Good Week, Bad Week: Jake Paul beats Ben Askren, Jeffree Star in severe car crash Instagram: jakepaul \/ YouTube: Jeffree StarThe Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight has meant a busy week for the influencer world, but while the YouTuber saw huge success after months of training, not everyone has had the best of weeks. This past week has seen a huge amount of ups and downs with regard to some of the most popular creators online. With big events, unforeseen incidents, and TikTok dating drama going public, it\u2019s been a decidedly mixed bag. But with all the drama going on, who\u2019s had a good week, and who\u2019s had a bad one? Good Week: Bryce Hall\u2019s making bank from Austin McBroom fight With the TikTokers vs YouTubers boxing card in the pipeline, Bryce Hall revealed that he expects to be making huge amounts of money from the match on top of his already impressive riches. Appearing on Adam \u2018Adam22\u2019 Grandmaison\u2019s No Jumper podcast, the host asked him how much he\u2019s getting paid, revealing that he had heard speculation it was around 70% (of Pay-per-view sales). Hall said: \u201cI\u2019m getting 4% of pay-per-view sales\u2026Then $5 million as soon as I step in the ring, and then a $1m knockout bonus.\u201d A base minimum of $5m, not including the 4% of PPV sales guaranteed, is absolutely ludicrous amounts of money, and even Adam was shocked at the crazy numbers. Besides that, we might not ever find out the exact figures in regards to PPV sales, so his exact payment from the fight will remain somewhat of a mystery. Bad Week: Jeffree Star involved in car accident The internet was shocked on April 17 after beauty guru and business owner Jeffree Star was involved in a turnover car accident in his Rolls Royce with friend Daniel. According to Jeffree\u2019s post, the car rolled over three times after hitting black ice. He later went onto reveal that he sustained multiple vertebrae fractures on his spine that were causing \u201cexcruciating pain.\u201d Jeffree did however confirm that he is expected to make a full recovery. But that wasn\u2019t all for Jeffree this week. The YouTuber was also accused of groping TikTok user Drake Cherry at a concert without his consent, and while he was underage. He alleged that Star walked up to him at a concert at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California \u2014 an all-ages venue \u2014 and \u201cgrabbed [his] a**.\u201d Drake explained in a later video that he didn\u2019t tell the story for clout, and though he was underage, he thought Jeffree most likely thought he was an adult, adding that he sees it as a \u201cfunny story.\u201d Good Week: Trisha Paytas credits TikTok for helping them come out as non-binary YouTube star and \u201cFrenemies\u201d podcast host Trisha Paytas has received ample support from their fanbase after coming out as nonbinary and genderfluid in an April 12 YouTube video. In the video, Paytas spoke about how grateful they are for their fiance, Moses Hacmon, who accepts their preferred pronouns \u201cbased on what I was feeling that day, that week, that hour.\u201d Read More: Are Charly Jordan and Logan Paul dating? – Paytas also credited platforms like TikTok and \u201cGen Z\u201d for helping them to understand their gender identity, claiming that nonbinary is \u201cthe perfect label for me.\u201d \u201cThis is what I\u2019ve been struggling with for so long, is for people to just accept that I\u2019m all genders and no genders at once,\u201d Paytas said. \u201cThe more I was researching nonbinary, I was like, \u2018This is the label. This is who I am.\u2019\u201d While Paytas has received some pushback for coming out as a trans man in the past, Paytas claims that this was all a part of their \u201ccoming out\u201d journey, crediting trans YouTuber GiGi Gorgeous for giving them courage and inspiring them to express their true identity. Good Week: Jake Paul beats Ben Askren in fight The fight between YouTuber Jake Paul and MMA fighter Ben Askren has been provoking a buzz online for weeks, and by the time April 17 came around, people were desperate to know who would come out on top out of the pair. Jake and Ben both seemed convinced that they would win, and they exchanged a decent amount of fighting talk in the lead-up to the big event. When April 17 finally came around, viewers waited with baited breath for the main Paul vs. Askren fight to start. But it was over almost as quickly as it began when Jake knocked out Ben in the first round. The win came as a surprise to many, who thought that the YouTube star had no chance against Ben Askren. However some have claimed that the fight was rigged, and even Askren himself said he felt the fight shouldn\u2019t have been stopped in the first round. Regardless, the win was certainly a satisfying moment for Jake, who has been pouring his efforts into training for months. Bad Week: Nessa Barrett & Jaden Hossler relationship drama It\u2019s safe to say that some of the biggest drama from the past week centered around a TikTok love quadrant, composed of stars Nessa Barrett, Josh Richards, Mads Lewis, and Jaden Hossler. Read More: Did Addison Rae cheat on Bryce Hall? – For those out of the loop, the drama truly started after Jaden Hossler appeared in a music video with Nessa Barrett, who was purportedly seeing Josh Richards at the time. However, it seems that Hossler and Nessa became an item shortly after the video went live, leaving their on-again, off-again partners Mads and Josh feeling a bit burnt. That\u2019s not all; after the issue went public, Lewis spilled all the tea regarding Nessa and Jaden in an episode of the \u2018Call Her Daddy\u2019 podcast, where she claimed Barrett was incredibly rude to her beforehand and had even asked Mads to take the fall for her when she was caught getting cozy with Chase Hudson before all the Jaden Hossler drama went down. Thus far, it seems like Barrett and Hossler aren\u2019t letting the backlash get them down, and are \u201cthe happiest\u201d they\u2019ve ever been \u2014 even though the entire internet isn\u2019t exactly on their side at the moment. The past week was full of ups and downs for different creators across the influencer world, but there\u2019s no doubt that the week to come will bring with it an entirely new set of drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
