Dallas breakout artist 4Batz added another headline to his fast-rising profile after calling out Jake Paul during an October 31-released interview with YouTuber Brandon Buckingham.
The moment unfolded as the two walked through Highland Hills, the neighborhood where 4Batz grew up, giving the rapper space to tap into equal parts hometown pride and hip-hop bravado. In mentioning The Problem Child at the 4:14 mark, 4Batz declared, “I will beat the f*ck out of Jake Paul — on five, on five,” a line that instantly pushed the conversation from casual talk to full-blown challenge.
The exchange unfolded with the ease of friends cracking jokes, but it carried the unmistakable tone of a rapper stepping into the spotlight with intention. Runcho Da Youngan, one of 4Batz’s close friends, jumped in with, “He called out Jake Paul,” which helped frame the moment as a mix of humor and ambition.
Still, 4Batz leaned into the seriousness behind the claim, telling Buckingham, “I feel like I’d be in boxing, for sure,” and later adding, “We can make this shit happen.”
4Batz Challenges Jake Paul To A Boxing Match
What set the callout apart was his reasoning. For 4Batz, the challenge wasn’t only about clout. He said Paul “fought my fuckin idol in my city,” referring to boxing icon Iron Mike Tyson, which frames the moment as a matter of respect. That sense of territorial loyalty plays well with fans who see him as one of Dallas’ most authentic new voices.
4Batz also acknowledged the financial gap that shapes these crossover bouts, laughing as he admitted Paul could throw “like 10 ($10 million)” at a fight — money he doesn’t have — but still refused to back down, reinforcing, “I used to box — for real.”
The comment adds texture to the challenge, suggesting he sees himself as more than a rapper, taking a playful swing at a viral storyline. 4Batz joins other recording artists, like Blueface, who are open to boxing Paul on Netflix. Paul’s scheduled exhibition fight with Gervonta “Tank” Davis was called off last week, following Davis’ latest lawsuit.
4Batz taps directly into that cultural shift. His comments toe the line between hype and sincerity. It’s the kind of moment that fuels social media, sparks speculation, and expands his profile beyond music.
Whether Jake Paul bites remains to be seen. The energy delivered by 4Batz made one thing clear: don’t let the heartbreak songs fool you.
