Boxing career
On June 12, 2021, Hall made his boxing debut against American YouTuber Austin McBroom in an exhibition match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.[13] The billing of the bout was YouTubers vs. TikTokers as the undercard features a mixture of different YouTubers vs different TikTokers.

Legal problems
Lawsuit with previous management
In 2017, Hall allegedly falsely accused his former manager Michael Weist of sexual assault.[18] On November 1, 2017, Hall tweeted out accusing Weist of hacking his Twitter account, and he also claimed that Weist touched him inappropriately, writing "Managers who touch their clients in ways they don't wanna be touched hide the truth by hacking their Twitter accounts."[19] In Hulu's Jawline, Weist is shown replying to a text about suing Hall by stating that he would sue his former client for $5 million. Weist filed a lawsuit against Hall for defamation.[20] The case was settled outside of court, and Hall publicly apologized to Weist, stating "I made some harsh statements about Michael and regret making those statements, including any suggestion of sexual assault. I am sorry for what happened and I am glad it is over."[19]
Violation of COVID-19 safety measures
On August 19, 2020, Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti authorized the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to shut off Hall's home utility services for violating the city's social distancing measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, which include a ban on house parties with large gatherings, which Hall allegedly violated with a celebration of his 21st birthday after several warnings from the Los Angeles Police Department to cease his parties.[21] On August 28, he was charged by the Los Angeles City Attorney with a misdemeanor violating the Safer L.A. health order and the city's "Party House Ordinance".[22]

Several months later in April 2021, the restaurant co-owner, Hernan Fernando sued Hall for "battery; assault; intentional infliction of emotional distress; and engaging in acts of violence motivated by race, national origin, citizenship, immigration status and primary language."[24]
