Olivia Rodrigo Makes Diss At Former Costar Jake Paul in SNL Monologue

Singer Olivia Rodrigo made a reference to boxer Jake Paul during her opening monologue while hosting Saturday Night Live.


(PLGNN) - Actress/Singer Olivia Rodrigo hosted the famous Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedy show this Saturday, exciting fans around the world.

During her opening monologue, she said "When I was 13, I was on a Disney show called ‘Bizaardvark’. We had an incredible cast, which included 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!"

This is most likely a reference to Jake Paul's November 2024 boxing match against Mike Tyson, where Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision. All three judges scored the eight-round bout in favor of Paul (80-72, 79-73, 79-73).

Jake Paul and Olivia Rodrigo were in one and a half seasons of Bizaardvark together, before Paul was fired by Disney in July 2017. He was deemed unfit for Disney's family-friendly brand, and his increasly disruptive online antics and many complaints from West Hollywood neighbors resulted in him getting let go from the show.

Following their time on the show, Olivia Rodrigo began releasing music, and Jake Paul, who had previously been doing YouTube vlogging, became a professional boxer, known as "El Gallo Dorado". He has a 12–2–0 (7 KOs) record.

After Rodrigo's SNL diss, Jake Paul tweeted out, "We had the vision, i told you that you would sell stadiums out and then we both did, proud of you fr"

One X user responded, saying, "I think he didn't get that she laughed at him and not with him," to which Paul responded, "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."

Paul also posted to his Instagram story a throwback photo of him and Rodrigo on the set of Bizaardvark, captioned "Ah the good ole days".


While not much is known about the friendship between Paul and Rodrigo, Paul has repeatedly voiced how proud he is of Rodrigo.

Paul has been an extremely controversial figure in recent years, especially regarding his relationship with President Donald Trump. Paul was invited on stage at different Trump rallies, and was invited to Trump's Presidential Innauguration. 

In January, Paul was seen in President Trump's suite at the College Football National Championship in Miami, Florida, which saw the Indiana Hoosiers beat the Miami Hurricanes 27-21.

However, Paul recently suggested Trump and his son fight on the frontlines regarding the conflict in Iran, so it appears there may be some cracks in their relationship.

Many fans presume Olivia Rodrigo's lack of comments on Jake Paul come from trying to avoid upsetting her fanbase over their conflicting political opinions.
