Jake Paul Deletes Ryan Garcia ‘Face of White Powder’ Claim

Jake Paul has deleted a social media post that branded WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia the "face of white powder." Paul's promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), also removed its own post that had amplified the comment. The exchange began after Paul intervened in an escalating war of words between Garcia and Terence Crawford, where Garcia had challenged Crawford to a fight.

There is reportedly no evidence to support the implication made in Paul's deleted remark. The deletion is notable given Paul's history with defamation litigation, having previously settled an out-of-court lawsuit with Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn in March 2025 over allegations regarding a boxing judge.
