Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill appears to have started a new social media beef after disrespecting boxer Jake Paul during the inaugural episode of the Fully Tilted podcast with Bob Menery.
“That’s why I want to meet Dana White, I want to get in the cage,” Hill told Menery at the time. “It’s either I want to get in the cage, or I want to box.”
When asked who he’d challenge in his first fight, Hill suggested Paul — which seemed to surprise the host. “Is he as tough as he looks?” Menery eventually questioned, to which the football player replied: “I don’t think so, bro.” Hill added that he “grew up boxing” and has “hands” in a fight.
Despite that interview occurring weeks ago on February 7, Paul finally took to social media to respond on February 26.
All these guys yap yap yap.
Tyreek – you would get mauled in the ring by me. Lion kills a cheetah every time in a small space. No where to run. Come on brother.
Neeraj – brave for coming to PR all the way from India. But you too small brother. 1 hand is all I need.
Tommy -…
“All these guys yap yap yap,” Paul voiced, lumping Hill into a post with two others.
“Tyreek – you would get mauled in the ring by me,” the fighter went on, addressing Hill directly. “Lion kills a cheetah every time in a small space. No where to run. Come on brother.”
Within the hour, Hill clapped back at Paul, noting that “your mouth gone get you in trouble.”
As of February 26, at 1:30 p.m. EST, that’s where the conversation ended.
Tyreek Hill Opens Up on Keeta Vaccaro Divorce Rumors
Back on January 23, a Sun Sentinel report emerged claiming that Hill and his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, had filed for a divorce after a brief marriage that began in November. Court records from Broward County were cited as proof of the split.
Before long, Hill took to social media to refute this claim alongside Vaccaro. Together, the pair voiced that they were still “happily married,” although there was no real explanation for the court filing.
To his credit, Menery addressed this right off the bat on the podcast spot with Hill.
“So, are you good?” The host began, working his way to the question. “I want to make sure… I don’t want to get in your personal life here [but] what is going on with — can I be direct? We’re not going to get into it but are you getting a divorce, or how does that work?”
“Nah,” Hill repeated a few times before noting that “me and wifey are okay.”
The superstar WR went on to explain that he and Vaccaro “kind of went through a little rough patch,” seemingly confirming that there was more to this divorce situation than he initially admitted. “Life is ups and downs but we were able to work out our differences and come together as a team,” Hill stated candidly, calling Vaccaro the “quarterback” of their family.
He also reiterated that he and his wife are “not getting a divorce,” relaying that they “worked everything out and [the relationship] fixed itself.”
Former Tyreek Hill Teammate Patrick Mahomes Is Partnered With Logan Paul
Back to a potential Hill-Paul boxing match — there’s an odd link between the two parties, being that Jake Paul’s brother Logan Paul is now partnered with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II.
Obviously, Hill made a name for himself at the NFL level with Mahomes and the Chiefs, while Logan Paul signed the former MVP QB as a brand partner for his sports drink company on December 18, 2023. PRIME Hydration announced said endorsement deal with Mahomes on social media at the time.
The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ both released Mahomes’ official statement on his endorsement deal with PRIME Hydration on December 18.
“PRIME is a disruptive brand that has taken over the beverage industry since it first launched,” the Chiefs QB declared in his statement. “They are gamechangers, and that’s exactly what I strive to be on the field. Our partnership is a winning play, merging innovation and excellence, setting a new standard both on and off the field.”
Perhaps, Mahomes and Logan Paul can help broker a truce between Hill and Jake.
