The video, which TMZ reports was taken in Palm Springs in April 2017 during a Coachella weekend, shows the 20-year-old freestlying over Rae Srummurd’s “Throw Sum Mo” beat.
About seven seconds into the video, Paul can be heard saying “little n— a—.” Later on, he says “I whip it like my n— Richie Vetter, he make the p— so w— it gets w—.”
Twitter reacted to the Bizaardvark star’s use of the N-word, calling his career “over.”
Jake Paul used the ‘n’ word. Now I’ll be watching his career going down the drain. (Even though I’m pretty sure it already is) Who wants popcorn? 🍿#jakepaulisoverparty

One of the brothers who makes up the duo of Rae Srummurd, Slim Jxmmi, was recently featured in a collaboration on Paul’s Christmas album.
Meanwhile, Paul’s older brother and fellow YouTube star, Logan Paul, is facing extreme backlash after posting a video of a dead body hanging from a tree in a Japanese suicide forest.
Celebrities and social media influencers alike called out Logan Paul, which led to two apologies earlier this week from the 22-year-old former Vine star.
In a video message via Twitter, Logan Paul called the video a “severe and continuous lapse in judgment” and says he doesn’t “expect to be forgiven.” He also apologized to the victim’s family and “anyone who has been affected by mental illness or depression or suicide.”
While Logan Paul’s fans defended his actions, many others rejected his apology and even demanded that his YouTube channel be deleted.
Many took to Twitter to slam both Paul brothers after the video of Jake Paul surfaced on Friday.
Logan and Jake paul need banned from YouTube retweet if you think they should like if they shouldn’t

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PENNSYLVANIA – FEBRUARY 2: Groundhog handler AJ Dereume holds Punxsutawney Phil after he saw his shadow predicting 6 more weeks of winter during the 139th annual Groundhog Day festivities on Friday February 2, 2025 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Groundhog Day is a popular tradition in the United States and Canada. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his den. Early spring arrives if he does not see his shadow, causing Phil to remain above ground. (Photo by Jeff Swensen/Getty Images)
