Famous YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul released a hilarious video Monday denying allegations he’d done cocaine.

Paul hit back at critics with sarcasm and humor. Those accusing him had fixated on one small move he made in a video after his older brother Logan’s win over Dillon Danis in Manchester. The video briefly shows Paul touching his nose while standing behind his brother, and that triggered a slew of allegations surrounding drug use and assumptions he was snorting cocaine.

The 26-year old took the time to film a comedic skit in which he acted as though he was high on drugs by twitching and acting jittery. The video shows him aggressively tossing white powder in the air, acting as though he has a mountain of cocaine in front of him.

The camera then pans the room and captures bottles of Coca Cola scattered all over the floor in what appears to be a hotel room. Paul pokes fun at the claims by staring right into the camera and saying, “Y’all want some Coke?”

He proceeds to “pressure” his friends into having some Coke and can be seen tossing them bottles of the beverage to enjoy.

Paul goes on to deny the rumors and explain the nose-rubbing action to his fans. He pushes his face right up close to the camera, making the beads of sweat on his face visible, then tells fans he was simply wiping sweat off his face during the moment that was mistaken for a coke-sniff.

“I come out, everyone knows I’m the most sweatiest person in the world,” he says.

The star then describes the moment in more depth to get his point across. (RELATED: Jake Paul Says He Did Psychedelic Drug Ayahuasca With Aaron Rodgers)

“So I get into the ring to like, go be there for my brother and shit, and I put my hat on and I’m literally sweating down my face, so I’m just like this, trying to get the sweat off of my fucking face.”
