Jake Paul dissed Alissa Violet on his track "It's Everyday Bro."

The whole thing was about making videos every day and Team 10 doing what they do best 24/7. They preach the fact that they create content nonstop, which is why they are apparently the biggest social media crew in the game. But, this track was more than that. He made subtle jabs at Alissa with lyrics referencing kicking her out of the house and how she exposed him on Twitter.

"And you know I kick them out if they ain't with the crew / Yeah, I'm talking about you, you beggin' for attention / Talking sh-t on Twitter too but you still hit my phone last night / It was 4:52 and I got the text to prove / And all the recordings too, don't make me tell them the truth."

Jake Paul kicked Alissa Violet out of the Team 10 house.

Apparently, Jake kicked Alissa out after he thought she cheated. But, she gave her side of the story saying that all he did was use her to make money. She said there was never real love there. It's hard to say what the final straw was in the situation. It's hard to say the exact moment Alissa left Team 10 or if Jake really did kick her out. Regardless, #Jalissa was over and done with for good after this happened and shippers everywhere were heartbroken.

Jake Paul accused Logan Paul of hooking up with Alissa Violet.

The whole situation between Jake and Alissa is super complicated, but this portion of it is easy to understand. Jake has said multiple times that Logan actually hooked up with Alissa when he was still in love with her. There has been a lot of back and forth about this as Alissa exposed Jake saying he never loved her and they were never really together. She said he cheated on her multiple times while they were living under the same roof. It's not totally clear if Logan and Alissa got together in spite of Jake, but Logan dropped his own diss track basically admitting that he had stolen Jake's girl. Recently, Jake said he's over it and he and Logan have loyalty to each other.

Jake Paul and Logan Paul end their feud with a brotherly love video.

Jake and Logan had a rough patch in their relationship. Lots of stuff went down between competing on YouTube and the drama with Alissa Violet, they really had some tension for a while. But, they resolved it – or publicly resolved it at least – in the only way they knew how with a music video titled, "I Love You Bro." It was all about brotherly love, sticking together, rising above the rest and how nothing could come between them. It was sweet. Believable? Not so sure. But, we watched the whole video and so did millions of others which means they did something right even if they weren't exactly on good terms after the making of the video had wrapped.

Jake Paul lit a mattress on fire in his backyard.

This is what really started lots of drama with his neighbors. Jake and Logan lit a mattress on fire for a vlog and threw it in the pool. Jake was always pushing the limits, but this marked a video where his antics became dangerous.

Jake Paul's Team 10 pop-up was a huge success.

This was a huge milestone for Team 10 as well as Jake. He hosted a bunch of pop-up shops with his merch across the country including one in Los Angeles and New York City. The gang made an appearance at the shops, hang out with fans and gave interviews. Literally, thousands of fans showed up, and we have to give it to him. This is pretty damn cool to do before even hitting 21 years of age.

Jake Paul buys the new Team 10 house himself.

This is a real feat for someone who just turned 21 years old. After Team 10 was left with no choice but to move since their neighbors were getting restless with the vlog antics that had been going on and the constant fans waiting outside on the street, Jake bought a new house. Yes, he bought the house, he is not renting it. The price tag? 6.925 million.

Jake Paul creates a song with Gucci Mane.

This has yet to be released, but Jake did make a behind-the-scenes vlog about collaborating with Gucci Mane. For a YouTuber from Ohio, this is pretty damn impressive. Not only has Jake worked his way into the acting industry, but now the music community. There's no telling if anything will ever really come from the song, but this is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Jake Paul landed an acting gig with Disney Channel on the show Bizarrdvark.

Jake gained followers fast on social media and no one could deny him that. He became so big on that platform that Disney Channel noticed him. They signed Jake onto the show Bizardvark and it was a success. Actually, it was great until they parted ways in the middle of the season. Disney and Jake said it was a mutual thing between them, but everyone knew that wasn't true. The network quietly told him he had to gtfo because they didn't stand behind where his YouTube brand had evolved to. It didn't seem like a pleasant situation, however, since then Jake has admitted that he'd be willing to work with Disney again. They have yet to comment.

Jake Paul compares himself to Selena Gomez after leaving Disney Channel.

