Popular YouTube star, Jake Paul, seems to have learned some life lessons since the massive FBI raid on his Los Angeles home last week, as he shares a video saying he is cutting off ‘bad people’ out of his life for good.
Jake Paul addressing fans in the video he shared, said he is letting his fans know that the federal investigators raiding his home as part of an ongoing investigation into a looting incident at an Arizona mall, and nothing more.
He also denied that he is facing other serious crimes after some reports on the FBI raid.
Jake Paul is breaking his silence after he was charged several months ago after a mall in Scottdale, Arizona was looted by rioters following the death of George Floyd. He had appeared in one of the videos showing the group walking inside the mall. The Youtuber was charged with criminal trespass and unlawful assembly.
In the new video, Paul wants his fans to know the FBI is entirely connected to the looting case, and not anything else.
Jake Paul references people in his life who could be doing ‘malicious things’ and says they will be cut out of his life. It’s unclear if this person (s) is connected to the FBI investigation.
“When I become aware of someone around me doing malicious things they are immediately cut out of my life. I don’t put up with bulls–t. I don’t surround myself with bad people, and if someone does something bad, they will be removed from my life,” he says in the video.
He continues, “My goal right now is to continue to focus on myself, boxing, and music.”
Paul ends the update by thanking his fans, saying, “I want to say thanks to my fans who have been sticking by my side through all these crazy times.”
FBI had shown up to his home in L.A. with over 20 officers decked out in riot gear and loaded up with an arsenal of weapons. Video from the scene showed Sheriff’s loading several rifles into a police vehicle during the search.
