YouTuber Jake Paul recently came under fire for appearing to leak the news that Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury's first child had been born. The American social media personality and boxer, 26, apologised for seemingly letting slip the news of the birth on Friday.
Jake, who is set to take on rival Tommy in the ring in Saudi Arabia on February 26, caused a commotion when he tweeted: "Tommy has no excuses now - Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue."
He later addressed his message, telling Sport Bible: "Did I do that? I leaked it? Oh s***. My bad. I’m sorry, Tommy. But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone the gender or anything like that." He added: "Yeah. It’s a bit bizarre. Two of his biggest life moments in a very short time period here.

"I was telling my friends: I don’t know how he’s mentally going to be able to deal with that. If I had a kid, I wouldn’t want to be showing up at the gym, so I think it’s going to be a distraction for him."
Jake has now come under fire after fans spotted the comment "just in time to watch your dad get knocked out" under the messages of congratultions as Love Island star Molly-Mae announced the arrival of their newborn on Instagram. She revealed that their daughter Bambi arrived into the world on Monday January 23 as she shared the joyous news with the first pictures yesterday (Monday January 30).
thomas.__.carter commented about the message, which has since been deleted: "Honestly disgusting comment imo." And they added: "It’s just extremely unnecessary." @aliceg0706 said as the message was shared on Twitter: "No matter your opinion on the whole Jake Paul and Tommy Fury situ, it’s just morally wrong to a) announce the birth of someone else’s baby and b) comment on their announcement post with such an inappropriate comment." And @mymidnightdress said: "Jake Paul is actually vile for this comment."
Tommy previously said about the fight in a statement: "Jake Paul’s boxing career ends on February 26th and I can finally move on with mine. Every time I go out right now, everybody asks me about the Jake Paul fight.
"After this fight is done, everybody will be asking me how it felt to knock Jake Paul out. The world is about to see what happens when a proper boxer faces a YouTuber."