This one is laughable. Jake actually compared himself to Selena in the way of their departures from Disney Channel. However, the situations were completely different. Selena left on good terms with the network, Jake did not. He said they had mutually parted ways. While that may have been true from a documentation stand out, it was later revealed that Disney pretty much kicked him to the curb after his vlog shenanigans had started to get out of control. They didn't want to be associated with the madness.

Jake Paul accuses FaZe Banks of assaulting his assistant.

This story was massive this year. Jake actually accused FaZe – who is Alissa Violet's current boyfriend – of assaulting his assistant Meg at a club. Turns out the accusations weren't true and Jake lost 60,000 subscribers over the ordeal. Yikes, bro.

Jake Paul makes fun of a fan for his accent.

This was really bad. Jake was making a vlog and a fan came up to the window asking for a photo. While Jake eventually did get out and take a picture with the fan, it happened after Jake made fun of his accent. The fan said he was originally from Kazakhstan which is when Jake said, "It sounds like you're just going to blow someone up. Send the nuke!" #Speechless.

Jake Paul and Team 10 were banned from filming in their house.

Jake and his crew got so out of control over the summer that the police actually banned them from filming inside their own house. They were forced to move somewhere else. This all came about after Logan and Jake decided to light furniture on fire in their backyard for a vlog. The stunts had upset the neighbors so much that they got law enforcement involved.

Jake Paul makes a diss track about himself.

This one was super weird. But, Jake actually made a diss track about himself titled, "F–k Jake Paul." The lyrics were about all of the controversies he has gotten himself into and actually encouraged his fans to make videos of their own throwing shade at him. He said he would pick the best one and fly them out to hang out with Team 10. We have yet to see that happen, but it should be V interesting if it ever does.

Jake Paul uses Erika Costell for the most clickbait video ever.

So, this might not seem like a big deal but it was all about timing. It was in the wake of Logan getting serious backlash for posting a video of a dead body in Japan's "suicide forest" and it seemed like Jake was trying to get some of the attention off of his brother. Whether or not that's actually true, it's just what it seems like. Jake posted a thumbnail photo for one of his YouTube videos of him and Erika basically naked in a bedroom. It was clickbait through and through and definitely did not succeed in taking our attention off of Logan and his disaster situation.

Jake Paul pushes Tessa Brooks on camera.

This caused major backlash coming Jake's way. It was during the time when Tessa was dating Chance Sutton. They were all playing a game of sorts and Jake got heated. It ended with him legitimately pushing Tessa into a wall but Chance was there to catch her. It was definitely not one of Jake's best looks.

Jake Paul admits he loved Alissa Violet.

Over a year after their falling out Jake said he did actually love Alissa. We have a feeling that after all the drama went down and time went by, he was able to look back on things and on his actions. He was able to see things in hindsight and realize that he did love her. Jalissa fans rejoiced. She, of course, didn't buy into it and never publicly commented about his confession.

Jake Paul slammed for racist comments in an uncovered video.

Last year during Coachella, someone caught Jake on video rapping and using the n-word. The video surfaced months later and he was slammed with backlash. The whole thing with this is that, okay, maybe he didn't know he was being filmed because the camera was kind of behind him. BUT, isn't his whole life just one big vlog? He had to have known that at least one camera was rolling. He has become such a public figure that he shouldn't be using that kind of language anywhere.

Jake Paul's old classmates call him out for being a bully.

Jake preaches to his fans how they shouldn't be bullies and how they shouldn't be mean to others. He even claims to have helped so many of his fans get through tough situations where they have been bullied in school or by their friends. However, his old classmates from Ohio actually called him out on social media claiming that Jake was their bully before he was a bigshot. They said he would taunt people in the lunchroom and was not the person he claims to be today.

Jake Paul rescues people after Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

Jake brought his charity efforts to the forefront when he and Team 10 headed down to Houston, Texas after Hurricane Harvey. While they may have been a little bit extra riding around on their jet skis, they were trying to do a good thing and we can't take that away from them. They rescued animals, people from their houses and material items that had been left behind.

Jake Paul starts his own social media course called, Edfluence.

Honestly, this might be one of Jake's biggest accomplishments aside from the millions of dollars he has made before his 21st birthday. He started his own social media course called, Edfluence, where he takes paid subscribers through a journey on how to become social media famous. He shows you the ins and outs of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Musical.ly. He explains how he stays organized, deals with the business side of things, the equipment he likes to use and the history of social media. He not only gives really good tips but speaks incredibly eloquently most of the time.
