YouTuber Jake Paul has involved himself in the ongoing Zayn Malik and Yolanda Hadid controversy. The boxer took to Twitter on October 29, throwing a jab at Malik’s now ex-partner, Gigi Hadid. The tweet comes after Malik allegedly hit Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid.
The 24-year-old YouTuber wrote in the tweet:
“Your ‘rEsPeCtFuL KiNg’ punched your mom in the face”
The younger Paul brother tweeted the aforementioned phrase as he retweeted Gigi Hadid's year-old comeback, where she had described Zayn Malik as a “respectful king.”
Their online feud began in February 2020 after the former One Direction band member displayed an attitude towards Jake Paul. After receiving a disappointing greeting from the singer, Paul had tweeted:
“Zane [sic] ik you’re reading this…stop being angry cause u came home alone to ur big a*s hotel room hahaha.”
Following Paul’s tweet, Hadid defended her then boyfriend Malik by writing:
“Lol cause he doesn’t care to hang w you and your embarrassing crew of YouTube groupies ..? Home alone with his best friends like a respectful king cause he has me, sweetie. Unbothered by your irrelevant ugly a*s. Go to bed …”
