The 24-year-old social media star, who appears to have relocated to Miami, told fans that he was leaving LA behind in order to focus on becoming the "biggest prize fighter in the world."
He explained that training in LA wasn't possible for him because of all the parties and distractions, admitting that he is someone who is "attracted to that chaos."
"Being in Los Angeles, there's so many distractions, there's so much going on, and it doesn't really allow me to focus on training... In Los Angeles, you guys know has all the parties, all the madness, and it’s too much to be around because I’m the type of guy whose attracted to that chaos. And for me, if I want to be one of the top prize fighters in the world, which is my goal, then being here just isn’t the move," Jake explained.
But despite his efforts to put his partying days behind him, Jake was spotted at several bashes over the past week — including his 24th birthday party.
Jake was joined by a large group of friends, including ex-girlfriend Erika Costell, his boxing coach, and his mom, at what appeared to be a Miami restaurant.
*COVID PARTY ALERT* Jake Paul throws himself a birthday party to celebrate turning 24. Jake recently moved to Miami claiming there were too many parties and distractions in Los Angeles.
In Instagram stories from attendees, the mostly maskless group were treated to a lavish dinner in a private room before celebrating with multiple birthday cakes.
During the evening, Jake was given extravagant gifts, including a Cartier bracelet and a custom cake to match his Rolex watch:
Many fans were disappointed to hear about the party — particularly those who have had to stay home for their own birthdays because of the pandemic:
But others came to Jake's defense, explaining that the party followed local guidelines and all attendees were either his staff or family:
Jake didn't confirm the party's COVID safety precautions but Miami does have more relaxed guidelines than other areas of the US and currently allows restaurants to operate at full capacity.

While Jake's event may have followed guidelines, a mansion party that he reportedly attended later in the weekend definitely seemed to have a more questionable take on safety protocol:
Jake didn't post about the event himself, but videos shared by other attendees revealed it was a birthday celebration for Electric Feel Entertainment founder Austin Rosen that featured performances from Lil Baby, 24kGoldn and Gucci Mane:
