White admitted in his interview with the Canadian prank group Nelk Boys that it would be the last time he spoke to Paul.

“It’s not that he doesn’t have my respect,” he said.

“You know, I don’t even know the kid. At the end of the day, I don’t even know the kid.

“And you know what? Honestly, I’ll tell you right here right now, this is the last time you’ll hear me talk about him.

“I finished it. I gave it a challenge, he said, ‘You make coke,’ I said, ‘I think you take a performance-enhancing drug,'” he never responded to that.

“So fire the kid, do your thing. I’m sitting here arguing with this kid who didn’t even fight for me, and never will fight for me.

“So what’s the point of me and him being together?”
