Loren Gray apologizes for using racial slurs in “insensitive” TikToks YouTube: Loren Gray[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]Loren Gray is one of TikTok’s most popular content creators, boasting over 47 million followers due to her unique style, lipsyncing videos, and original songs — but she has been called out over her older content, and is now issuing an apology. Loren Gray was once TikTok’s most-followed account, rising to the top of the video platform for a long streak before being overtaken by Charli D’Amelio in late March. While Gray still boasts a huge fanbase — in part due to her well-received original song “Cake” from May — critics are taking issue with her older videos, discovering TikToks where she appeared to use racial slurs while lipsyncing to certain songs. Although Gray is a largely positive presence on social media, the star took to Twitter to issue an apology to her fans, explaining that she’d made the offensive videos when she was around 13 years old. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuaxLuhxW6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link This didn’t stop her from taking accountability, though, with Gray likewise claiming that she “was old enough to know better” at the time of creating the TikToks. “All I can do is hope that my actions since then have proven that I’m not racist and never have been,” she wrote. “Uneducated, yes. And that is my fault. I do not have a discriminatory bone in my body, and I am well aware of my privilege.” “I’ve made very insensitive videos in the past, and I’m very happy that the world is growing and educating people like me who were obvious to the impact words can have,” she continued. “I’m very sorry and again, take full accountability.” Thus far, the TikToker’s apology post has been met with positive reactions from fans, with many happy that Gray addressed the situation and is aware of the impact of her previous posts. Gray is far from the first TikToker to make a lengthy apology post in response to accusations of racism; Addison Rae likewise issued an apology in July for similar allegations, as has newly-made TikTok star Bella Poarch. At least Gray is taking full responsibility for her actions — although, looking at past trends, this won’t be the last time a TikToke will be issuing a statement for their older videos.

Longtime PewDiePie editor calls it quits after five years – Dexerto
Longtime PewDiePie editor calls it quits after five years PewDiePie – YouTube / BradWOTO – TwitterOne of Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg’s editors, lovingly known as “Brad1” has decided to move on after nearly five years of editing videos. Brad1 announced he would be stepping away as PewDiePie’s editor which represents a big loss for the Swedish creator’s community. PewDiePie has often talked about how much he respects and appreciates his editors in his videos so long-time fans will definitely recognize his name and know how much of a blow this is. Brad1 posted a statement on Twitter captioned “Attention all 9 year olds” where he announced he was stepping down and talked about how much the role meant to him. “I wanted to give a quick thank you to everyone I worked with over the years and especially a big thank you to Felix for giving me an opportunity to work on such an impactful level and such a great YouTube channel!” PewDiePie chimed in with his thoughts too and let everyone know how much Brad1 meant to him and the channel. “Brad is one of the funniest people I know and his style of comedy has left an impact on the channel and myself,” PewDiePie tweeted. “It’s been a ride full of unforgettable memories and I’m proud of all the things we accomplished together – I will always be grateful for it.” So long, sail onhttps://t.co/d7Pw76eRybhttps://t.co/k9K0IsojN0 https://t.co/pDx4aU9o9y pic.twitter.com/eUMHhGdsB0 — ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) July 30, 2019 Brad said he will still be doing work on his personal YouTube channel as well as streaming daily on Twitch, since he no longer has any prior obligations. We’re sure he’ll be fine because there’s certainly a lot to learn from editing one of the largest YouTube channels on the platform for almost five years. He said fans probably won’t even realize he is gone from the channel for videos going forward but diehard fans will definitely feel the loss in one way or another.

IRL Twitch streamer heartbroken as strangers laugh at him in public – Dexerto
IRL Twitch streamer heartbroken as strangers laugh at him in public Twitch/AverageHarrryIRL Twitch streamer AverageHarrry has gone viral for all the wrong reasons after a group of people openly laughed at him in public. The young streamer, who was on vacation, was hanging out in a hotel lobby chatting with his viewers when suddenly a group started chuckling amongst themselves. Off-screen, a woman in hysterics can be heard talking about “people who take selfies” right as she spotted AverageHarrry sitting down on a chair in the lobby. Without warning, the woman blurted out “look at that kid” as the group continued to laugh and eventually walked out of the room, leaving Harry quite upset. After a few moments of silence and some proverbial Fs in the chat, the streamer buried his head in his hands. “They just laughed at me,” he meekly murmured. “They just laughed at me.” It’s not clear exactly what was so funny about Harry talking with his viewers, but it may have been a result of a previous joke amongst themselves that was amplified by the streamer’s presence. “They looked at me and just laughed,” the saddened streamer softly said. “Oh my God.” Heartbroken over how he was treated, Harry leaned back in his seat and tried to collect his thoughts. “I think I should just end my streaming career. There’s no point, I’m never going to live this moment down.” Luckily, the streamer was able to go right back at it and didn’t actually decide to end his streaming career as he joked. And it’s a good thing too, as the clip has since gone viral. Since being uploaded on October 27, the clip of the strangers laughing at Harry has been viewed over 200,000 times. According to the third-party stat-tracking site Twitch Metrics, this has also earned the streamer nearly 200 new followers. Hopefully, the rest of Harry’s vacation goes super well and he doesn’t end up being the butt of any more jokes by random strangers in hotels.

Long-time Twitch partner slams platform for taking higher share of sub money without warning – Dexerto
Long-time Twitch partner slams platform for taking higher share of sub money without warning Twitter: Nathanias / Twitch / Wikimedia Commons: JerichoTwitch streamer Nathan ‘Nathanias’ Fabrikant has criticized the platform after they apparently increased their cut of subscription payments from his channel, without prior warning. In 2021, the true value of subscribers has been more prominent than ever. Ludwig’s legendary 31-day subathon saw him become the most-subscribed streamer in Twitch history. As part of this success, however, Twitch was able to take a large cut of the money Ludwig made from subscriptions, with the total taken by the platform estimated to be over $900,000. While subs are a key part of Twitch’s profitability for Amazon, they also provide fans of streamers the opportunity to become a vital form of support and give streamers a core source of income. As a result, the amount streamers take from subs can often be make or break for them. On May 14, Fabrikant, who has been streaming on the platform since 2011, blasted Twitch after he discovered they were taking an extra 20% share of the money he receives through subscriptions. “I was excited to discover today that Twitch reverted my sub split, thankfully in the middle of a pandemic where I lost a lot of subs so that it can be even harder to get by,” he said. “It’s nice to have such great support from a company I’ve worked with for almost 10 years.” https://twitter.com/nathanias/status/1393245402938232837 “Last year my stream tanked as people told me they couldn’t afford subs with job loss, and I still commentated a Twitch-sponsored tournament series all year long. “It was bad enough spending my house savings in bills during a pandemic. Now I’m supposed to start over from square 1 while banned people keep their 70% splits. “This has really ruined my day. I struggled with depression, massive loss of work and a push to better myself that not everyone was able to stay on the ride for.” He later revealed a response from Twitch support, who said they would not be reversing their decision. The message, believed to be automated, said: “Twitch is not able to fulfill your request for higher revenue shares at this moment. We will be proactively reaching out to partners when they are eligible for this. https://twitter.com/nathanias/status/1393252299737231362 “Unfortunately, we cannot share more details regarding the specifics of this yet, but be on the lookout for more public information on this in the future. We are committed to investing in improving the Partner program and help all Partners continue to earn revenue while streaming on Twitch.” Read More: Streamer banned for looking at a BTTV emote – It’s believed that most streamers start with a 50% sub split, but some streamers receive a preferential 70% split instead. Subscription costs vary based on tiers: $4.99 for tier 1, $9.99 for tier 2, and $24.99 for tier 3. Dexerto has reached out to Fabrikant for comment.

Longer videos could become the norm on YouTube in the near future – Dexerto
Longer videos could become the norm on YouTube in the near future YouTube’s algorithm is suggesting longer and more popular videos the more users watch, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. In the study, researchers underwent what they called “random walks” through the platform, beginning with one randomized video from amongst 14,000 channels, which had more than 250,000 subscribers each. Researchers would then choose from one of the videos recommended by YouTube in the original video’s sidebar, until they’d watched five videos in total using the same method. Their study found that 64% of videos recommended to researchers had one million views or more, with only 5% having less than 50,000 views. Additionally, 28% of the videos recommended to researchers were suggested multiple times, with videos increasing in length over time. The recommended videos increased from a starting time of nine minutes and 31 seconds to an ending record of 14 minutes and 50 seconds. The videos likewise increased in popularity, with beginning videos having around eight million views and ending videos hitting over 40 million views. The study concluded that YouTube is recommending progressively longer and more popular videos to users the more they use the site’s algorithm. This could raise concerns for smaller channels, who may not see as many views thanks to this trend. Larger channels have also feared that they could be affected, should they stop frequently uploading. While major YouTubers have yet to react to this study, many have called out the platform for its plethora of issues in the past, including its ‘broken’ copyright system, long loading times, and more.

Long Boi trends as Twitter reacts to the world’s tallest Mallard duck – Dexerto
Long Boi trends as Twitter reacts to the world’s tallest Mallard duck Reddit, Grey_MachiiTwitter’s newest main character is tall, handsome, and incredibly rare. “Long Boi” is officially trending on the platform as users fawn over the tallest Mallard duck in worldwide history. Ducks are popular creatures. And, of the ducks, the Mallard is perhaps the most popular (it even has an Apple emoji). And, thanks to a very tall Mallard, fittingly named “Long Boi,” the species is growing infinitely more popular — as Twitter obsesses over the York, England resident. Many casual duck enthusiasts may be more familiar with the yellow rubber ducky. Those things are cool, as they fit in the palm of your hand, are sold with different outfits, and can float around your bathtub. But the Mallard, proud and crested with an emerald green, is an entirely different pedigree of waterfowl. And Long Boi, who reportedly stands at over 1 meter tall (over 3’5”), is in a class of his own. Residing on the University of York’s campus in England, the majestically elongated duck is getting serious appreciation on social media. “”The tallest mallard duck to have ever lived (since records began) known as ‘Long Boi.’ He lives on the campus of the University of York, England. He stands just over 1m tall (3.5ft).”” pic.twitter.com/YMQVRlfCb5 — Dick King-Smith HQ (@DickKingSmith) April 29, 2021 Originally shared by Grey_Machii on Reddit, it seems that Long Boi already has somewhat of a cult following. Among those who attend York University, the tall Mallard is a subject of immense pride and constant research. Among those who frequent social media, research has taken on a different light. Some reference Long Boi’s “Big Duck Energy,” while others speculate as to whether or not he is simply “three ducklings in a trench coat.” According to more informed fans of the well-postured waterfowl, there is a strong possibility that Long Boi is partly Mallard and partly Indian Runner — a distinct breed of duck known for its ability to run rather than waddle. Some York residents have also chimed in, dispelling rumors that Long Boi is as tall as we have been led to believe. Various reports indicate that Long Boi is, in fact, not over a meter tall, but is instead just about 70 centimeters (around 2’4”). At this point, it’s hard to know who to believe about the Mallard’s height or genetic composition. Like America’s Bigfoot or Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster, Long Boi is approaching mythical status.

