Jake Paul has responded to a light-hearted jab made by Olivia Rodrigo during her Saturday Night Live monologue, in which she compared their career paths. The singer, who co-starred with Paul on the Disney Channel show Bizaardvark, joked about how both had achieved their childhood dreams.
During her monologue, Rodrigo recalled: 'When I was 13, I was on a Disney show called Bizaardvark. We had an incredible cast, which included acting legend Jake Paul. We’d always talk about our futures, me and Jake. I’d say, “I really want to create music that explores the complexities of girls my age.” And he’d say, “Well, one day I really want to beat up old guys on Netflix.” And we both did it! Hurray!'
Paul took to social media to respond, writing that they both 'had the vision' and 'i told you that you would sell stadiums out and then we both did.' He added, 'proud of you fr.' The former Vine star also reposted his tweet on Instagram set to Rodrigo's hit 'drivers license.'
When a commenter suggested Rodrigo was laughing 'at him and not with him,' Paul took it in stride, saying: 'I got that she was making a joke at my expense. So what. She’s on SNL and that’s what they are supposed to do. Doesn’t change my admiration of her and her success.' He also posted a throwback picture of the two on the set of Bizaardvark, captioned 'Ah the good ole days.'
Rodrigo's SNL appearance marked her hosting debut and third time performing on the show, having previously been a musical guest in 2021 and 2023. Paul's mature response drew praise from many online, with one commenter noting: 'This is the most adult thing Paul has ever done.'
