YouTube sensation Jake Paul escalated his feud with Conor McGregor and his teammates with a drive-by attack on Dillon Danis on Tuesday.

Paul posted a profanity-laden video of McGregor on Instagram that was replied to by McGregor’s rival Nate Diaz rather than the Irish.

After getting such attention for this stunt, he went after Danis. Paul and his crew, including the video camera, drove around in the bed of a pickup truck, apparently launching water balloons at Danis while again throwing swear words at him.
