Realize you have power.
Turn off this halftime. A fake American...- Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 8, 2026 Via Twitter: @jakepaul The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpretedhe's not a fake citizen obviously bc hes Puerto Rican and I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the countryMoreso Bunny is fake bc of his values and criticism of our great country- Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 9, 2026 Via Twitter: @jakepaul To clarify: I wasn't calling anyone a "fake citizen" because they're from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico. I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so.
But if you're publicly criticizing ICE who are doing...- Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 9, 2026 Via Twitter: @jakepaul Guys i love bad bunny idk what happened on my twitter last night ?? wtf- Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 9, 2026 @jakepaul / Via Twitter: @jakepaul 4.
