Jake Paul has offered up a proposition on ending the Kanye West-Pete Davidson dispute: a boxing match, paid by Paul himself.
Paul, who is the founder of the boxing promotion company Most Valuable Promotions, offered the pair $60 million to box against each other in a celebrity boxing match.
“My official @MostVpromotions offer for @kanyewest & Pete Davidson,” he tweeted. “I have $30m guaranteed for Kanye And $30m guaranteed for Pete.”
He went on to add further incentives to the match between the Chicago rapper-producer and the Saturday Night Live comedian.
“+ PPV upside, money will be put in escrow before 6 round boxing match.”
Paul ended the tweet with a jab. “Let’s settle this beef like men, before the children get any more impacted.”
The boxing match offer comes after months of Kanye beefing with Davidson for dating ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who was legally declared single by a judge in their ongoing divorce.
This latest development in the growing feud between West and Davidson come after the leak of a text message conversation between the pair was posted to SNL writer Dave Sirus’s Instagram account, which is now private. In the messages, Davidson allegedly bragged about being in bed with Kim before asking West to meet and have a proper one-on-one conversation.
West responded to Davidson’s messages with a video of him praying, which has since been deleted but is still available on Pop Crave’s Twitter account.
“The boyfriend texting me, antagonizing me, bragging about being in bed with my wife,” West said in the video. “Publicly for a year-and-a-half I been dragged. How she not my wife, she don’t have my last name. Now, he texting me talking about… bragging about how he’s in bed with my wife. And I’m like, Well, who’s watching my children? If he’s texting me bragging about being in bed with my wife.”
This isn’t the first time Jake Paul has offered a boxing match challenge to rappers.
In May of 2021, he offered to box with Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine in a Q&A session on his Instagram Story.
“I want to because he deserves to get his ass beat and I want to do it for all the people he’s disrespected but honestly would be too easy and a 30 second fight + he wouldn’t show up in the ring on the day of the fight but yes I would love to knock him out.”
In response to the challenge, 6ix9ine said, “I think he’s on steroids like his security guard who passed away.”
