Controversial SoundCloud rapper ‘Kid Buu’ went live on SnapChat on November 26, claiming that he’d stolen popular YouTuber Jake Paul’s diamond-encrusted ‘Team 10’ chain.
The SnapChat in question featured Buu wearing a white hoodie, holding up what appeared to be Paul’s chain in front of the camera. Buu posted the video just ahead of another SnapChat, which read, “Fuck Jake Paul.”
In the video, Buu claimed that he had “snatched” Paul’s chain, bragging that he could turn a sizeable profit from selling the necklace.
“Aye, fuck Jake Paul, I got that *** chain, bruh,” Buu boasted. “I snatched that *** shit. …this shit has a bounty on it. …I can get a lot of money from this ***, bro.”
However, Paul has since claimed that the chain isn’t actually his, as revealed in a statement following the debacle.
