Kamaru Usman's manager believes Jake Paul 'dug his own grave' by tweeting photo of the Nigerian Nightmare's daughter
Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has chimed in on the ongoing war of words between the UFC Welterweight Champion and YouTube megastar Jake Paul.
Abdelaziz believes Jake Paul ‘dug his own grave’ by tweeting a photo of The Nigerian Nightmare’s daughter.
Kamaru Usman recently took a shot at Jake Paul for being a Disney star. In response, Paul tweeted a photo of Usman at Disneyland along with his daughter Samirah.
Usman took offense to this and seemingly suggested that Paul’s tweet was a personal attack against him and his family.
The Nigerian Nightmare then proceeded to warn Jake Paul by responding to the Disneyland photo tweeted by The Problem Child.
"I understand you think this is a game which is probably why you don’t realize that this is how people Truly get hurt. I don’t play fighting and I can change your life in the worst way," said Kamaru Usman.
Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has now responded to Usman’s tweet and doubled down on the warning to Paul.
“Certain things in life off limits , when you cross them you must be punished and I believe you drugged your own grave Jake Paul is only matter of time my friend,” said Abdelaziz.
The MMA community has been divided in its opinion with regard to whether or not the photo tweeted by Jake Paul was a personal attack against Kamaru Usman and his family.
On one hand, there are those who opine that Paul simply highlighted the fact that Usman is no stranger to Disney.
However, Jake Paul’s critics claim that he tweeted the Disneyland photo as a way of escalating his feud with the UFC Welterweight Champion to a personal level.
