So\u2026 What\u2019s brewing? Jake Paul quits his YouTube vlogs Who\u2019s involved? Jake Paul is a popular \u2014 if somewhat divisive \u2014 face on YouTube, having catapulted to fame on the platform for his ridiculous antics like setting his pool on fire and standing on top of a news van\u2026 as well as being investigated by the FBI. What\u2019s the tea? Despise the controversy surrounding the youngest Paul brother, he\u2019s managed to find success in all manner of industries, with his songs playing on the radio and even snagging a professional boxing license. However, it looks like the Team 10 founder is putting his days as a YouTuber behind him, claiming that he\u2019s going to focus on his boxing and musical careers, instead. (Topic starts at 0:20) \u201cI\u2019m not a YouTuber anymore, I f**king suck at it, honestly I don\u2019t put effort into it,\u201d Jake Paul admitted in a September 23 video. \u201cI\u2019m a boxer and I make music now, and training takes up so much time, and then I\u2019m just tired, and I get hit in the head so much that I can\u2019t even think of anything creative.\u201d While we\u2019re not sure if the headshots are completely responsible for Jake\u2019s questionable YouTube content, it seems that he\u2019s finally making good on the \u201cnot a YouTuber\u201d quip he\u2019s been throwing around since November 2019. Griffin Johnson takes down Dixie D\u2019Amelio diss track Who\u2019s involved? TikTok stars Griffin Johnson and Dixie D\u2019Amelio were once thick as thieves \u2014 but after some accusations of infidelity toward Griffin came to light in July, the two have since parted ways, and not everything is amicable between them. What\u2019s the tea? While Johnson appeared to make light of the situation at first, some not-so-subtle shade from his ex-girlfriend prompted him to create an apology post. However, after Dixie seemed to get close to fellow TikTokker Noah Beck, Griffin popped off in a diss track that appeared to accuse Noah of breaking bro code and Dixie of being cold-hearted. It wasn\u2019t long before Johnson ended up removing his diss track from Spotify, though, causing fans to scratch their heads in confusion. His reason for deleting the song? Dixie exposed his previously supposed infidelity with the \u201c48 screenshots\u201d she\u2019d threatened him with beforehand in a TikTok duet \u2014 even revealing his text message \u201capology\u201d to her for cheating. It doesn\u2019t seem that Griffin and Noah are on bad terms though, as the dudes were spotted working out together shortly thereafter. All\u2019s well that ends well, right? Taio Cruz gets bullied off of TikTok Who\u2019s involved? The music artist behind 2009 hit \u2018Dynamite\u2019 has officially quit TikTok after only spending one week on the platform, claiming that he suffered from extreme harassment during his short time with the app. What\u2019s the tea? In a now-deleted TikTok post, Cruz claimed that he was leaving the app for good, explaining that \u201cnever in my life have I had a more negative experience than the past few days on here.\u201d Cruz went on to further clarify his reasons for leaving in a similarly deleted Instagram post \u2014 a platform he has also removed all of his posts from \u2014 claiming that he\u2019d even felt suicidal due to the sheer amount of harassment and bullying he\u2019d received on TikTok. \u201cMy body was shaking and I had suicidal thoughts,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI pride myself on being mentally resilient, so the fact that I was feeling that way shocked even me. Some users posted hateful, mocking videos which spurred a feedback loop of negativity, where more and more people began to join in on the mockery and hate.\u201d Closing his post by claiming that \u201csocial media shouldn\u2019t be like this,\u201d many fans came out in support of Cruz \u2014 even Dixie D\u2019Amelio, who hit back at trolls for treating a music industry giant in such a terrible way. y\u2019all bullied a legit music artist (which is know for being one of the harshest industries) off tiktok in under a week\u2026WHAT??? just be nice wtf \u2014 dixie (@dixiedamelio) September 23, 2020 Khloe Kardashian slams hate over friendship with Addison Rae Who\u2019s involved? A-list celeb Khloe Kardashian and TikTok star Addison Rae have sparked an unlikely \u2014 and unusual \u2014 friendship, with the two growing rather close after their tag-team Zoom workout earlier this year. What\u2019s the tea? It seems that some viewers aren\u2019t super jazzed about their relationship, though, with some calling the whole situation \u201ccreepy\u201d after the two posted some sultry, bikini-clad pics together on Instagram. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CEZqUAtJrez\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Considering the 22-year age gap between the two women, it doesn\u2019t come as a huge shock that some fans are finding their friendship a bit odd \u2014 but Khloe isn\u2019t here for any of the speculation. The Kardashian hit back at haters in a reply to an Instagram comment between two users, one of which read, \u201cShe\u2019s 41 and she\u2019s hanging out with 19-year-olds in swimming pools.\u201d \u201cDo you suggest a better place?\u201d she shot back. \u201cI\u2019m looking for ideas\u2026\u201d As Addison Rae has also hit back at her haters for spreading rumors about her online, it\u2019s safe to say that these two ladies have had it with the drama, and they\u2019re not going to take the harassment lying down. Pokimane gets upset after \u201cAmong Us\u201d dispute with xQc Who\u2019s involved? Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is a huge name in the Twitch streaming world \u2014 as is Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel, with both broadcasters boasting a fairly massive fanbase. What\u2019s the tea? During a game of the uber-popular title \u201cAmong Us\u201d with xQc, Poki got a bit frustrated, having not been given enough time to defend herself in the conversation and immediately getting ejected due to suspicion from her fellow players. \u201cThat was such a last-second Andy s**t and of course, if it\u2019s xQc, we must all listen.\u201d she argued. \u201cLiterally, imagine we have three seconds to plead your case and then just boom you\u2019re dead. Not going to lie, that makes the lobby not the most enjoyable.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time someone has complained about playing the game with xQc, by far, although Poki\u2019s complaints did stir up quite a bit of drama in the Twitch community \u2014 as well as some speculation as to whether a last-minute argument on the suspected party\u2019s part is a viable strategy for surviving in the game. Online harassment has become so bad that one of the music industry\u2019s biggest giants quit TikTok, and Jake Paul actually might quit YouTube \u2013 it really does seem like anything can happen, these days. What do you think of Taio Cruz\u2019s situation? Is online bullying getting out of hand? Is the friendship between Kourtney Kardashian and Addison Rae really something to be concerned about?
