President Donald Trump told YouTuber Jake Paul in a Friday interview posted on the social media platform X that he broke up a fight involving the legendary late basketball player Kobe Bryant.
In a story first reported by author Jeff Pearlman in the book “Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty,” Trump supposedly broke up a fight between Bryant and fellow player Jayson Williams when both were in New York for the 1998 NBA All-Star Game. Bryant died in a helicopter crash in 2020 and Williams, 58, has not publicly commented on Trump’s claim.
Supposedly Bryant entered an elevator in which both Williams and Trump were present, and Williams greeted Bryant but felt Bryant’s reply was cold, prompting Williams to punch Bryant in the cheek.
"Trump, of all people, grabbed Williams and told Bryant, 'Get out of here. Quickly,’” Pearlman wrote in the book. In the recent conversation with Paul, Trump described the incident vaguely without going into specifics.
"I was breaking up a fight. … Which sometimes is more dangerous than being in a fight, right?” Trump told Paul. “But I like Kobe. Kobe was having a hard time with somebody and it worked out fine. But, yeah, I broke it up. Probably not a smart thing to do. Historically, it's never good to break up fights."
Paul is a staunch Trump supporter who once said of Trump that “when you try and kill God's angels and saviors of the world it just makes them bigger." Earlier in March, Trump endorsed Paul for potential political office at a Kentucky rally.
“I just want to say I predict, I'm going to make a prediction, that you will be in the not too distant future, running for political office, OK?” Trump said while appearing with Paul at a Wednesday rally in Kentucky. “And you have my complete and total endorsement, OK?’’ He also said Paul is a “hell of a fighter,” prompting a fact-check from USA Today’s Josh Peter.
“Paul is 12-2 with 7 knockouts and, before his KO loss to [Olympic gold medalist Anthony] Joshua, benefited from careful matchmakers,” Peter wrote.
He later added, “He built his record with victories over aging MMA fighters, an ancient Mike Tyson, a retired NBA player and a YouTuber.” While Paul is not a “terrible boxer,” Peter concluded that saying “‘a hell of a fighter’ is a big stretch.”

Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI

Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI

The post Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, Japanese casual apparel retailer Mac House announced that shareholders approved a name change to Gyet Co., Ltd., signaling a strategic shift into crypto and digital assets. The move highlights a broader corporate plan centered on cryptocurrency, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. It reflects the company’s ambition to launch a global Bitcoin treasury program, drawing attention from both domestic and international observers. “Yet” and Its Global Significance Gyet’s amended corporate charter introduces wide-ranging digital initiatives, adding cryptocurrency acquisition, trading, management, and payment services. The new objectives also cover crypto mining, staking, lending, and yield farming, as well as blockchain system development, NFT-related projects, and research in generative AI and data center operations. These changes indicate a clear intent to diversify beyond apparel and position the company within global technology and finance sectors. Sponsored Sponsored The rebranding reflects Gyet’s aim to operate with a broader international outlook. Its new name conveys three concepts: “Growth Yet,” “Global Yet,” and “Generation Yet,” signaling a desire to create technology-driven value for future generations while expanding beyond Japan’s domestic market. Bitcoin Purchasing and Mining Gyet declared its digital asset ambitions in June 2025 and in July signed a basic cooperation agreement with mining firm Zerofield. The company has since begun a $11.6 million Bitcoin acquisition program and is testing mining operations in US states such as Texas and Georgia, where electricity costs are relatively low. Its goal of holding more than 1,000 BTC is modest globally, but the model—funding purchases and mining with retail cash flow—remains unusual for an apparel business. Within Japan, Gyet follows companies such as Hotta Marusho and Kitabo, which have also diversified into cryptocurrency activities distinct from their original operations. This move may accelerate corporate Bitcoin holdings as a financial strategy, attract interest in overseas mining ventures by Japanese firms, and…
