KSI takes a dig at Liverpool supporter Jake Paul
Soccer fans consider Liverpool among the elites. However, the ongoing session hasn’t been what Liverpool would have expected. “The Reds” have played six matches in the English Premier League but only bagged two victories. They also played their first UEFA Champions League match against Napoli yesterday, which turned out to be a disaster, as Liverpool lost 4-1 to Napoli.

The poor performance from Liverpool has attracted many eyes, including JJ Olatunji. The Englishman tweeted, “Liverpool have been terrible ever since Jake Paul started supporting them.” The younger Paul brother is a sports enthusiast, attending UFC, boxing, and NBA matches. But a few months ago, Jake claimed to be a Liverpool fan and loves their ace, Mohamed Salah.

Meanwhile, KSI is a life-long supporter of the London-based soccer club Arsenal. Now he is also the official hydration drink supplier for “The Gunners”. Further, Jake Paul’s older brother is possibly a Gunner, too, as he co-owns Prime with KSI.
What was Twitter’s reaction to KSI’s tweet on Liverpool?
Fans showcased a mixed reaction to KSI’s tweet about Liverpool performing poorly since Jake Paul announced himself as a fan of the English soccer club. A Liverpool fan got mad at Olatunji and asked him not to connect the glorious Liverpool to Jake. Meanwhile, some fans also agreed with the English rapper. Let’s look at some of the reactions from fans.
