Jake Paul has broken his silence over the AI videos depicting him after they went viral in the last week,

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been the subject of multiple AI-generated videos which have been doing the rounds on social media in recent days.

These clips, which were created on the Sora app, depict Paul in various scenarios including several where he is a beauty influencer.

The app allows its users to create ten second clips from simple text prompts and they look pretty realistic.

Now, Paul has spoken out over the AI clips, posting his response to it in a video on TikTok.

Speaking out, he said: “I’ve had it with the AI stuff. It’s affecting my relationships, businesses. People are hitting me up saying like, ‘yo, did you say this? What did you do this for? Uh, this was you? I can’t believe you did this’.

“It’s really affecting things, and honestly, it’s like, people need to get a life, so it’s kind of pissing me off.

“I’m gonna be suing everybody that is continuing to spread these false narratives of me doing s*** that I would literally never, ever do. So be ready for lawsuits.”

During the clip, Paul proceeded to talk while applying foundation to his face with a beauty blender, which is similar to some of the AI videos created of him.

So, it seems like the YouTuber is taking the viral moment in good spirits, even poking fun of himself in the process.

Many viewers took to the TikTok comment section to share their own reactions to Paul’s video, with one user writing: “Low-key best response you could have given.”

Another said: “Jake Paul being funny again is a recession indicator.”

A third person commented: “I want to be AI jake paul for halloween.”

And a fourth added: “Ah respect, least he is having a laugh about it unlike HS.”

Responding to the videos, which showed Sullivan wearing makeup and coming out as a gay sparking a negative reaction from the creator.

Speaking about the videos in a live stream, Sullivan said: “I just want to let you know, I’m not happy with them, especially the ones that make me out to be zesty, the ones that make me out to be doing makeup.”

In other news, Sullivan was arrested last Friday (October 10) following a year-long manhunt after he failed to appear at court for dangerous driving last year.