“Long days & sleepless nights” : Behind the scenes editing for major influencers like TimTheTatman & OpTic Gaming – Dexerto
“Long days & sleepless nights” : Behind the scenes editing for major influencers like TimTheTatman & OpTic Gaming What’s life like behind the scenes working as a video editor for some of the biggest personalities in the influencer and gaming space? We talked to Ryan ‘Tru’ Smyth, a man who can count the likes of popular streamer TimTheTatman as a previous employer. Ryan Smyth, aka ‘Tru,’ is a partnered Twitch streamer and video editor for OpTic Gaming, one of the most prominent esports and entertainment organizations in the world most well known for their Call of Duty team. We got the chance to speak with Smyth about his job at OpTic and what it’s like working with major companies and creators — a career path he admits is “really fun,” even though it comes with its own particular brand of stressors. “I feel fortunate enough that I get to choose who I get to work with at this point in my life, so I can really invest myself into creators I believe in and I resonate with,” he told us. “There was definitely a lot of stress when I first started. I was terrified of screwing up, so I’d just stare at video titles to make sure they were correct or constantly scroll through the video to make sure something random hadn’t made its way in. However, over time, my confidence has grown alongside the belief I have in myself and my work. As a result, anxiety and stress has slowly faded and the imposter syndrome has gotten quieter, so those irrational fears are rarely a problem anymore.” Smyth got his first major break in 2018 when he began working for a production company called ZygoMedia. After picking up famed Twitch streamer TimTheTatman as a client, ZygoMedia went on to produce content for the likes of Netflix, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, and other big names — something Smyth helped lay the foundations for. It wasn’t long after that Smyth became the lead editor for Kitboga, a streamer famous for exposing phone scammers by keeping them on the call as long as possible and frustrating them in the process. Smyth’s work helped take Kitboga’s YouTube channel from 600,000 subscribers to over 2.1 million, amassing over 150 million views, with a fair few of the streamer’s most-watched videos being ones he’s edited. Smyth started working for OpTic in 2022, and has since had the opportunity to film some major projects with the org’s biggest players like Seth ‘Scump’ Abner and Davis ‘Hitch’ Edwards, the former of whom he’s the lead video editor and channel manager for. While some might think Smyth’s job would be extremely stressful given his clients’ prestige and legacy, the editor says he feels “blessed” that he gets the chance to do what he does, despite feeling the heat at the beginning of his career. “I’m more excited than anything when an important project presents itself. I love the challenge, and I love when I have to step up my game. It ensures I’m always learning, getting better, and not being complacent.” Smyth gets the chance to work with some of the biggest names in esports, including icons like Scump, Hitch, Shotzzy, Zlaner, and many more. We asked him about what it’s like working with big-time creators and what’s the most surprising thing fans might learn about spending time with influencers behind the scenes. “Don’t underestimate” prominent content creators In short, Smyth told us that despite their goofs and gaffs on camera, they’re serious about their work, telling us not to underestimate their passion for the gaming space. “Don’t assume that because they’re goofballs on stream that they’re not passionate about their craft or knowledge,” he admitted. “They know their sh*t. They got to where they are for a reason. I use what they know, and add to it.” Of course, it’s not every day that one gets the chance to film content with some of the biggest influencers on the net. It’s an enviable position and one that many hopefuls are looking to break into — but Smyth says candidates need more than possessing a viable skill set if they want a shot at becoming an editor for a major esports group. “You can possess all the skills in the world, but if your heart and mindset aren’t right, then it’ll all be for nothing,” he told us. “This isn’t about you, and this isn’t about getting your name out there. There will be long days and sleepless nights sometimes, but that’s just part of the gig. In terms of practical advice, you want to be as ready as possible for when that opportunity comes along.” For those looking to start out editing videos, he recommends creating your own highlight videos from your favorite creators to both practice and showcase your abilities. “They’re a great example of an editor’s versatility and creativeness,” he said. “Just have a few made to show people when you’re applying for work. Don’t be afraid to ask creators you enjoy watching, who might not have any YouTube presence, if they would like help with that. You have to start somewhere, and getting into the rhythm of working for a creator will give you skills that will stand the test of time. “Also, understanding their community will do wonders. Every community is different and responds differently to content and editing styles, so pay attention to that.” Most of all, Smyth advised hopeful candidates to be patient and continue to work hard while preparing for the right opportunity. “In a world where we view success as numbers, it couldn’t be further from the truth,” he said. “It doesn’t matter whether the person you work for has 100 subscribers or 10 million. You’re creating stories that will forever be remembered for a community, so cherish every video and moment. Adopt that attitude and you’ll go far.” Editing for the net’s biggest personalities can be “lonely” but rewarding Smyth’s job isn’t an easy one. Like any profession, there are pros and cons — and working with massive creators as a video editor can have some pitfalls. Although Smyth loves his job and is grateful for the work he does, he acknowledges that being so caught up in work can have its consequences. “To be completely honest, I get to do what I love for a living,” he said. “There isn’t a single thing I’d rather do. Now, it wasn’t easy to get here, and I had to work harder than I ever thought possible, sacrificing many many things in order to be able to do this, but the point still stands. I always try to keep that at the forefront of my mind if I ever start to feel burnt out or frustrated with things that aren’t really worth being frustrated about. “However, one thing I’ve noticed throughout the years for me is that this can be a pretty lonely job. With my time zone, I’m at least six hours ahead of my ‘life.’ Even though I’m surrounded by amazing friends and people online, when you step away, it can hit you sometimes — something I’ve noticed even more since visiting the states multiple times over the years and then coming home. It’s not something that really gets talked about, especially in men, and something I’ve definitely grown to have to battle over the years, but I’m blessed beyond measure and I wouldn’t change a thing.” In just the last year working with Scump, Smyth has helped the now-retired CoD pro garner over 55 million views on YouTube alone… but he says his long list of accomplishments in the editing space aren’t just the result of his own efforts. “I want to make it very clear it’s a team effort,” he admitted. “I am surrounded by the best in the business who both enable and challenge me to be the best editor I can.”

LoL streamer mortified after forgetting to mute mic in school Zoom class – Dexerto
LoL streamer mortified after forgetting to mute mic in school Zoom class Riot Games/Twitch/scyrine/ZoomLeague of Legends Twitch streamer ‘Scyrine’ was left humiliated after he forgot to mute his microphone while in class on a Zoom call. Due to the global health crisis, many jobs and even schools have moved completely online, with employees and students using Zoom – an online meeting software – to communicate with each other. Of course, because everything is done at home now, it means that some students have ample opportunities to slack off or even play video games and stream on Twitch in class. During a November 19 broadcast, the streamer was playing League of Legends and started raging at the exact moment his teacher was talking. Unknown to the player, however, he left his mic unmuted – meaning the entire class could hear him. “I’m done, I can’t play this game!” he exclaimed while standing up. “I’m done, I’m done, I’m done. I’m so f**king done, guys.” Read More: 14 biggest video game films & tv coming soon – As the streamer kept shouting, eventually the teacher stepped in and asked who was making all the noise. “Guys, what is that?” she asked. It was at this moment that Scyrine knew he screwed up. “I wasn’t muted,” he softly said. “Guys at home, did someone have something go off accidentally?” she further inquired. Sensing he had no other choice but to lie, Scyrine claimed his brother started making noise in his room. “Josh, you got to ban your brother from the room, alright?” she requested. “Okay, so now Josh, you can answer that question.” Unfortunately, because he was too busy playing League of Legends, the streamer had no idea what was even being discussed in class. After being given a multiple-choice question, he ended up incorrectly answering an easy query about check-cashing stores – much to the amusement of his chat. “It’s two!” viewers spammed, shocked that he answered the multiple-choice question incorrectly. This just goes to show that if you’re ever going to play a video game in class, you probably shouldn’t – but if you do, be sure your microphone is muted at all times.

LoL streamer says he was permanently banned because Twitch thought he was someone else – Dexerto
LoL streamer says he was permanently banned because Twitch thought he was someone else Riot Games/TwitchIt’s not out of the norm these days to see some surprising Twitch bans, but now, a League of Legends player may have the weirdest ban story to share yet. Now-former Twitch streamer Bluelikeblue claims that he was banned because his identity was mistaken for another streamer entirely. According to Bluelikeblue, he began streaming back in Season 10 where he was one of the best Kassadin one-trick players on the platform. Amusingly, however, he wasn’t the only German maining the champion. Another streamer, named ‘Permabanxd’, not only mained Kassadin, but also listened to the same type of music as his fellow countryman. As such, Blue claims some people began to meme that the two were one and the same. After almost a whole year of being banned i finally got my response.. XD mb ig pic.twitter.com/JuIEBBmlrp — bluelikeblue (@bluelikeblue1) May 15, 2021 Eventually, Permabanxd was banned from the site (yes, his name makes this story more confusing) but the memes and jokes about the two streamers being one and the same continued. “At some point I decided to milk the meme, just for fun,” Blue told Dexerto. “I made a tweet stating Bluelikeblue = Permabanxd.” For a while, the tweet seemed to help the streamer’s channel, but it wouldn’t last for long. “Some people believed it, mainly those who were new to my community,” he said. “Either way the tweet got attention and my stream did too. I went from around 150 viewers to 200+, eventually around 400-500 average when I got banned.” According to Bluelikeblue, he was banned for “ban evasion” and hasn’t been allowed back on the site. Meanwhile, Permabanxd has a new channel called ngodcomplex, something that Blue doesn’t understand. “I thought it is quite obvious that I am not and never expected Twitch to ban me for it,” Blue added. “Being wrongly banned while completely innocent, I started sending multiple ban appeals to Twitch support, stating my innocence and asking for the exact reason of my ban.” After almost a whole year of being banned i finally got my response.. XD mb ig pic.twitter.com/JuIEBBmlrp — bluelikeblue (@bluelikeblue1) May 15, 2021 After waiting eight months for a response, Twitch support sent him an email reaffirming their position that he and Permabanxd are one and the same. However, it does seem like even if what Blue is claiming is true, he ended up getting rightfully banned for ban evasion anyway when he created another account called “x9blue” in an attempt to circumvent the suspension. Additionally, in a since-deleted Twitlonger from November 2020, Bluelikeblue appears to confess to creating multiple accounts, but continued to claim that he did nothing wrong to begin with and was banned due to a mistaken identity. Dexerto has reached out to Permabanxd for comment. Blue claims that he has never met the other streamer and has no idea how he has been able to return to Twitch. In any case, it’s a bizarre situation that shows no signs of being resolved soon.

LoL streamer finally unbanned after indefinite Twitch suspension was ruining his career – Dexerto
LoL streamer finally unbanned after indefinite Twitch suspension was ruining his career Riot Games/Twitter/NickichLoLLeague of Legends streamer ‘Nickich’ has finally been unbanned on Twitch after months of begging the platform to reverse their decision to indefinitely suspend him. Nickich was first hit with his ban on March 20. In a video explaining what happened, the Canadian streamer revealed that unmoderated hateful comments in his chat had caused Twitch to issue the suspension. Given where Nick was at in life, being in school while also growing a following on Twitch, he was put in an unfavorable position – especially as his appeal was taking months to be approved. The streamer had plans to go back to university in May, but thanks to his numbers getting “real good” and his subscribers growing, he decided to put it off to September to stream full time. https://twitter.com/NickichLoL/status/1379521537083080708 Sadly, the suspension threw a wrench into those plans. “For the stage in my life I’m at and financially, I can’t keep waiting for Twitch. I can’t keep sitting around. I started applying for jobs and stuff,” he said back in April. Now, months later, Twitch has finally unbanned the streamer – and luckily, it’s not too late for Nick to take advantage of the opportunity. “Very excited and super glad Twitch unbanned me,” he said in a statement to Dexerto. “I’m going to be on my best behavior going forward and make sure nothing like this happens again!” It’s unclear what took so long for Nick’s appeal to be heard, but it may have to do with the fact he isn’t a Twitch partner. Read More: What does the PewDiePie shower meme mean? – Nonetheless, news of Nickich’s unban has the LoL community celebrating. Even Nickich took to Twitter to make a post announcing his return. “You unbanned?” one asked. “Congrats man!” https://twitter.com/Alphalari/status/1402332890835263490 “Finally. Holy sh*t,” another remarked in glee. Hopefully, Nick can keep his word and stay out of trouble so he doesn’t have to go through this crazy ordeal ever again. No return stream has been announced just yet, but it’s sure to be popping when he finally decides to go live on Twitch once again.

