Jake Paul pulls a Justin Bieber, says he's ‘standing on business' after Chavez Jr win
Jake Paul isn't just celebrating another win - he's making a statement, and borrowing a viral line from Justin Bieber to do it. Fresh off his victory over Julio César Chávez Jr, the 28-year-old boxer shared a short clip from his private jet on his Instagram Stories.
In the video, Paul looks into the camera and says, 'I'm f***ing always standing on business. It's not clocking to you.' The comment was a direct nod to Bieber's now-famous encounter with paparazzi outside a restaurant in Malibu.
According to TMZ, Bieber told photographers earlier this month, 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?' That phrase, delivered with serious frustration, instantly went viral. Memes, remixes, and re-edits flooded social media, and Bieber later leaned into the moment by sharing playful edits to his own Instagram.
Paul clearly saw an opportunity to ride that wave - but unlike Bieber's spontaneous outburst, this one was calculated.
While the tone of Jake Paul's clip might seem lighthearted, the message underneath wasn't. The social media star-turned-fighter used it to take aim at people still questioning the legitimacy of his boxing career. And he didn't mince words. British broadcaster Piers Morgan recently implied that Paul's fights were staged, a claim that didn't sit well with the boxer or his team. Paul's manager, Nakisa Bidarian, publicly fired back, calling the accusations 'baseless and irresponsible,' informs TMZ.
Jake Paul took things even further. In the same post, he made it clear that he's ready to go after anyone spreading false claims about his fights. 'I've asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career,' he said.
It wasn't just a viral moment - it was a calculated clapback, broadcast from a place of victory and power.
Justin Bieber's video was born out of visible frustration with paparazzi. Paul's was born out of strategy - and possibly a little trolling. But both clips struck a chord, and 'standing on business' has quickly become a cultural catchphrase.
Paul's version of the phrase comes after years of trying to prove himself in the boxing world. With every new fight, he draws more eyes - and more criticism. But rather than shy away from it, he's turning the spotlight back on the doubters.
Paul quoted Justin Bieber's viral 'standing on business' line to make a statement about critics doubting his boxing career.
Piers Morgan suggested Jake Paul's fights might be staged, which the wrestler's team strongly denied as 'baseless.'
Paul warned that he plans to take legal action against anyone spreading false claims about his career.

EXCLUSIVE: Aadhya Anand Defends Co-Star Babil Khan, Says "People Are Quick to Judge Vulnerability"
In an era where mental health awareness is finally gaining mainstream traction, actor Aadhya Anand believes we still have a long way to go when it comes to truly accepting emotional openness; especially on social media. In an exclusive conversation with The Hans India, Aadhya opened up about her Friday Night Plan co-star Babil Khan, known not just for his on-screen talent but also for his candid emotional posts that often reveal his vulnerabilities. When asked whether society is still quick to judge those who express their feelings publicly, even while claiming to support mental health, Aadhya offered a heartfelt response. 'I feel people are very quick to judge,' she said. 'In fact, when it comes to Babil, I've seen a couple of comments saying he's over-acting or doing too much. But people don't know who he really is because when he was with me, and this is even before the paparazzi sightings, he was exactly like that. Overgiving, warm, sweet and that kind of quality is so rare. You don't find that in every one.' Aadhya went on to highlight how social media often fails to capture a person's real essence, and instead, turns emotional transparency into a target for criticism. 'People started giving him backlash that he really didn't deserve. No one really knows what's going on inside someone, or who they really are from inside. It becomes very easy to become the victim of scrutinization,' she added. Her words offer a much-needed reminder about empathy in the digital age, particularly for public figures who choose to share their inner world in an effort to normalize honest conversations around mental health. For the unversed, Babil Khan, son of the late actor Irrfan Khan, had recently faced media scrutiny following a viral video where he appeared to call out Bollywood celebrities. The video, which was later deleted and followed by the deactivation of his Instagram account. He later returned to social media and clarified that his video was misinterpreted and slammed netizens for spreading the false narrative. He further expressed that he was having a bad day.

David and Victoria Beckham have never been shy about inviting followers into their private sanctuaries. Whether it's David unearthing a two-pronged carrot on their Cotswolds estate or Victoria capturing the family's pancake party in Holland Park, each Instagram upload offers a fresh perspective on how the power couple balances everyday joys with high-end design. Their portfolio spans centuries-old barns, sculptural penthouses, and sun-soaked villas. Today, we explore three of their most Instagrammed homes and uncover the stories behind each gilded wall. Cotswolds countryside retreat For 12 million euros, the Beckhams transformed a 1720 barn into a fairytale escape, complete with a bespoke treehouse, spa, and private football pitch, as detailed by House & Garden. In late April 2025, David's 'Radish Alert' post on Instagram revealed his garden within the estate, where he harvested some radishes for dinner. On June 21, Victoria also filmed David excitedly harvesting carrots from his garden for the first time, though it was 'not quite what he was hoping for.' As he pulled out the double-ended carrot in the clip, the duo erupted in giggles, proving that laughter grows best in home soil. Holland Park heritage mansion As per Elle Décor, their 49.2 million euro Holland Park residence underwent three years of renovations under Rose Uniacke. This yielded a Grade II-listed masterpiece with a walk-in wardrobe fit for a fashion icon and his family. On March 4, 2025, David flipped pancakes in the vast open kitchen, as Harper teased her father with 'You ruin my pancake?' The quip was met with a lighthearted 'Ruined it? That's perfect!' as he plated the dish. Miami Modern penthouse As co-owner of Inter Miami CF, David's 2020 acquisition of a 24 million USD penthouse in Zaha Hadid's One Hundred Museum brought the family to Florida. In a December 2024 clip, Santa-hatted Beckham ceremoniously carved a Christmas turkey, captioning it 'Traditional cutting of the turkey that mum's been cooking all day,' merging the festive tradition with skyline views. Meanwhile, Cruz's December 24 veranda snapshot truly captured the estate's modern and sunny charm, per his Instagram feed. The Beckham Empire's other houses Including these three jewels, the Beckhams have inhabited a total of 11 properties, from their first Cheshire flat and the legendary 'Beckingham Palace' to a Dubai villa on Palm Jumeirah, a French Riviera mansion, a Spanish La Moraleja sanctuary, a Beverly Hills Italianate estate, and an apartment in the Burj Khalifa. Each purchase appears to chart a chapter of the family's extraordinary journey together.

UK police probe Bob Vylan's festival chants against Israeli military, as US revokes band's visas
LONDON: British police launched a criminal investigation Monday into a televised performance at the Glastonbury Festival by rap punk duo Bob Vylan, who drew intense criticism after they led crowds of music fans in chanting 'death' to the Israeli military. Meanwhile. the U.S. State Department said it has revoked the U.S. visas for Bob Vylan, who were set to go on tour in the United States later this year, after their 'hateful tirade at Glastonbury.' Rapper Bobby Vylan — who until the weekend was relatively little known — led crowds in chants of 'free, free Palestine' and 'death, death to the IDF' — the Israel Defense Forces — on Saturday at Britain's biggest summer music festival. The BBC said it regretted livestreaming the performance. 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves,' the broadcaster said, adding that it 'respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence.' British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.K. politicians condemned the chants, saying there was no excuse for such 'appalling hate speech.' Avon and Somerset Police said Bob Vylan's performance, along with that by Irish-language band Kneecap, were now subject to a criminal investigation and have been 'recorded as a public order incident.'
