Background and lyrics

On October 3, 2017, iDubbbz released an episode of the viral Internet series "Content Cop", titled "Content Cop – Jake Paul". While the title seemingly expresses that the video would be based on YouTube personality and former Disney actor Jake Paul, the video is actually about fellow YouTube personality RiceGum. In the 30-minute video, iDubbbz critiques RiceGum for many controversial comments and actions he had made in the past on his livestreams, and in videos that iDubbbz deemed were worthy of criticism. At the end of the video, a song by iDubbbz and fellow YouTube personality Boyinaband was played, titled "Asian Jake Paul". The song's lyrics contain verses in which the two YouTube personalities mock RiceGum, by referencing many of his previous controversies and by calling him dumb, talentless, a "borderline sex offender" and other insults. Boyinaband also filmed a video on his YouTube channel showing the production process. The same day, iDubbbz uploaded the song's music video on his other YouTube channel, iDubbbzTV2.[6]