LoL streamer has awkward encounter with viewer’s cheating boyfriend – Dexerto
LoL streamer has awkward encounter with viewer’s cheating boyfriend Twitch: Kaia / FreepikA League of Legends streamer was left speechless when she awkwardly discovered during a match that a viewer’s boyfriend was cheating on her. Successful Twitch streamers have to engage with their audience while also entertaining them live. However sometimes they have to face an awkward situation in the middle of a broadcast, and they have to just keep going. A League of Legends player became an example of this when a friendly request from her chat backfired in spectacular fashion. What was supposed to be a wholesome moment between a couple quickly resulted into the end of a relationship. Popular cosplayer ‘Kaia’ was in the middle of a League of Legends match during her February 9th broadcast when a viewer in the streamer’s chat told her to say “hi!” to a player on the other team because they were his girlfriend. However things turned awkward fast when the man replied with a different girl’s name than that of the person in chat, making it appear that the other player possibly had two girlfriends he was juggling. Kaia tweeted about the incident explaining, “Today I was streaming ranked and got host. A girl in my chat knew the opposing jungler and told me to say “Your girlfriend says hi”, I did and he replied “oh hey melissa! > https://twitter.com/kaiacos/status/1226555676429881346 While some of her 12.8k followers found the encounter sad, others slammed the allegedly cheating partner, such as Smash Bros pro Hugo ‘HugS’ Gonzalez who exclaimed, “LOL glad he got caught.” Another Twitter user named ‘thunderwoot’ cracked, “Never thought that side e-girls could be a thing,” which caught the attention of the Twitch streamer, who replied, “I’m sweating bro. At the end of the game, he said “it ain’t like that.” Fans of the streamer that were curious to see the incident dug up the moment from her broadcast. In the clip, Kaia looks baffled and stunned by the revelations as her chat explodes after realizing what she had accidentally uncovered. It’s impossible to know for sure if the incident was a genuine case of a viewer finding out their partner was cheating, or an elaborate troll that got extremely lucky. Either way, the incident quickly made things awkward for Kaia. If nothing else, it’s just another example of the new ways cheaters can get caught. Which now includes playing League of Legends, and replying to a streamer with the wrong answer.

League of Legends falls off Twitch’s top gaming spot amid GTA RP resurgence – Dexerto
League of Legends falls off Twitch’s top gaming spot amid GTA RP resurgence Take-Two InteractiveAfter holding the Twitch reigns for months, League of Legends has fallen off the throne. In November 2022, bolstered by a returning surge of RP streamers, GTA V reclaimed the top gaming spot on the platform. League of Legends has been one of the dominant kings of viewership on Twitch, providing tens of millions of hours watched every month for the streaming platform. But during the month of November, arguably one of League of Legends’ weakest months of the year, Grand Theft Auto V overtook the MOBA, earning itself the second highest viewed category on Twitch (behind Just Chatting). According to Sullygnome, During the month of November 2022, League of Legends had a cumulative watch time of 92.6 million hours, while GTA V had a watch time of 99.5 million hours. And per usual, Just Chatting won the number one viewed category with a whopping 239.8 million hours of watch time. A big reason as to exactly how GTA overtook League of Legends is thanks to the recent resurgence of the GTA RP. For those who don’t know exactly what this is, it’s essentially an online community of Grand Theft Auto players who enjoy role playing and creating their own rules for the game. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, one of Twitch’s biggest streamers, returned to the game during the month of November, contributing to a sizeable chunk of GTA V’s cumulative watch time on Twitch. This was after he claimed he was quitting the game ” for good” some time ago. As for League of Legend’s viewership, the month of November is typically a testing period for the developers after Worlds ends. Known as preseason, the game undergoes a transition into the next season. During this time, big streamers, such as Tyler1, turn to other games. Across the rest of the top 10, CS:GO experienced a major boost thanks to the Rio Major. Call of Duty: Warzone also spiked thanks to the release of Warzone 2, while Overwatch 2 started its backwards slide following October’s launch hype. World of Warcraft crested into the top 10 at the very end too, spurred on by Dragonflight’s release. You can find the top 10 most watched categories on Twitch in November 2022 below. Most watched categories in November 2022 Based on hours watched Just Chatting – 239,755,926 – Grand Theft Auto V – 99,456,990 – League of Legends – 92,645,258 – Counter-Strike: Global Offensive – 86,942,107 – Valorant – 67,635,264 – Call of Duty: Warzone – 49,288,753 – Overwatch 2 – 47,612,487 – Minecraft – 44,286,836 – World of Warcraft – 43,377,335 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II – 43,125,613 –

LoL K/DA successor True Damage talent lineup, release date revealed for Worlds With the League of Legends World Championship cruising towards semi-finals, the talent lineup and release date for this year’s hype group True Damage has been announced. True Damage is the successor to Riot’s hit K-pop group K/DA. Earlier leaks had debuted the heroes featured in the new fictional group and now we’ve got the release date and talent list for the band. Becky G, Keke Palmer, Thutmose and Duckwrth will join returning K-Pop sensation Soyeon of (G)l-dle as the talent comprising True Damage. According to an announcement on (G)I-dle’s Instagram, the song is set to debut on November 10, two days before the World Championship. The fictional band will consist of Yasuo, Qiyana, Akali, Senna, and Ekko. Akali is speculated to be the same character returning from K/DA. The return of Soyeon would appear to confirm this earlier speculation. True Damage is taking a more international approach as opposed to the K-Pop vibe of K/DA. Thutmose and Duckwrth are both popular American rappers, with Becky G also hailing from America. She is known for RnB singles like Secrets, who became popular by doing cover songs back in 2011. Keke Palmer is perhaps best known for her role on Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, VP, where she performed the theme song. K/DA remains one of Riot’s most thriving musical creations, with over 275 million views on Youtube. Time will tell if True Damage can live up to the expectations in the follow-up. Read More: Listen to the 2019 Worlds theme song Phoenix – The League of Legends World Championship is currently down to only four teams remaining fighting for glory. Three-time champion SK Telecom T1 and Faker are currently considered the favorites, who will play European hopefuls G2 Esports on Sunday, November 3. On the other side of the bracket, defending World Champions Invictus Gaming will take on FunPlus Phoenix on November 2.

LoL caster Eefje Depoortere claps back at haters after viral Euros pasta TikTok – Dexerto
LoL caster Eefje Depoortere claps back at haters after viral Euros pasta TikTok Eefje Depoortere/TikTokAfter League of Legends caster Eefje Depoortere’s innocent trash-talk TikTok before the Belgium vs. Italy game during Euros 2021 went viral, she predictably received plenty of hate from upset Italians. But she has some choice words for all of the haters, and in their own language. Italy and Belgium faced off in their Euros 2021 Quarterfinal match on July 2, and by halftime Lorenzo Insigne and crew had already scored all the goals they’d need for the win. Over in the land of the internet though, the buzz around Depoortere’s TikTok was just heating up, with the video even getting picked up by Italian media. To break it down, the Belgian filmed herself breaking some spaghetti in half — not a mortal sin all by itself — but then she went over the edge by cutting the pasta up, before dumping french fries and what looks like a bit of mayonnaise on top. Whatever you do, don’t show this video to Nonna. YOUR MOVE ITALY 🇮🇹🇧🇪🌝#EURO2020 #BELITA pic.twitter.com/4Q3NfMBQvc — Eefje Depoortere (@sjokz) July 2, 2021 Besides being passionate fans of the beautiful game, Italians are also known for their love and vigorous defense of their delicious national dishes online. Some actions are seen as simply unforgivable to Italian food purists — just check out the comments any viral post of the cuisine from a non-Italian chef — and apparently Depoortere’s innocent jab sent more than few over the edge. Whether they were angry soccer fans, upset foodies, or a bit of both, Eefje found her mentions and DMs overflowing with irate Italians long after the match had ended. On July 4 Depoortere posted a response to the haters, who at this point were just rubbing salt in the would more than 48 hours after the match. Though, it definitely wasn’t the apology some were looking for. https://twitter.com/sjokz/status/1411727879432507398?s=20 “To people that say I hate Italy, that is just not true,” the LoL caster said. “But I’m being told I need to apologize or they’ll keep harassing me. So, to the people that keep insulting me and telling me to apologize, I want to say from the bottom of my heart — La mamma dei cretini e sempre incinta.” In english that translates to “the mother of idiots is always pregnant,” which basically means no matter where you go or what you do, there will always be stupid people around. Which seems to sum up Depoortere’s feelings on the matter perfectly.

LoL coach Saintvicious under fire after mocking depression as “a made up excuse” – Dexerto
LoL coach Saintvicious under fire after mocking depression as “a made up excuse” Update, December 9 08:29 am EST: FlyQuest have now confirmed Saintvicious’ resignation, along with an apology statement from the now former head coach. Original article below. Twitch streamer, and League of Legends caster and coach, Brandon ‘Saintvicious’ DiMarco has come under fire after claiming that mental illnesses like depression, anxiety and ADHD are “made up bullshit.” Saintvicious is a well known figure in League of Legends, currently the coach of NA LCS team FlyQuest, and also streams regularly on Twitch. During a stream on December 8, Saintvicious answered a question from chat about mental illness, specifically depression, and his answer surprised viewers. He said that having experienced “depression” in his own life, he was able to cure himself by ‘fighting his way out of it’. More: YouTube Rewind 2018 video on course to break dislike record “I have been in points of my life where I’m like ‘depressed’ or down. But then I just woke up one day and I’m like ‘I’m going to fight my way out of this shit, because I’m being a little weak bitch.” He goes on to claim that it’s not an illness, and also mentions other mental health issues like anxiety and ADHD, calling them “made up bullshit.” His comments were later shared to Reddit, where users blasted Saintvicious for his view on depression and mental health. User dispoable writes “The problem is he’s totally willfully ignorant to all of those topics. What he had was some bad days but depression, anxiety, and ADHD is empirically proven to be real things.” Another commenter was surprised that this was the stance Saintvicious took since he claims he too has suffered from depression. Saintvicious has a popular stream with over 180,000 followers on Twitch, but even many of his fans and viewers were not in agreement with his stance, with one writing in chat “lost all my respect” and another saying “I don’t see what’s wrong with getting help.” Mental health has been a major issue within the gaming community particularly, and so it is surprising to hear a prominent esports coach voice this opinion, clearly angering some fans. At the time of writing, Saintvicious has not responded to any of the backlash or attempted to clarify his comments.

