ake Paul Announces New Career Venture Following Postponed Fight with Mike Tyson
Jake Paul has paused preparations for his rescheduled fight with Mike Tyson to announce the launch of his new deodorant line, as he aims to expand his business empire.
Initially set to face the heavyweight icon in Texas next month, Paul’s plans were derailed due to Tyson’s health issues, pushing the fight to November 15. During his training, Paul took a break to introduce his latest product, following his venture into the gambling industry with Betr in 2022. Sharing his excitement on social media, Paul said, “You know that feeling when you’re super anxious and excited all at once to announce something you’re proud of? That’s me right now. I’m super anxious because I’ve put my heart and soul into this mission to change men’s care products forever over the past two years.”
He continued to explain his motivation, “Two years ago, I went to the store to buy deodorant. I realized there was no modern solution made without unhealthy ingredients. I wanted something free from parabens, artificial dyes, endocrine disruptors, harsh sulfates, and with less silicone… but also something that really works. With no options available, I decided to create my own solution.”
Paul describes his brand as one for the bold and the winners: “This is a brand built for those who dare to be different, for the winners, for those who turn their Ls into Ws every day. This is not just a company, it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re a firefighter, valedictorian, or a high school star athlete, it’s all about the W. Oh, and we’ve added vitamins to the W to fuel your daily victories.”
“It turns out most young men are deficient in vitamin D and magnesium. Two extremely important vitamins. So now your skin (the largest organ in the human body) absorbs your vitamins daily, making you healthier with each use. This process hasn’t been easy, but I think we’ve created something you all will love. Now available at your local Walmart.”
The YouTuber also shared his personal struggle with sweating: “Sweating has been a long-time insecurity of mine. If you know me, you know I’m all about being clean. I always want to smell fresh, but training in Puerto Rico’s humid climate made that a real challenge.”
“I needed a product that could keep up with my lifestyle—something that smells great but isn’t loaded with junk ingredients and honestly, something that hasn’t been available since 2006. That’s why I founded W… to create products for men that boost their confidence and smell great, but also don’t cost $20 for a stick of deodorant.”
Paul’s new venture represents his commitment to innovation and quality in men’s care products, aiming to provide effective solutions that align with his active lifestyle and business ambitions.
Drake Appears on Snowd4y’s “Wah Gwan Delilah,” Fans React with Mixed Reviews
Last week, Snowd4y released a new track on Soundcloud featuring fellow Toronto native Drake, titled “Wah Gwan Delilah.”
“Wah Gwan Delilah,” consistent with Snowd4y’s reputation for satirical content, diverges from the summer vibes fans expected from Drake, especially following his high-profile hip-hop feud with Kendrick Lamar. This track marks Drake’s second release since the assumed end of the beef, following his feature on Sexxy Red’s “U My Everything.”
“Wah Gwan Delilah” is a Toronto-themed parody of “Hey There Delilah,” the debut hit by Plain White T’s. The band’s frontman, Tom Higgenson, posted a reaction video expressing disbelief that the vocals were genuinely Drake’s. His skepticism mirrored the sentiments of many on social media who assumed the song was a product of AI technology.
The faux Jamaican Patois-inspired performance sparked debates among listeners, dividing them into two camps: those disappointed and confused by Drake’s participation, and those who appreciated the humor in its creation.
Rob Markman, Head of Artist Relations at Genius, tweeted, “Are we sure this ain’t AI? Because fam.” Drake’s use of AI in music came under scrutiny after releasing a diss track against Kendrick Lamar, titled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which used AI-generated verses for Tupac and Snoop Dogg. Despite the skepticism, an endorsement from Drake’s Instagram story confirmed his support for “Wah Gwan Delilah.”
Some fans embraced the intended humor, seeing the track as a testament to Drake’s unbothered demeanor. However, others found his participation puzzling, given his career’s established standards and past responses to hip-hop conflicts.
In light of Drake’s previous confrontations, like the highly publicized fallout with Pusha T, where he countered with hits like “Nonstop,” “God’s Plan,” and “Mob Ties,” his recent playful releases seem to contrast sharply with his earlier strategic responses.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” premiered a month ago and has been dominating the charts. In contrast, Drake’s recent features on “U My Everything” and “Wah Gwan Delilah” seem less deliberate and more playful, leaving fans uncertain about his next move.
The collaboration on “Wah Gwan Delilah” achieved its goal of sparking conversation, but it remains unclear how Drake plans to navigate his career amidst rising criticism and changing industry dynamics. A summer hit could potentially redefine his trajectory, but the question remains: does Drake know what that hit sounds like, and is he ready to deliver it?
