by famous YouTuber Jake Paul would have made many people angry. Perhaps the term overrated is an antonym of what Phelps is. However, as soon as he said the words, Jake realized he had made a terrible mistake.

Why is Jake Paul so famous?

Jake Paul does most of the things that his elder brother Logan Paul does. He is an American social media personality and a professional boxer with an undefeated score of 5-0. However, unlike his brother, he rose to fame with the video-sharing app Vine until the app became extinct. He later shifted to YouTube, where he posts most of his content for his 20.4M subscribers.