Logic slams UMG for not letting Ninja & Twitch streamers play his music – Dexerto
Logic slams UMG for not letting Ninja & Twitch streamers play his music Instagram, @logic[jwplayer 91I9RIGm]Logic has moved onto Twitch streaming after retiring from rap, but he has taken up arms against his record label, UMG, for disallowing streamers like Ninja from playing his discography. A day after Kanye West lit Twitter on fire with attacks against Universal Music Group for the stipulations of their contracts with recording artists, Logic has joined in with a public push against the label for refusing to let Twitch streamers use his music, despite his requests. While Kanye invoked similarly frustrated artists like Chauncey ‘Hit-Boy’ Hollis and called upon other high-profile UMG signees like Drake and Taylor Swift in his unrelenting attack against UMG for perceived wrongs, Logic has referenced the godfather of streaming himself: Ninja. Too many of my gaming homies @Ninja included have wanted to play my music during stream and on YouTube but @UMG wont let me. I want 2 give to this great community and allow them 2 use my music for free! This is beyond a dollar sign. I want the community to enjoy my music #HowSway — Rappy Gilmore (@Logic301) September 18, 2020 Logic has six studio albums to his name and two Grammy nominations, making him one of the past decade’s more prominent artists. It’s therefore no surprise that he mentions that his “gaming homies, including Ninja” have wanted to stream his music during their Twitch sessions. In light of Twitch’s 2020 issues with DMCA violations and subsequent streamer bans across the platform, the onus is put on artists and their representatives to allow streamers the rights to use their music. In this instance, Logic’s gripe is that his representation, UMG, refuses to open up the rights to his music for usage by streamers on Twitch or YouTube. “UMG won’t let me,” he explained. “I want to give to this great community and allow them to use my music for free! This is beyond a dollar sign. I want the community to enjoy my music.” It’s CRAZY, dude. I’ve talked about this with so many artists and they just feel trapped. They want their music played but can’t get approval. — Jack “CouRage” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) September 18, 2020 As star streamer Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop reiterates, the issue is massive and not limited to Logic. No stranger to the music business, the streamer co-recorded a hilarious music video with Ariana Grande and has now responded to Logic’s complaints by affirming that this situation is widespread: “I’ve talked about this with so many artists, and they just feel trapped.” It’s an interesting conundrum that came to light back in June following Twitch’s DMCA discussions when rapper 21 Savage allowed streamer Trainwrecks to use his music. That was only possible because 21 owns the rights to all of his masters, a position many artists do not find themselves in. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1306236154409222145 In Kanye’s case, he went on a Twitter spree, posting screen grabs of every single UMG contract he is currently signed with. The clip of him urinating on a Grammy went viral, but that was just one way for him to publicize what he believes is an unjust power dynamic between label and artist. At the moment, Logic and Kanye’s contracts are signed and legally binding, but it is very interesting that these artists are bringing their criticisms into the public arena. UMG has made no response so far, but Logic appears hopeful that exposure from his and Ninja’s platforms may apply enough pressure to let him choose who can play and listen to his music for free.

Logic thanks FaZe Clan for being a “driving force” in his rap career – Dexerto
Logic thanks FaZe Clan for being a “driving force” in his rap career Twitter/X: Logic301American rapper Logic had some kind words for FaZe Clan, crediting the esports and entertainment organization for being a “driving force” at the beginning of his career. Logic is a prominent name in the music biz who makes no bones about his love for all things anime and video-game related. Thus, it comes as little surprise that he’s got connections with FaZe Clan, a prominent competitive gaming group known for their collaborations with major celebs like Snoop Dogg and luxury brands like Porsche. In a video uploaded to Twitter/X on July 8, 2024, Logic thanked the founding members of FaZe Clan and even said they helped start his career as a major player in the rap game. “Thank you for helping be such a driving force in the beginning of my career,” he said. “Without that, we wouldn’t have had that moment of those montages, sh*t you had to be there for. “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me really get that start going. I love you guys, and I love the fans, and I love hip-hop, and I love gaming.” Logic has quite a history with FaZe Clan. In a 2023 interview with FaZe Blaze and Tommy Untold, the rapper explained that FaZe Temperrr had hit him up back around 2012, explaining that he was a big fan and asking if he could send him a sweater. Logic would end up wearing that same sweater in the music video for his song ‘The Spotlight,’ bringing an entirely new audience over to his music. “It was pretty cold in Maryland and I needed to shoot a video,” he explained. “I was wearing all black and I was like, ‘Oh, this hoodie’s really cool, it matches my infrared Jordan 6’s.’ So I wore that, and then next thing I know, there’s millions of people listening to my music I had no idea about at all, because I was cold. So I’m really hyped that that happened, and now I’m sitting here on this couch.” It looks like Logic has even more in the works with FaZe Clan, as told in his latest video. We got the chance to speak with the artist at Anime Expo 2024, who let us in on the importance of gaming and anime in his career, even crediting the Japanese art medium for “saving his life.”

Logic joins Twitch after striking seven-figure streaming deal – Dexerto
Logic joins Twitch after striking seven-figure streaming deal Wikimedia Commons: DaniXCortes / Twitch[jwplayer nRNmFBgY]Popular rapper ‘Logic’ has signed an exclusive streaming deal with Twitch, just days after announcing his impending retirement from music. Logic, real name Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, has released five studio albums to-date, but announced on July 16 that he would be retiring from music after the release of forthcoming project ‘No Pressure,’ which is slated for release on July 24. While fans were shocked by the announcement, including many top content creators, it doesn’t seem as though Logic will be disappearing entirely, as he takes on the world of livestreaming as opposed to studio and festivals. Although in his initial announcement Tweet, Logic suggested that now it is “time to be a great father,” it’s become clear that this isn’t him leaving the spotlight for good, but instead taking his talents to Twitch, where he has allegedly penned a seven-figure deal. While many celebrities have taken to livestreaming, not many have signed exclusive deals that compare to — and even outweigh — some of the deals being signed by top streamers, but Logic is looking to bridge that gap. In an exclusive interview with The Verge, Logic explained how and why he came to make the decision. “I’m not this rapper guy, man,” he said. “I’m just a nerd. I love video games. I’m blessed enough to have millions of fans and followers. So it is a great partnership.” He then revealed that the deal itself is worth seven figures — though no exact number is specified, a minimum of $1 million isn’t too shabby for someone that hasn’t made their name as a streamer. The rapper is no stranger to the streaming world, having been an active user on Twitch “since 2015 or 2016,” as well as having affiliations with the likes of FaZe Clan in the past. In Logic’s first official Twitch livestream as an exclusive partner, he will be premiering No Pressure ahead of its July 24 release. Logic is scheduled to go live for the first time at 5 PM PST (8 PM EST / 1 AM BST) on Tuesday, July 21, giving his most devoted fans on Twitch an exclusive early look at what’s to come.

Logic reveals how he accidentally trolled police when H3H3 were swatted – Dexerto
Logic reveals how he accidentally trolled police when H3H3 were swatted YouTube: h3 podcast[jwplayer smynPnSq]During the August 20 episode of the H3 Podcast, retired rapper Logic revealed an insane story about how he mistakenly trolled the police while H3H3 were being swatted at their home. The streamer – whose real name is Sir Robert Bryson Hall II – retired from his music career in July after signing a multi-million dollar deal with Twitch. During his appearance on the H3 Podcast, the star opened up to viewers about how he mistook the police for a prank call while hanging out with the hosts. Logic reveals H3H3 swatting story While visiting the H3 Podcast, Logic revealed that he was with hosts Ethan and Hila Klein when they were swatted back in 2019. The star told viewers that the comedic duo were actually at his movie theater when it had happened. “You were in my theater, and the funny part that people don’t realize is that you were in my theater and you got a phone call from a random number. And you were not gonna answer it. So I was like let me answer it,” he said. The Twitch streamer then explained how he didn’t believe it was the police calling. “I answered and I’m like “HELLO?” and they’re like “This is the police!” and I’m like “YEAH, F**K OFF!” and I’m like telling the police to go like f**k themselves because we like think somebody leaked your number or something.” (Topic starts at 15:36) Hila jumped in and clarified that the policemen that had called also sounded young. “The officer sounded like a kid too, we really thought we were just being pranked by kids,” she explained. This isn’t the first time the YouTubers have opened up about being swatted, as during an October 2019 episode of their podcast, the duo revealed how stressful and traumatizing it was for their family. The revelation that they were with Logic during the incident is another layer to the already crazy story. While it was an awful situation, the podcast hosts can now laugh at the retired rapper’s honest mistake.

Logic explains harrowing reason why he left the internet despite mega Twitch deal – Dexerto
Logic explains harrowing reason why he left the internet despite mega Twitch deal Pardon My TakeThe last two years have been a wild ride for Logic. He retired from music, signed a blockbuster Twitch deal, and largely disappeared from the internet all in the same few months. While he has since returned to music, he still seems to be disconnected from social media these days. In an interview with Pardon My Take, he explained his decision to step away from the internet and focus on his home life. If you’ve followed his career closely at all, you know that Logic’s connection to the internet has been a crucial part of his rise to stardom. Whether pushing the news about new songs on Twitter, allowing FaZe Clan to use his music in their early montages, or more recently signing a deal with G-Fuel, the rapper has shown a profound understanding of the internet space. While that kind of savvy did bring a lot of good into the rapper’s life, it has also brought a ton of negativity as well. Logic explains why he stepped away from the internet in 2020 While he has since returned to music, it seems like the rapper still hasn’t fully returned to the social internet. He’s been active on a few platforms, including Twitch, where he participated in the PogChamps chess tournament and cosplayed as Dwight K. Schrute in a match against Rainn Wilson, but that seems to be the most of his internet activity. “I’m tired of being on this chopping block,” he said when asked about being chronically online. While the internet has played a key part in his rise to the top, it’s easy to forget the kind of negativity it can bring as well. In the interview, he touches on some of the more tragic parts of his internet experience, including people wishing ill on him and his family. “I don’t need people calling my nineteen (month) old son ugly and hoping that he dies.” That sort of attention clearly got to him even while he enjoyed the peak of his success so far. “I remember at the height of me being on the internet, one post on an Instagram story would get like over a million views…but what does that even mean?” The reasons for his disconnection are certainly valid, it is easy to wonder about the timing. Shortly after his short-lived retirement from music, Logic signed a “seven-figure deal” with Twitch. In the days since, he has only streamed a handful of times on his personal channel, and we estimate he made over $8,000 an hour for the time he spent on the platform. That’s a pretty sweet deal for him. It seems as if Logic’s next move will be heading into film, as he’s written a film specifically for himself. If you’re interested in what that might look like, you can catch the rapper acting alongside his pal Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the Apple TV+ series Mr. Corman.

