Jake Paul has ruffled more than a few feathers after he ‘accidentally’ broke the news that Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury had welcomed their first child.
Paul and Fury are set to battle it out in the ring in Saudi Arabia on 26 February, after months of cancellations due to visa issues and injuries. And it seems Paul has taken trash talk to a whole new level.
As fans will already be aware, Love Island’s Fury and Hague have recently welcomed their newborn daughter into the world and shared the incredible news with their 7+ million followers on Monday.
However, before they could make their announcement themselves, Paul decided to spill the news in a Tweet while also bashing his rival Fury, who he claimed had ‘no excuses now,’ in reference to their upcoming fight.
He wrote: “Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue.”
It seems that Paul was unaware that he had ‘leaked’ the baby news before the couple had the chance to announce it, as he told reporters: “Did I do that? I leaked it? Oh s***. My bad. I’m sorry Tommy, but don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone the gender or anything like that.”
It didn’t stop there though, as Paul went on to leave a remark on the Instagram post after Hague and Fury made their own public announcement.
“Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out,” he wrote before later deleting the comment.
And understandably, fans were furious with him, one wrote: “No matter your opinion on the whole Jake Paul and Tommy Fury situ, it’s just morally wrong to a) announce the birth of someone else’s baby and b) comment on their announcement post with such an inappropriate comment.”
While another said: “Jake Paul announcing the birth of someone else’s baby before they do seems cruel to me, I feel like he robbed them of a special moment for, what, a cheap shot?”
And a third added: “The fact that Jake Paul actually leaked that Molly Mae had her baby is so sad for her. I would have been gutted if someone had announced that I had birthed my child before I got to, especially to millions of people.”
“Don’t really care about Molly Mae/Tommy business, but the fact she’s probably felt the need to announce to the world about her baby because Jake Paul wanted to one-up Tommy Fury is actually disgusting. Her first baby announced by some egotistical p***k,” another chimed.
Despite the backlash, Paul didn’t stop there. He later spoke out about Fury to reporters, saying: “Yeah. It’s a bit bizarre. Two of his biggest life moments in a very short time period here.
“I was telling my friends: I don’t know how he’s mentally going to be able to deal with that.
“If I had a kid, I wouldn’t want to be showing up at the gym, so I think it’s going to be a distraction for him.”
What do you think about his comments?
