Are Tristan Tate and Jake Paul friends? Former kickboxer backs YouTuber amid boxing scandal, trolls ask 'why u so concerned'

Tristan Tate asserted that he did not believe anything until he heard from Jake Paul

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Tristan Tate, the younger brother of the infamous and provocative influencer, Andrew Tate, has stepped into the limelight with a fiery display of support for his friend and fellow content creator, Jake Paul. As rumors of a boxing scandal involving Paul do the rounds, Tate boldly took to social media to dismiss the allegations, brushing aside any credibility in the screen recordings of Paul's coach's conversations, which suggested potential fight-fixing.

This is not the first time Tate has publicly supported Paul. In the past, he has spoken openly about his preference for Paul over his brother, Logan. He had even gone as far as expressing his belief that Paul possessed superior fighting skills and moral character as compared to his Logan.

'Disregard until he says it himself out loud'

Dillon Danis created a massive uproar and commotion across various social media platforms when he decided to make public a series of direct messages that he had exchanged with Paul's coach. In these leaked conversations, Danis made bold accusations against the popular YouTube star, alleging that Paul was involved in manipulating the outcomes of his fights.

Taking to his Twitter account, Danis presented what he considered to be compelling evidence of how Paul's team was handling the arrangement of his fights. The evidence laid bare the behind-the-scenes dynamics and discussions that allegedly influenced the choice of opponents and fight schedules. According to Danis, 'The Problem Child' was insistent on facing him only when he knew Danis was dealing with a significant injury, raising eyebrows and fueling further speculation about the ethics of such practices within the world of combat sports.

The tweet that contained the leaked DMs and the accompanying accusations quickly grabbed the attention of Tate. Surprisingly, Tate publicly sided with Jake, expressing skepticism about the authenticity and reliability of the screenshots of the conversations shared by Danis. He asserted that he believed there were zero screenshots of "conversations" that could be deemed credible or verifiable. Tate tweeted, "For personal reasons I believe ZERO screenshots of “conversations”. Zero. Disregard until he says it himself out loud."

'Why u so concerned'

The alleged scandal involving Paul, and Tate coming to his defense triggered an avalanche of opinions and reactions from users on Twitter. One user wrote, "Why u so concerned, why do u like jake so much ?" Another user wrote, "Dms can be so faked man. I’ll wait till it comes from the horses mouth." A user stated, "Idk T. He basically proved them by doing this video screen recording." A user commented, "I mean there was highly possible factual evidence presented but I get your point."