Logic has made over $8,000 an hour with his Twitch partnership – Dexerto
Logic has made over $8,000 an hour with his Twitch partnership Twitch / LogicFormer rapper ‘Logic’ signed a seven-figure deal with Twitch in 2020 to stream exclusively on the site. Since then Logic has racked up over $8,000 per hour. Here’s what he’s done. Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, also known as “Logic,” surprised fans when he announced on July 16, 2020 that he would be retiring from making music. In an interview at the time, he revealed he’d signed a deal with Twitch worth “seven-figures.” It’s been over a year since signing the deal, and people have discovered that things seemed to work out for Logic in the end. Logic streamed 126 hours in Twitch partnership Not a lot of details were released for the contract Logic signed with Twitch. We do know it was worth at least $1 million based on the “seven-figures” mark given by the musician. According to TwitchTracker Logic only streamed 126 hours since July 21, 2020. If we take a base of $1 million and divide that by 126 hours, we can see that Logic has made roughly around $7,937 per hour streamed. Since we don’t know the exact value that the deal was worth, there is no way to know how much he’s making an hour. A little over a year ago, rapper Logic signed a 7 figure deal to stream exclusively on Twitch Since signing that deal, he has streamed only 126 hours. Seems like a good deal to me pic.twitter.com/vswe8RnTm1 — Wicked Good Gaming (@WickedGoodGames) August 20, 2021 However, some are saying Logic “finessed” Twitch, and “got the bag” to stream. Someone else called it “a stupid contract on Twitch’s end.” While everyone has their own opinions, the streaming platform has never made a statement on the relatively small amount of time Logic has spent streaming. Back when he first signed the deal, Logic was streaming the popular game Among Us. He would play with the likes of Disguised Toast, Pokimane, and others. In the months of July and August, 2021, he’s only streamed twice for a total of two hours though. This could be why a lot of people believe Logic got the good end of the stick much like Ninja and shroud’s deal with Mixer.

Logic cosplays as Dwight from The Office in chess match vs Rainn Wilson – Dexerto
Logic cosplays as Dwight from The Office in chess match vs Rainn Wilson NBC/Instagram: LogicRapper Logic took a leaf out of Jim Halpert’s book in his Twitch Pogchamps chess match against actor Rainn Wilson, as he showed up donning Dwight Schrute’s signature clothing. Pogchamps is one of the biggest chess tournaments on Twitch, with some of the biggest names in streaming and beyond battling it out to win the title. The third iteration of the tournament has featured some major names in streaming, including xQc, MrBeast, Pokimane and Myth. However, Group C features two people famous for their careers outside of Twitch: Logic and Wilson. Their matchup was one of the most anticipated of the group stages, and Logic certainly didn’t fail to entertain. The match, hosted by chess.com CCO Daniel Rensch and TSM chess Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, kicked off in spectacular fashion when Logic showed up wearing a yellow shirt, tie and blocky glasses, resembling Wilson’s character Dwight Schrute from The Office. Rensch had received a text from Logic the night before the match warning him he would be wearing a special outfit, and – to Logic’s credit – he delivered. Through laughter, Rensch displayed his coffee mug, which was painted to resemble Dwights’s clothing. Unfortunately, Hikaru took a while to cotton on to what Logic was going for. “He looks like something out of the 1970’s,” he said. Logic’s outfit was exceptional, but his chess play was even better, as he managed to trap Wilson’s king to claim the win in game one. But Wilson was able to claw it back, winning the next two games to take the Bo3 tie 2-1. The imitation served as a perfect callback to the legendary The Office cold open from season 3 episode 21 “Product Recall” where John Krasinski’s character, Jim Halpert, plays a prank on Dwight by purchasing an exact replica of his outfit. Regardless of the result, Wilson and Logic remain joint-top of Group C, with Minecraft streamer Tubbo and fitness YouTuber MichelleKhare lagging behind. Both players will be desperate to stake their claim for the $20,000 jackpot as they face tough competition in the knockout stages.

Logic deletes community Discord server after “racism, homophobia, and threats” – Dexerto
Logic deletes community Discord server after “racism, homophobia, and threats” Instagram: LogicLogic has deleted a Discord server he made for his community after dealing with “racism, homophobia, and threats” over the last few months. Over the last decade, rapper Logic has skyrocketed in popularity with some of the most iconic music in the hip-hop and rap genres. Also known as “Bobby boy,” the rapper spends a lot of time interacting with his fans through TikTok, Twitch, and chat apps like Discord. On September 28, 2023, Logic deleted his Discord server due to the actions of the members in the community. Logic explained why he deleted community Discord server Shortly after the server was limited to just Logic’s message to the community, Record Label owner Bryce Fitts shared the results of a conversation he had with the iconic rapper. “Just got off a call with Logic and he has a message for everyone. He made it very clear to me this was not about himself, but the pain his own fans were causing to others,” he said. “He decided to delete his Discord, after everything taking place in the server he saw overwhelming amounts of racism, homophobia, death threats, addresses getting leaked, people getting harassed, children getting attacked, and overall disgusting behavior from messages that people involved do not even know he saw,” Fitts explained. “He does not want to be the owner of a space which breeds this kind of behavior that is impossible to moderate as a lot of this was private, but stemmed from the server itself.” Bryce also shared a video from Logic, which was included in the message he shared on the Discord after deleting all of the channels. In the clip, he went into detail about the issues in the server — much of which includes what Bryce said in his first post. Twitter and other social platforms quickly became flooded with people reacting to Logic deleting the server, with many annoyed because it was only available to people who paid a $10 subscription fee. Regardless, Logic made it clear that he doesn’t want to foster a community that is mean to each other like the ways he described.

Logan Paul’s YouTube channel was hacked for fake iPhone promotion – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s YouTube channel was hacked for fake iPhone promotion Following the announcements of Apple’s new iPhone XS line came a serious breach of privacy to one of YouTube’s biggest stars. A video was uploaded to Logan Paul’s channel, asking users to click a link in the description to claim a free iPhone X. The 21-second video, simply titled ‘GIVEAWAY ?!’ garnered over 9.1K views before being deleted from his channel. However, it appears that a second video was also uploaded under a different title, this one named ‘GIVING AWAY 1500 IPHONES?!?!’ It gained over 124,000 views before being deleted, and reportedly live for nearly two hours. Massive YouTuber and Drama Alert host KEEMSTAR took to Twitter to warn viewers that the video was a scam, stating that the link in the video’s description led to a virus. He addressed kids in particular, knowing that a few gullible souls might fall prey to the hacker’s shady tactics. One Twitter user bravely tested the scam, and stated that the link led to a series of “infinite giveaway ads” as seen on other websites. This isn’t the first time one of the Paul brothers has been hacked, either – Jake Paul responded to an alleged hack in December of 2017 to his YouTube channel and Instagram account. Logan has made no comment on iPhone giveaway video, which was posted on September 13.

Logan vs KSI: Logan Paul reveals new details and location for KSI boxing rematch – Dexerto
Logan vs KSI: Logan Paul reveals new details and location for KSI boxing rematch YouTube / Logan PaulThe highly anticipated boxing fight rematch between YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI may finally be coming together, as Logan claims the details are being finalized. The pair sparred it out back in August 2018, at the Manchester Arena, but ended in a draw – meaning a rematch was all but inevitable. With the first brawl eminating from KSI’s native England, the rematch is slated to take place in the US, where Logan should have more support – and the Ohio-born YouTuber has revealed that LA is the most likely destination. Speaking to TMZ, Logan said the venue will be one of two iconic stadiums – the Staples Center or The Forum. Logan also said that some of the ‘big details’ about the fight are being “ironed out”, but that the match is just around the corner. He also apparently had some harsh words for his opponent, labelling KSI a “bitch” and suggesting he hasn’t been training hard in preparation: “he looks like a f***ing meatball right now.” Logan on the other hand has been preparing for months. KSI has remained relatively quiet on the matter, possibly distracted by his recent European tour. However, back in June, he slammed Logan for supposedly dodging offers for the rematch, and said that if it wasn’t organized soon, he would just set it up in the UK again instead. Shut the fuck up. You guys don’t know how to even create a boxing event. You’ve been talking to a few organisers to set this whole thing up since you can’t do it and nothing has happened still. YOURE USELESS. WE GET SHIT DONE IN THE UK https://t.co/VKZhOssgim — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 When will the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch be? Given that Paul has claimed the final details are being ironed out, it sounds like the fight could take place sometime in 2019. Potentially, they could do it exactly one year on from the August fight in 2018, but that wouldn’t give them much time to promote the event. More likely, they would push it to later in 2019, or perhaps even early 2020, as both YouTubers will want to create plenty of drama in the lead up to the bout, and months of back and forth arguments, roasts and even some diss tracks are sure to be part of the narrative.

Logan Paul’s secret proposal to Nina Agdal reportedly goes wrong – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s secret proposal to Nina Agdal reportedly goes wrong Instagram: loganpaulYouTuber-turned-WWE wrestler Logan Paul reportedly proposed to his partner Nina Agdal, but their joyous moment took a turn as something went wrong. The influencer had a special weekend owing to his participation in WWE’s Money in the Bank event in London, as well as a personal achievement. After competing at the event in London, Logan went down on his knees to ask his girlfriend the question of a lifetime. The proposal took place in the setting of Lake Como, Italy, at Hotel Passalacqua. Few witnesses from the moment have revealed that the Sports Illustrated model had no idea this was coming and was thoroughly surprised, but it didn’t go off without a hitch. What went wrong with Logan’s unspoken proposal? The wonderful moment went a little sideways when the ring Paul got her did not fit her finger, according to the Daily Mail. As a result, there has been speculation that Nina is refusing to post about the engagement because of this incident. However, despite this, the duo were happy about things according to witnesses. Logan even called up his brother Jake with excitement. “Bro, you have a sister!” he apparently exclaimed after calling him. As per reports, there was also a cameraman who posed as a waiter at the proposal, seemingly for one of Logan’s upcoming videos. When did Logan and Nina meet? Logan and Nina have been together since May 2022 and they marked their first anniversary this year. The couple made their relationship official with a kiss at Novikov in London, in June 2022. However, the duo made their relationship Instagram official in December as the influencer shared a series of pictures with a caption reading, “Lucky me”. Meanwhile, Agdal went Instagram official with the WWE wrestler on New Year’s. She has since posted other pictures as well. It remains to be seen as to when, or if, they’ll go public with this reported engagement.

Logan Paul’s stalker hit with jail time and restraining order – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s stalker hit with jail time and restraining order The stalker who had trespassed upon popular YouTuber Logan Paul’s home back in February 2018 has now received jail time for repeated offenses. The trespasser, named Tahj Deondre Speight, has been hit with a 45-day jail sentence and will remain on probation for two years. Speight was caught illegally entering Paul’s home back in February by the YouTuber himself, who made a citizen’s arrest and subsequently filed a restraining order against the stalker due to fear of potential bodily injury. Logan also claimed that Speight had been seen at the home of his brother Jake in Match, where he had been also been arrested for trespassing. Logan even vlogged his initial encounter with the stalker, in which he admitted to being severely shaken up and scared that he and the others in his home could have been harmed. The incident had occurred shortly after Paul’s controversial trip to Japan, during which he recorded and uploaded a video of a deceased person in the country’s infamous Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’ Speight had since attempted to illegally access Logan’s home three more times in early June, where he allegedly claimed that he was the “Antichrist” when questioned by security personnel.

The Paul brothers will now feel safer that their encounters with the stalker are over, assuming that he does not break the terms of his probation.

