#3. Jake Paul bashes Andrew Tate and his brand
On a recent episode of IMPAULSIVE, Jake Paul ripped into Andrew Tate for his brand and how his target demographic is young, impressionable children.
"I just think it's funny that 'Top G' is a fanboy and he runs with this whole thing like, 'What color is your Bugatti.' Andrew, it's not cool to tell kids that they need a Bugatti to be cool."
He went on to add:
"My Bugatti that I have is in a Morgan Stanley bank account, compounding interest and hundreds of millions of dollars. So that's cooler than having a f*cking Bugatti."
