Paul has since hit back at the artist on social media and accused Twitter of allowing celebrities to "encourage" violence against him.
He tweeted: "I take these threats immensely seriously. As a repeated target of violence, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to encourage violence against me and my family."