Logan Paul’s rumored girlfriend Corinna Kopf in hot water for KSI Valentine’s Day ‘joke’ Logan Paul, KSI – YouTube / Corinna Kopf, InstagramInstagram model Corinna Kopf could be in hot water with her rumored boyfriend Logan Paul, after being involved in an incriminating series of social media interactions with YouTuber KSI. Kopf posted a now-deleted Tweet on Valentine’s Day alerting KSI that she was in London – complete with a red heart emoji. That wasn’t all; KSI appeared to respond to Kopf’s Tweet in his Instagram story, writing out a long post that may have been directed at the model. “You keep me going when I feel lost,” KSI wrote. “…sometimes we fight, sometimes we argue, but in the end, we always stay in each other’s arms. I love you C ♥” Read More: ‘Fresh Prince’ actor Alfonso Ribeiro’s Fortnite dance emote lawsuit gets surprising update – Kopf’s alleged interaction with KSI wasn’t well received by Logan Paul’s good friend and fellow ‘imPaulsive’ podcast host, Mike ‘Hey Big Mike’ Majlak, who retweeted Kopf’s Tweet with a scathing caption. “This is the most petty shit I’ve ever seen in my damn life,” Majlack said of the post. “Seek help.” However, Logan Paul had a rather confusing reaction to the drama, merely ‘liking’ Kopf’s Tweet in response. yeah it was a bad joke, silly me https://t.co/N4OSeblqfZ — Pouty Girl (@CorinnaKopf) February 14, 2019 Kopf later explained the interaction as a “bad joke” – much to fans’ confusion.

Logan Paul’s rumored girlfriend Corinna Kopf reacts to “going gay” controversy – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s rumored girlfriend Corinna Kopf reacts to “going gay” controversy With controversial YouTuber Logan Paul being caught up in yet another controversy, it looks as though he’s gotten a bit of support from his rumored girlfriend, Corinna Kopf. Paul’s latest bit of controversy stems from comments he made on the January 9 episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast where he claimed that he would “go gay for a month” as part of his New Years Resolutions. On the January 21 episode of his podcast, Paul brought on LGBTQ activist Josh Seefried to have a discussion on the matter, with Paul reaffirming his stance and saying that he thinks “being gay is cool.” Seefried pushed back against Paul’s comments in a way that no guest on the ‘imPaulsive’ podcast has done so far, ending things by telling Paul to “do better” and use his platform to help LGBTQ rights organizations. Despite the pushback from Seefried, Paul looks to still have the support of his rumored girlfriend Corinna Kopf, who liked a Tweet posted by Paul’s podcast cohost Mike ‘HeyBigMike’ Majlak calling out Paul’s detractors. .@LoganPaul makes a mistake: *ENTIRE TWITTER WORLD EXPLODES*@LoganPaul clarifies his stance and has a meaningful conversation about a relevant topic: *TIME WILL TELL* My guess is… *CRICKETS* — Mike Majlak (@mikemajlak) January 21, 2019 While simply liking a Tweet isn’t exactly the most glowing endorsement that Paul could have hoped for from Kopf, giving they’ve yet to publicly confirm their relationship, it’s certainly in line with their previous interactions. The continued denials of their relationship come even after the two were spotted together at a Los Angeles Lakers game on January 14. Logan Paul might continue catching flak for just about anything he does, but it seems as though he won’t be losing the support of Kopf anytime soon.

Logan Paul’s PRIME gets seal of approval from his WWE boss Triple H – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s PRIME gets seal of approval from his WWE boss Triple H WWE/YouTube: LadBibleTVLogan Paul’s WWE boss, Triple H, has given his seal of approval to his PRIME Hydration drinks by saying it beats out some UK alternatives. PRIME Hydration, Logan Paul and KSI’s new drink company has been skyrocketing ever since it was launched by the YouTubers at the start of 2022. Check out the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Amazon While it has been well stocked across the United States, the PRIME drinks have been incredibly difficult to come by in the United Kingdom. Some ASDA stores have even limited how many that customers can buy, and there have been claims that some stock has been kept by employees to be sold at a marked-up price outside of work. Both Logan and KSI are hardly pictured without one these days, with Logan even taking his into the world of WWE. His boss Triple H has even given it a try, and the WWE legend is a fan. Triple H tries Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration drink and is a fan The King of Kings appeared on LadBible’s ‘Snack Wars’ series, which pits US snacks against their counterparts from the UK. In this episode, Logan’s Icepop flavor of PRIME was up against the Lucozade Original, with HHH scoring the round in favor of Logan’s drink. “I will admit, this does taste a little medicinal. It’s like drinking cough syrup, but the fact that it doesn’t have gas in it, winner, Prime,” the Cerebal Assassin said. Though, the new head of WWE creative did question Logan’s loyalty to actually drinking his own drink. “I have noticed Logan holding PRIME a lot. I have not noticed Logan drinking PRIME a lot, I don’t know if that’s just when I’m looking, but that has been something I have noticed,” he added. Timestamp of 2:30 While he appears to be a fan of the sports drink, we’d bet that if he ever appears on camera in WWE again, HHH will stick to spitting his water in the air rather than PRIME. Though, it’s a solid seal of approval for the Prime brand as its massive boom in popularity continues. If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.

Logan Paul’s response video hints at further family dysfunction – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s response video hints at further family dysfunction YouTuber Logan Paul uploaded a response video to Shane Dawson’s docuseries, which entertained the probability that both Paul brothers could be sociopaths. Logan defended his credibility in his response, and explained the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths – terms that Dawson appeared to use synonymously in his series. However, Paul likewise hinted at further discord in his family, and claimed that he didn’t even like his own brother. “I get that not everyone likes my brother,” Paul said. “Me included. I mean, the Paul family is currently surrounded by controversy – a fault of our own.” Paul went on to further detail their relationship, but backtracked on his previous statement, instead claiming that he ‘loved’ Jake, but doesn’t speak to him as much as he feels he ought to. “As much as I love Jake, we don’t talk like normal brothers do,” he admitted. “Our family is a bit, uh… cuckoo, if you couldn’t tell.” Paul’s comments follow H3H3’s Ethan Klein’s podcast, where the YouTuber divulged a private conversation he had with Jake Paul that revealed the toxic nature of the brothers’ relationship. “‘Honestly, it’s really bad,” Klein recalled Jake saying. “‘We honestly really hate each other.’” Paul family patriarch Greg Paul has likewise been in the news for a controversy surrounding his possible involvement with underage girls. While Greg has vehemently denied the claims, hackers continue to threaten more leaks of potentially sensitive material. The next episode in Dawson’s series will likely address the family’s dynamics, as hinted at by its title, ‘Understanding the Family.’

Logan Paul’s pet pig allegedly abandoned and left with “life-threatening” issues – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s pet pig allegedly abandoned and left with “life-threatening” issues Twitter: Logan PaulThe Gentle Barn animal sanctuary posted a video of a pig they rescued online, with speculation now arising that the pet pig in question was initially owned by influencer Logan Paul and had been “discarded” by the content creator and left to suffer severe “trauma.” This news comes from a recent video posted by The Gentle Barn animal sanctuary, the organization posting on their official Instagram and TikTok accounts how they recently rescued a pig that they claim “was purchased originally from a breeder by an influencer”. It is now being reported and speculated that the influencer that The gentle Barn is referring to is none other than Logan Paul. The Gentle Barn is an American nonprofit animal sanctuary located in Santa Clarita, California. They rescue animals and post online about the journey of restoring their rescues to a healthy standard. This speculation that their recent rescue pig is Logan Paul’s comes after the company wrote that “Pearl was found alone in a field next to another pig who had passed away.” Pearl being the name of Logan Paul’s pet pig. However, at the time of writing, this is yet to be confirmed by Paul himself or other sources close to the content creator. The post from The Gentle Barn then went on to explain how the pig they found had “tattered ears and a potentially life-threatening infection in her uterus that has since been healed. She’s clearly been through so much trauma that we can’t begin to imagine, but she’s now safe with us at The Gentle Barn.” The Gentle Barn then ended their message by highlighting the importance of taking care of these animals and that they should not be purchased for “clout online” and “discarded” when they “inevitably grow very large and have many unexpected needs.” However, it appears Pearl is now healthy and in good hands, with The Gentle Barn confirming that “we know her life is now filled with friends, nutritious foods, the highest quality care, and so much love.” As to whether or not Paul was the most recent owner of Pearl, however, is unclear. While the YouTuber was evidently responsible for the pet pig across at least 2019-2020, no further posts of the two together were shared beyond that window. It’s possible Paul sold or simply gave Pearl to another owner that then abandoned it and left it in the state The Gentle Barn discovered in 2023. As Paul nor his management team is yet to address this story, we’ll be sure to keep you updated if any more information about this incident is confirmed.

Logan Paul’s next WWE feud could be against Universal champion Roman Reigns – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s next WWE feud could be against Universal champion Roman Reigns WWEThe WWE may be teasing Logan Paul’s next big feud could be with the big dog himself, Universal champion Roman Reigns. It comes after Paul’s well-received debut at Summerslam, where he defeated The Miz. Since signing with the WWE in June 2022, influencer Logan Paul has shocked the WWE community and industry with his dedication to the role. Many notable figures in the wrestling community have praised Paul for his work so far, including Roman Reigns. After defeating The Miz at Summerslam, many were speculating who Logan Paul would face off against now that his storyline with The Miz is over. Based off of some online discourse, it appears Paul might be getting the chance to face off against the actual face of the brand. During a recent episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, the unified WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns featured as a guest. During the conversation, Paul spoke about the potential of the two facing off in a match. “You put me against Roman Reigns right now, I think I would win. Me vs Roman Reigns one-on-one, that’s my match.” Following these comments Paul Heyman — Roman Reigns’ manager and mouthpiece — posted on Twitter that he is planning on “bestowing wisdom” onto Logan Paul. Paul himself then retweeted this post, asking Heyman what his plan is for “handling” the content creator turned WWE wrestler. While nothing is set in stone, fans are speculating that these comments are laying down the foundations for a potential fight between the two. It may just turn into a regular match or this could end up being the next major feud for both wrestlers and be Logan’s first title match. For those interested in seeing how this plays out, be sure to tune in to next week’s episode of Monday night RAW.

Logan Paul’s nose piercing goes horribly wrong – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s nose piercing goes horribly wrong Logan Paul, YouTubeYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Logan Paul decided to take his look to the next level with a trendy septum piercing — but it didn’t turn out the way he expected. While Logan Paul has been known to change up his appearance in humorous and unexpected ways for vlogs in the past, his latest initiative involved some serious pain. His most recent vlog, uploaded on April 6, showed the star undergoing a septum piercing, seemingly at the behest of his little brother Jake Paul, as evidenced by the video’s title “I hate Jake Paul.” As expected, the piercing made Paul tear up, something that’s bound to happen since one’s nose is connected to their sinuses — but that wasn’t the most “emotional” part of his piercing journey, by far. After having the ring inserted, the YouTuber claimed that the piercing was so painful he needed to pull it out straight away. “I have to take this out,” he admitted after taking a peek at his new look in a mirror. “It hurts too bad. “Yeah, right now. This hurts so f**king bad!” Unfortunately, Logan couldn’t “send it” successfully, and even pranked his audience by having little bro Jake appear to rip out the ring on the count of three. Thankfully, neither of them tore out the ring by hand; instead, Logan relied on a trusty pair of bolt cutters to remove the ball bearing on one end of the ring, the sharp sound of which sent him into a mild shock. With the bearing removed, Logan successfully took the ring out of his nose, breathing a hefty sigh of relief as he did so. (Segment begins at 4:17 for mobile viewers) “Bro, I look like you after your fight against Deji,” he joked, referencing Jake’s infamously bloody nose after his initial boxing match with YouTube rival Deji Olatunji in August 2018. Pain aside, it seems that Paul’s short stint with a septum ring was short-lived — as was his emo makeover a few months prior in an attempt to recreate a viral meme that claimed to be him, from the past. For now, it looks like Logan is done with nose piercings, at least for the foreseeable future.

