To appease neighbors, he has toned down the noise and high jinks and, under a threat of arrest, has agreed not to shoot at the house without a permit. He was even promising to move, going on an aggressive house hunt for secluded quarters on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

“The people who are really close to me would walk in here and tell you that I’m a great person and that I’ve done nothing but good for them in their lives,” Mr. Paul said. “But I can’t be like, ‘Hey, I’m a good person,’ because no one cares. Anyone can say they’re a good person.”

Then again, what is hate, really, but just more content?

Later that evening, Mr. Paul headed back to the studio to answer his critics in the best way he knows how, a new rap video. Channeling Eminem in “8 Mile,” he cut a feisty track in which he owned up to seemingly every last insult the haters had hurled at him.

“Fake wife, fake life, no talent at all,” he rapped. “Let me tell y’all about all of his flaws.”

“Sometimes I wanna quit it all, sometimes I wish I wasn’t involved, sometimes I wish I could hate Jake Paul.”

It is safe to assume that impulse passed.

As of this week, the video had attracted almost 25 million views.
