Jake Paul has broken his silence after singing sensation Olivia Rodrigo mocked him under her Saturday Night Live performance at the weekend.
The 23-year-old musician hosted NBCs flagship sketch show and mocked the YouTuber-turned-boxer for “beating old guys on Netflix,” apparently referencing Jake’s fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson.
During his monologue, Rodrigo reminisced about his childhood projects, saying: “When I was 13, I was in a Disney show called Bizaardvark and we have an incredible cast which included the acting legend Jake Paul.”
She also recalled the conversations both stars had at the time, saying: “And we were always talking about our future, me and Jake. I’d say, ‘I really want to make music that explores the complexities of girls my age’, and he’d say, ‘Well, one day I really want to beat old guys on Netflix.’
In a 2024 fight streamed live on Netflix, Jake defeated the 58-year-old legend Tyson, which was widely described as more of a spectacle than a real fight.
Rodrigo has a successful music career and Paul has gone from a social media sensation to a boxer, so both have obviously achieved their childhood dreams.
The singer said: “And we both did it, hooray!”
Taking to X to respond to Rodrigo’s monologue, Jake wrote, “We had the vision [crying laughing emoji] I told you that you would sell out stadiums and we were both proud of you from [for real].”
Olivia Rodrigo and Jake Paul starred together on the Disney Channel sitcom Bizaardvarkwhich ran for three seasons from 2013 to 2016.