Logan Paul’s new ‘Airplane Mode’ movie will feature your favorite social media stars – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s new ‘Airplane Mode’ movie will feature your favorite social media stars IMDB / J-14Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul is set to star in upcoming comedy film ‘Airplane Mode,’ which features a star studded cast of the internet’s favorite social media celebrities. Paul’s movie includes such personalities as YouTuber Casey Neistat, Vine star King Bach, and even Logan’s little brother, Jake Paul, among other notable celebs. The film’s synopsis is as follows: while en route to a social media convention in Australia, Logan Paul’s plane goes haywire, after passengers collectively refuse to place their cellphones in airplane mode. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5617916/mediaviewer/rm3257665536Amidst the ensuing hilarity and confusion erupt such sub-plots as Logan facing off with a “Russian psychopath,” helping his foreign exchange brother lose his virginity, and overcoming his debilitating fear of flying. The film is set to premiere at the Mammoth Film Festival on February 8, 2019. This movie marks the first of Paul’s 2019 projects, which include an animated series, a television show, and even new music, which Paul claimed could be a bit experimental in nature. Paul’s appearance in ‘Airplane Mode’ marks a major success in light of his previous scandal in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest,’ where he filmed the body of a suicide victim for a vlog. Although the incident was met with intense backlash worldwide, Paul has managed to bounce back from the debacle, becoming one of YouTube’s highest-earning creators of 2018 (according to Forbes’ list on the subject). Paul is also set to appear in the upcoming remake of 1983 classic Valley Girl, which was postponed following Paul’s ‘Suicide Forest’ scandal in 2018.

Logan Paul’s new YouTube Red movie gets the greenlight – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s new YouTube Red movie gets the greenlight Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul has gotten the greenlight for his YouTube Red movie, titled ‘The Thinning: New World Order.’ Paul announced the film in a recent Tweet, where he simply wrote, “Surprise 😈” The Tweet linked to an advertisement for the movie, which is a direct sequel to Paul’s first movie, “The Thinning.” The original film was likewise a YouTube Red exclusive. The film was put on hold and allegedly shelved following Paul’s controversial vlog in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest’ in early 2018, which got him suspended from YouTube’s premium advertisement program. While the platform put the Thinning sequel on hold, the project is now fully a-go, as YouTube revealed in a statement following its release. “The entire cast and crew worked extremely hard to complete this film last year,” a representative of the company stated in response to The Verge. “In fairness to all of them and the fans who have been asking for the sequel, we decided to release The Thinning: New World Order.” However, YouTube’s decision to greenlight the film hasn’t gone without criticism, as PewDiePie’s YouTube Originals series, ‘Scare PewDiePie,’ was completely canceled following a controversy after the YouTuber used anti-semitic language. The Thinning films follow a dystopian premise, where the general population is controlled through a high-school aptitude test. As can be guessed, those who fail the test are then executed, leading to the series’ main source of conflict. The trailer for The Thinning: New World Order is currently #8 on YouTube’s Trending page, and stars both Logan Paul and Peyton List.

Logan Paul & KSI’s Prime Hydration “forever chemicals” lawsuit explained – Dexerto
Logan Paul & KSI’s Prime Hydration “forever chemicals” lawsuit explained PrimePrime Hydration is facing a lawsuit over the alleged presence of “forever chemicals” in their products. Here’s everything we know about the chemicals and the lawsuit. In August 2023, a lawsuit filed against Prime alleging that it contains per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFAS) was brought to the public. Studies have shown that PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” accumulate in the body over time and do not break down. This can have adverse effects on both the human body and the environment. The studies conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency state that these chemicals can cause reproductive harm, reduce immune system response, and increase the risk of higher cholesterol levels and obesity. These chemicals are lurking in food packaging, drinking water, personal care products, and even landfills. This means coming in contact with PFAS is not really that uncommon. Milberg, the company behind the lawsuit against Prime, states that only the hydration formula’s grape flavor has been tested for these chemicals. Other flavors associated with Prime, and the Prime Energy drink, are not mentioned under the tests present in the lawsuit. The most recent movement in the lawsuit occurred during the motion hearing on April 18. This was when the official documents regarding the lawsuit were uploaded to the public. These documents outline the claims that Prime is making about their drinks and how these PFAS can cause significant damage to the human body. Logan Paul, one of the founders of Prime Hydration, made a statement on TikTok about the current lawsuit. He gives insight into how Prime is created and distributed worldwide while allegedly disproving the claims against the company. This sparked plenty of discussion on social media with professional boxer Ryan Garcia even warning his audience about drinking Prime.

Logan Paul’s MMA debut could happen soon, but not in the UFC – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s MMA debut could happen soon, but not in the UFC YouTube: Showtime SportsBellator boss Scott Coker is open to having Logan Paul make his MMA debut with his promotion, suggesting there might be a few “interesting” fights for the YouTuber there. Logan Paul and his brother Jake have helped take YouTube boxing to the next level, stepping away from fighting fellow content creators and fighting actual athletes. Logan even went the distance with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in their controversial exhibition bout. The pair have also made it known that they’d consider swapping boxing’s squared circle for the octagon and get involved with some mixed martial arts. While UFC boss Dana White has constantly railed against the Paul’s fights, saying he wouldn’t be open to working with Jake, there are some MMA promotions that would welcome them with open arms, and have already spoken to Logan about it. That’s right, if Logan wants to get involved with MMA and the UFC won’t take him, well, Bellator will. Speaking to MMA Junkie, Bellator boss Scott Coker said he’d “absolutely” have Logan fight. “Listen, these kids are athletic,” Coker told MMA Junkie. “They’re getting better, but they have a good striking game with their hands. They have a good wrestling background and started learning jujitsu. We’d put them in there with people of their record and their experience level. “I think we’d have some really interesting fights. Let me tell you, everybody and their uncle will want to fight these guys. I’ve already been getting calls all day.” Coker said that while the Paul’s have signed up to fights on Showtime – Bellator’s partner – they aren’t signed up for MMA just yet. “They bring a lot of hype. They bring a lot to the game, and they create a lot of excitement,” Coker added. “Look at what they did for that exhibition with Floyd. It created a lot of excitement.” Prior to becoming a social media phenomenon, Logan was a talented wrestler, so already has some base for MMA. Whether he actually gets involved, though, remains to be seen.

Logan Pauls divides Twitter with his criticism of ‘NOPE’ movie – Dexerto
Logan Pauls divides Twitter with his criticism of ‘NOPE’ movie Logan Paul / NopeLogan Paul has taken to Twitter to reveal his criticism of the recently released film, Nope and has yet again divided the internet. Nope was released in Theatres on July 22nd and seems to be a box office hit. It boasts A-list actors, fantastic visuals, and a complicated storyline that may have hit close to home for some. Blatantly calling out people risking their lives for ‘that shot’ putting lives in danger just to get views, Nope is a love or hate film for many. For Youtuber, Wrestler, and social media star Logan Paul, this film was definitely not one for the history books. He disliked it so much he took to Twitter to explain why he thought “NOPE is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time”. The bold statements that followed divided Twitter’s comment section, leaving some interesting discussions and a few hilarious comments. Logan Paul took to Twitter and formed a thread regarding his confusion and dislike for the new sci-fi horror release. However, the comments section began ripping into Paul’s criticisms, stating the irony behind him criticizing a film that essentially explores what made Paul famous. Writer, Richard Newby commented that “this is ironically hilarious because the movie is in part, thematically, about him and people like him”. Many agreed, hinting back to the controversial video posted by Paul where he filmed a Japanese forest nicknamed the ‘Suicide Forest’. The actions called out in the film are ones he seems to have taken himself in his rise to fame. Others chose to question if he was even watching the right film, with many commenting that it may not have been an easy film to watch but the plot is easy enough to understand. In his Twitter thread, Paul explored the plot holes and the questionable storyline, which some commenters inherently agreed with. It seems this film might not be for everyone but could be the slap in the face some creators need before they put themselves in danger for that ‘Opera shot’.

Logan Paul and WWE tease WrestleMania 38 outfit ahead of event – Dexerto
Logan Paul and WWE tease WrestleMania 38 outfit ahead of event YouTube: WWEIn the lead-up to his fight against Rey and Dom Mysterio at WrestleMania 38, Logan Paul and WWE offered a sneak-peak at his in-ring attire, including boots, pants, and potentially a mask. On February 22, WWE revealed Logan Paul is teaming up with The Miz to take on Rey Mysterio and Dom Mysterio at WrestleMania 38. It will be the first time he’s had a sanctioned match under the brand. He locked horns with them during a brief tussle on Monday Night Raw on March 14, and his in-ring performance was well-received — a stark contrast to when he was booed out of the stadium after cutting a promotion. As the event draws closer, Logan and WWE have been dropping breadcrumbs on social media to build hype for his fight, including a sneak-peek at what he’s going to wear, and it fits into his theme as ‘The Maverick.’ Logan was the first to offer a glimpse. He posted a sketched image of his outfit on Twitter, saying: “On April 2, I compete at WrestleMania in front of 100,000 people. This is a rough sketch of my wrestling outfit.” The sketch reveals that his outfit will be yellow and black, a color combination he’s worn in the WWE before. However, rather than being casual streetwear, it’s comprised of wrestling tights and knee-high boots. On April 2, I compete at Wrestlemania in front of 100,000 people. This is a rough sketch of my wrestling outfit 😏 pic.twitter.com/L9YvBUCcJ4 — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) March 21, 2022 Shortly after, The Miz unmasked Rey Mysterio on Monday Night Raw and kept it for himself. He challenged Logan Paul to wear it. “Logan, this is all yours,” he said. “I dare you to wear it next week on Monday Night Raw.” Since that will be the last show before WrestleMania 38 kicks off, there’s a good chance he might wear it at the event, too. After all, it does tie into the yellow and black theme and will be sure to rustle some feathers. WrestleMania kicks off at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on April 2. If Logan’s match goes well, there’s a good chance we’ll see him again, especially since he said he’s considering a full-time career with WWE. “I think it’s up to the fans,” he said. “I think it’s up to the fans to see if they agree with me thinking I’m good.” He’s done a good job of winning them over so far, but we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Logan Paul’s coach Shannon Briggs tricked into insulting himself in prank – Dexerto
Logan Paul’s coach Shannon Briggs tricked into insulting himself in prank Professional boxer and Logan Paul trainer Shannon Briggs got tricked into insulting himself in a video aimed at rival Viddal Riley by British influencer Niko Omilana. Hype is growing quickly for the biggest YouTube boxing match of the year, with JJ ‘KSI‘ Olatunji and Logan Paul set to renew hostilities inside the squared circle on November 9. The bad blood doesn’t just exist between the YouTubers though, with Briggs and Riley, who are both professional boxers helping coach the pair, continually firing shots at each other, with Shannon ‘The Cannon’ desperate to get his hands on the 22-year-old. Briggs, who has become a meme within the boxing community for his constant shouts of “Let’s go champ,” while cornering Logan Paul has challenged Riley on multiple occasions to step inside the ring, something which the British cruiserweight seems uninterested in, and when placed in front of a camera on November 7, he took the opportunity to fire shots at his nemesis once again. Unfortunately for the former world champion, the camera was in the hands of YouTuber Niko Omilana, who tricked Briggs into using disparaging terms about himself while thinking that he was actually praising himself in front of Viddal. With the clip immediately posted on Instagram and Twitter, it didn’t take long for Briggs to find out the meaning behind what he had said, messaging Omilana saying: “You had me (saying) something bad, not knowing what I was saying. Not cool. See you soon.” The YouTuber didn’t seem overly concerned by the message though, simply sending back “Let’s go champ,” to the two-time world heavyweight champion. 500Both Riley and Briggs will be in attendance on Saturday night, when YouTube boxing heads to the Staples Center as KSI and Logan Paul will run back their 2018 fight which ended in a majority draw. Whether the two professional boxers in each YouTuber’s corner will square off remains to be seen, but Briggs will definitely be more careful about what he says in front of a camera in future.

