“The Black Lives Matter movement is NOT an opportunity for you to film a YouTube video and post it for revenue,” another angry tweeter wrote.
Followers of Jake Paul have criticised the YouTube star after he denied looting during a protest – despite being spotted in footage of a shopping mall being vandalised.
Black Lives Matter’s contingent in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, released a statement saying it was not a part of the events.
Paul’s statement came as protests took part in numerous US cities following the death of George Floyd.
