But with Adrian\u2019s Kickback party getting shut down, and Dream revealing that he unintentionally cheated in an old Minecraft speedrun, the past week hasn\u2019t been entirely positive. Good Week: Bella Poarch scores \u201cbiggest YouTube debut\u201d with Build a B*tch Bella Poarch is one of the many TikTok stars making a name for themselves in the music industry. Joining the ranks of Dixie D\u2019Amelio, Chase Hudson, and Nessa Barrett, Bella Poarch released her very first track \u2018Build a B*tch\u2019 on May 15 \u2014 and it was met with critical acclaim from fans. The nursery rhyme song disses the current online culture that picks apart women\u2019s appearances on social media, with Poarch herself claiming that her experiences getting bullied as a child inspired the song. Her single shot to the top of streaming services almost instantly. Not only did it beat out Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u2018good 4 u\u2019 \u2014 which was released on the same day \u2014 Poarch\u2019s \u2018Build a B*tch\u2019 also became the number one trending music video on YouTube in the Philippines, marking a massive win for the Filipina singer\/TikToker. That\u2019s not all; Poarch\u2019s track went on to land in 58th place on the Billboard Hot 100, and was even titled the \u201cbiggest YouTube debut in history\u201d by Warner Records. That\u2019s nothing to sniff at! It\u2019s clear that Bella Poarch has some serious star power, and fans can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s next for the influencer who went from making the most-liked TikTok ever to becoming a songwriter with a historic musical debut on the net\u2019s biggest video platform. Bad Week: Dream admits to having cheats enabled in Minecraft speedrun Minecraft YouTuber Dream was accused of cheating back in December 2020, when his 1.16 record was rejected on account of it being \u201ctoo unlikely to verify.\u201d The YouTuber firmly denied these accusations at the time and even hired professional statisticians to aid him in proving the drops he got on that run were possible. However, on May 30, Dream revealed that upon further inspection, he actually had been using a \u201cdisallowed modification\u201d in the run. He explained via a PasteBin that: \u201cI felt really terrible for the mods because I dragged them through the mud even though they were mostly right.\u201d The YouTuber also made it clear that he didn\u2019t want any more drama surrounding the situation, and implored fans not to send any hate toward the mod team. Good Week: Jake Paul has made $20 million from his boxing career While some may have been doubtful that the youngest Paul brother would make it far in the boxing world, the YouTube star has certainly managed to find monetary success in his new sporting endeavor. He kicked off his boxing career fighting Deji Olatunji, and went on to beat both Nate Robinson and Ben Askren in hugely anticipated fights, proving many wrong. Now, Sports Valuations Reporter at Sportico, Kurt Badenhausen, has estimated that Jake has made a whopping $20 million from boxing. The star seemed to confirm that the figure is accurate when he quote tweeted Kurt\u2019s tweet saying, \u201coh we just getting warmed up.\u201d And it seems as though the boxing opportunities have yet to slow down, with some other creators and boxers looking to challenge the star. Jake even just recently shut down Tommy Fury\u2019s offer to fight, saying: \u201cYou have some ladders to climb to get onto my level.\u201d Bad Week: Viral TikTok party Adrian\u2019s Kickback gets shut down by police Around May 20, a viral TikTok started circulating inviting everyone to a birthday party called Adrian\u2019s Kickback, which was set to be held at Huntington Beach, California. The now-deleted video garnered millions of views, and countless people turned up on May 22 to see if there really would be a party. It\u2019s safe to say things got a little out of hand. With thousands of attendees, fireworks, music, and alcohol all mixed together, it proved to be a much bigger event than was initially planned. Eventually police turned up to try and shut down the gathering, and they had to use riot spray to disperse the huge crowds. LA videographer Sean Carmitchel even reported that some arrests had been made. The event attracted a huge amount of attention on social media, but clearly didn\u2019t go as planned. With Logan Paul\u2019s fight against Floyd Mayweather coming up on June 6, fans are already gearing up to find out who will come out on top, marking the next big event in the social media calendar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
