Like them or hate them – you must admit that there are a lot of similarities between former Vine star Jake Paul and current rising TikTok star Taylor Holder.
Remember Jake Paul?
Jake Paul rose to fame back during the Vine era. In less than a few years, Paul gained more than 5.3 million followers and 2 billion views on his profile. He also played the character of Dirk in Disney’s comedy series Bizaardvark for 2 years. After Vine’s shutdown, a range of personal controversies and some significant lawsuits, Paul then decided to focus strongly on his YouTube channel. Currently, he has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube. In 2019, he also made his professional boxing debut with a match against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib.
So who is Taylor Holder?
Much like Jake Paul, Taylor Holder shares the same rise to fame as the former – through online success, albeit TikTok. He has over 12 million followers and posts regularly about hanging out with his friends and motor cross racing across all his channels. His musical ambitions (much like the Disney star) led him to launch multiple singles in 2017. He currently owns and hosts an e-commerce merchandise platform. His net worth is estimated to be just under $1 million.
What is he doing now?
Similar to Jake Paul, Holder can be seen going down the boxing path. In one of the funniest internet beefs ever, Holder challenged his fellow TikTok star FaZe Adapt to get into the ring with him. However, like most internet drama, their feud started and ended within a few hours on Instagram.
Holder was also seen setting up a friendly impromptu boxing fight with Jake Paul earlier today, through his Instagram stories. The two were joined by a host of friends for a fun, hardcore gym session. Will they both end up being rivals in the ring and allies online? Only time will tell.
