Although, Jake Paul’s known ones aren’t targeted the first time. Back in 2021, Paul’s brother’s music producer was shot in Puerto Rico too. However, he wasn’t harmed in the incident. Yet, the other in the Uber with him was hospitalized and eventually had to be treated to get him fine.
Hopefully everything is okay and well

I feel bad. BJ always came across pretty respectful in all his interviews. I have a feeling there might be some beef between him and Jake recently so hope the police check that kid. I just don’t trust him.
