Jake Paul has always had his fair share of fans: some teenagers, some controversial, sometimes both. And now, it appears Tristan Tate has joined the club.
Which has suprised many since Tate and his elder brother Andrew are two of the most notorious personalities on the internet. In fact, they have been banned from most major social media platforms except Twitter for their misogynistic comments and unfiltered opinions.
Tristan’s unexpected support for Jake Paul emerged when the latter had taken to his official Twitter account to wish his supporters a happy Fourth of July. He shared a photo of himself and his girlfriend, Dutch speed skater, Jutta Leerdam, with his vintage Ford in the background. Paul playfully stated in the caption that their partnership was the essence of the American Dream. He wrote:
“Two of us are made in America. The other is made for me. The American Dream is real. Happy 4th of July. @JuttaLeerdam_@Ford”
Jake is my friend

Tristan Tate responded to his tweet with a one–word comment: “respect“. Following that, a fan launched an attack on the YouTuber–turned boxer. But Tate came to the boxer’s defense, claiming that the latter was a buddy of his. He wrote:
“Jake is my friend.”
While Tristan seems to be on good terms with Jake Paul, his brother doesn’t think the ‘Problem Child’ is a real boxer.
Andrew Tate’s beef with Paul
Because influencer boxing is a new trend in combat sports, Andrew Tate and Jake Paul were on the verge of a battle inside the squared ring. It all started with both of them taking shots at each other in various interviews.
Later there were rumours of a boxing match between them. Tate and Paul even uploaded a video in which they faced off against each other to further pique the interest of their followers. The battle, however, never took place.
As for Tristan, far from facing off, he would rather buy Jake Paul a drink if he ever ran into him.
In a recent interview, with Patrick Bet-David, he said,
“I saw Jake Paul I’d buy him a drink. I like Jake, Logan not so much but Jake is a hard-working young man who has put it all on the line and gets in the ring against people vastly more experienced themselves in combat sports than he thought.”
What do you guys think about Tristan’s tweet for Paul?
