YouTube star Jake Paul parties maskless on a yacht in Miami Beach amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic

He recently turned 24 years old, and has been quoted as saying his thinks the coronavirus ‘disease is a hoax.’

YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul was seen Sunday off the coast of Miami Beach, Florida on a crowded yacht.

The tattooed, 6ft blonde was shirtless, wearing blue swim trunks. 

He was seen on both the upper and lower decks of a boat named Belladonna, mixing and mingling with other revelers. 

The group was flouting social distancing rules, with partiers gathered in clusters both on the boat and on rafts in the water.

Not one face mask was in sight as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage across the country.

Study upon study have been released explaining that if face masks and social distancing are not adhered to, the virus will continue to persist at alarmingly high levels for a lot longer in spite of the recent development of vaccines.

Regardless of this, Paul has expressed incredulity when it comes to the virus’s legitimacy.

Late last year, the controversial online star first claimed the coronavirus was ‘a hoax’ before attempting to backpedal on his comments.

He had previously stated that he would not stop partying despite the pandemic, after he was criticized for throwing a large, maskless party in his Calabasas home last July.

More recently, Jake has decided to but that $6.9 million home on the market, as he is planning to relocate permanently to Florida to focus on his boxing career.

Paul rose to fame on the now-defunct app Vine and is known for posting reckless and adventurous videos on YouTube.
