Jake Paul agreed to pay rapper $1million for planned Tommy Fury ring walk

Rapper Lil Durk claims he was going to be paid $1million to walk Jake Paul to the ring for his seemingly doomed fight with Tommy Fury.

It is looking increasingly likely that Paul and Fury will once again have to cancel their upcoming fight, which was scheduled for August 6. And the YouTube star was planning to pull out all the stops for his first time headlining at one of boxing's most historic arenas; Madison Square Garden, including a live musical performance.

Lil Durk, the multi-platinum rapper behind hits such as 'What Happened To Virgil' and 'AHHH HA', expressed his disappointment on social media with the news of the supposed cancellation. He claims that he was scheduled to pocket a seven-figure sum to be involved in Pauk's ring walk.
