After his brother’s recent boxing victory, Jake Paul found himself at the center of a controversy as allegations of cocaine use circulated online. However, the YouTube sensation and boxer quickly shut down the rumors with a humorous response in a recent video.
Key Takeaway
Jake Paul addresses allegations of cocaine use by responding with humor and logical explanations. He emphasizes that the accusations are baseless and highlights the physical exertion and natural perspiration that led to the misunderstood gestures.
Addressing the Allegations
On social media, footage emerged showing Jake Paul touching his nose, leading to speculation that he was snorting cocaine. In response, Paul released a YouTube video where he made light of the accusations by surrounding himself with Coca-Cola cans and playfully tossing a white powder in the air, mimicking LeBron James.
Jokingly, Paul asked his friends, “Y’all want some Coke?” as he pretended to be drugged out.

In addition to the cocaine use allegations, Jake Paul’s involvement in a post-fight scuffle after his brother’s victory added fuel to the rumors. However, Paul argued that his physical exertion during the intense brawl contributed to his profuse sweating.
“This is the thing. I go to brawl in the ring to save my f***ing brother,” Paul explained. “Forty grown men around me, huffing and puffing, everyone yelling. I’m drenched in sweat, literally sweating down my face, trying to get it off.”
Support from His Girlfriend
Jake Paul’s girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, stood by him, insisting that she has witnessed firsthand how seriously he takes care of his body. She urged the haters to stop trying to create a false image of him.
