While Soulja has yet to speak on the matter via social media, their altercation comes as no surprise, as the rapper told Paul during a previous facetime that the two would fight “on sight.”
Both parties have since placed a whopping $20 million on their bout – although Paul speculated that Soulja Boy doesn’t have the cash in question.
Their beef began after Paul called out the rapper on Twitter, to which Soulja responded that he would “knock [Paul] out.” Since then, the two have gone back and forth across social media, with Paul’s Instagram story documenting their latest encounter.
UPDATE: Jake Paul has since uploaded his encounter with Soulja Boy in its entirety, which resulted in the two shaking hands on their boxing match. While no date has yet been set, it appears that the two are gearing up for a legitimate fight.