Their last tag team match was at Wrestlemania 38, where they took on father/son duo Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Paul and The Miz did manage to secure the win, with fans taking to social media to express their shock and respect for what was a very impressive showing from Paul. After the final bell rang out, however, The Miz turned on Paul and began to attack him. After the attack, Paul’s post-match interview was an explosive string of insults and expletives. So while the two may be teaming up again for SummerSlam, the chances of a potential feud between them is quite high. SummerSlam could see Paul seek revenge on The Miz, causing the two to then battle it out at a later date. .@LoganPaul and @mikethemiz at #SummerSlam?! #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/86qTBghZzf — WWE (@WWE) June 28, 2022 Given how much heat Paul was getting during his last stint with the WWE, this could be a chance for The Miz to have another run as a face, or at least, take on the role against Paul’s annoying heel character. While his SummerSlam appearance has been confirmed, nothing else has been said about whether he will appear on the WWE before the PPV. When is SummerSlam 2022 taking place? SummerSlam 2022 will be taking place on July 30 and will be the first time in the PPV’s history that it does not take place in August. The event will be held at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. So far, the biggest match to be announced for the PPV is Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Last Man Standing Match.

Logan Paul teases WWE grudge match against The Miz after WrestleMania betrayal – Dexerto
Logan Paul teases WWE grudge match against The Miz after WrestleMania betrayal Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY SportsAfter being betrayed by The Miz while celebrating their tag-team victory at WWE WrestleMania 38, Logan Paul hinted a grudge match against his newfound enemy could be in the works. Logan’s stint in the WWE universe has been gaining traction ever since he appeared at WrestleMania 37 and SummerSlam in 2021. It culminated in him starring in a tag-team match with The Miz at WrestleMania 38. However, although he and The Miz won the match, The Miz’s ego imploded after witnessing Logan’s impressive performance. He betrayed Logan by giving him a Skull Crushing Finale before storming out of the stadium. Logan has remained tight-lipped about his next appearance ever since. However, that changed on May 27. He broke his silence on social media and shared a video of The Miz talking about the incident with Jimmy Kimmel. In the video, Jimmy Kimmel asked The Miz why he decided to betray Logan. “Logan Paul has a huge fan base. People that love him,” said The Miz. “But he also has people who want to see his face hit the mat, and I am a person that gives people what they want.” Logan clapped back by teasing a potential grudge match. “I’m coming for you,” he said. He also slammed The Miz for being “stupid” and “dumb” and threatened to “f**k him up.” So, it seems like a showdown is inevitable. Initially, the WWE Universe had mixed opinions about Logan stepping foot into their world. However, since then, he’s earned their praise and has even exceeded the expectations of other wrestlers, including Roman Reigns. Given how well-received he’s been, Logan is even considering taking up a full-time career with the WWE, and if that does come to fruition, his grudge match against The Miz could be the first of many in a longstanding feud.

Logan Paul would easily beat Paddy Pimblett claims UFC star Jorge Masvidal – Dexerto
Logan Paul would easily beat Paddy Pimblett claims UFC star Jorge Masvidal YouTube: Logan PaulUFC star Jorge Masvidal believes Logan Paul would easily beat Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett if the pair actually got to square off inside the Octagon. As his brother Jake has continued making waves in the world of boxing, Logan Paul has started doing some other things instead. The YouTuber has been out of action since going the distance with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in their highly-anticipated exhibition bout, but has been trying his hand at professional wrestling. There have been rumors that Logan would join Jake in returning to the boxing ring in August, however, the 27-year-old has also been tipped to get involved with Mixed Martial Arts and possibly the UFC. After speaking with Dana White on his imPaulsive Podcast, Logan named rising UFC star Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett as his dream opponent, and Jorge Masvidal believes he’s got a good chance at winning that fight. Masvidal, who has lost his last three UFC bouts, joined Logan on his podcast to talk about his future in fighting, potentially squaring off against Jake Paul, and everything in between. With the conversation coming to a close, ‘Gamebred’ was asked how he felt Logan sized up against Paddy and whether or not he’d been impressed with the Scouser. “I think he’s entertaining as f**k, I think he’s wild, but from the skillset right now I don’t see him being world champion, but that could change,” he said. “I don’t think it (his skillset) is at the top, where it should be right now. “Yeah, f**k yes (Logan beats him),” Masvidal added. “He’s (Logan) has got the wrestling bro. English people can’t wrestle bro.” Timestamp of 1:39:44 While Logan has been pushing for the fight to happen, there have been some doubts about it taking place, however. UFC contender Sean O’Malley praised Logan’s chances inside the Octagon, but stated that the promotion wouldn’t risk Pimblett’s rising stock by putting them in a fight. Though, never say never in the fight game, crazier things have happened before.

Logan Paul wins WWE WrestleMania 38 debut despite tag team betrayal – Dexerto
Logan Paul wins WWE WrestleMania 38 debut despite tag team betrayal Twitter: WWELogan Paul was victorious in his WWE WrestleMania 38 debut against Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio, but his tag-team partner, The Miz, turned on him when they were celebrating. After months of build-up and hype, Logan Paul and The Miz’s tag-team match against Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38 finally happened, and it ended in chaos despite them winning the match. Logan walked out looking like the perfect heel, wearing the outfit he teased, a pair of sunglasses, and his six million-dollar Pokemon card around his neck. Then, he tossed the sunglasses into the crowd, and the match was underway. .@LoganPaul wearing the most expensive @Pokemon card in the world right now at #WrestleMania! 🤑🤑🤑 pic.twitter.com/ZnCTZD8ln9 — WWE (@WWE) April 3, 2022 Logan started off on the sidelines but was tagged in early. He immediately showed off his athletic prowess, leaping over Rey Mysterio multiple times before doing the splits. However, he got kicked in the head and tagged out. His next stints went much better. He power slammed Dominik Mysterio into the canvas, pulled off a Three Amigos on Rey Mysterio, and landed a frog splash from the top rope. But it all went downhill from there. Not only did he receive some punishment, including multiple frog splashes and a 619, but The Miz also betrayed him. He snuck into the ring and sealed the win before turning on Logan and delivering Skull Crushing Finale. WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS?!?!?!?!?!?@mikethemiz just gave @LoganPaul a Skull Crushing Finale following their victory at #WrestleMania!!! pic.twitter.com/8Df7TIqcgJ — WWE (@WWE) April 3, 2022 Logan regained his senses shortly after and looked angry and shocked as he watched The Miz walk out of the arena, gloating about what he’d done. So, although he managed to win on his debut, he lost his tag-team partner. The two of them look like they’re set to feud in the coming weeks and months — especially considering Logan has said he’s considering performing for the WWE full-time. We’ll have to wait and see how far it goes.

Logan Paul finally wins over WWE fans with hilarious viral TikTok reference – Dexerto
Logan Paul finally wins over WWE fans with hilarious viral TikTok reference WWELogan Paul surprised WWE fans with an unexpected appearance on Friday Night SmackDown, and his hilarious reference to a viral TikTok video convinced fans he’s the perfect heel. Despite showing the world he’s a formidable boxer against Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul has been making ground as the next big thing in WWE – which is closer to his roots as an amateur wrestler back in high school. He debuted on Friday Night SmackDown and followed it up with appearances at WrestleMania, Monday Night Raw, and SummerSlam. And he surprised fans with an unexpected fifth appearance on Friday Night SmackDown on September 3. The hostile crowd greeted him with a chorus of boos, which is no surprise since he’s playing a heel. However, the way he handled himself, along with his reference to a hilarious TikTok video, convinced fans that he’s perfect for the role. Logan interrupted a confrontation between Baron Corbin and Kevin Owens, shaking hands with the former and taking his side. Corbin explained that they’re on good terms now despite Paul insulting him at SummerSlam. Owens has been on bad terms with Paul after giving him Stone Cold Stunner at WrestleMania. And he added more salt in his wounds, describing him as “one of the most self-centered, egotistical, delusional useless pieces of trash ever to step foot in a WWE ring.” However, just when they were about to square off and trade blows, Corbin struck Owens with a cheap shot and choke slammed him into the canvas. Paul picked up the microphone and said, “You’re not that guy, pal! You’re not that guy!” – a reference to the viral TikTok video of a man aggressively yelling at a teenager over them wearing a face mask in a grocery store. WWE fans praised Paul for his performance, claiming he’s “entertaining” and an “amazing heel” regardless of how they feel about him outside of the ring. Based on that reaction and the fact he’s been making more and more appearances lately, it looks like he could be transitioning from a boxer to a full-fledged WWE superstar. However, nothing has been made official yet.

Logan Paul wins WWE return with SummerSlam performance and fans love it – Dexerto
Logan Paul wins WWE return with SummerSlam performance and fans love it Screenshot via WWELogan Paul made his return to action in the WWE at SummerSlam and the YouTuber managed to maintain his perfect record by getting revenge over his former tag team partner The Miz. As he’s spread his wings beyond YouTube, Logan Paul has popped up in a number of interesting places – including scoring an exhibition draw in a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather and signing with the WWE. The Maverick first appeared in WWE back in 2021 as a part of a WrestleMania storyline with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but things didn’t go too well for Logan as he had ended up being Stunnered in the middle of the ring. That didn’t deter him from doing further things with the WWE, however. A year later and Logan made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38, tagging with veteran superstar The Miz against The Mysterios – with the YouTuber scoring the win. Though, in true pro wrestling style, his tag team partner turned his back on Logan and started a heated rivalry. Logan Paul wins WWE return over The Miz Now, a few months on from scoring a win at WrestleMania and Logan has doubled his win tally in the WWE after beating The Miz at SummerSlam on July 30. After teasing some new moves, the imPaulsive Podcast host busted out some high-flying maneuvers, including a frog splash from the top rope through the announcer’s desk. That, as you may expect, has gone pretty viral. Logan eventually scored the win over his rival by using The Miz’s own finishing move – the Skull Crushing Finale – against him. All in all, it was a pretty impressive showing from Logan and he even seemed to have the fans who were in the arena on his side, even though they’ve been booing him for months. The YouTuber’s performances earned some rave reviews on social media too. “Logan Paul is incredible in WWE,” tweeted MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. “That was impressive,” added WWE legend Mick Foley. Logan has signed a multi-year deal with the WWE, so he’ll likely be back in the ring before long. Seeing as it is pro wrestling, The Miz will probably want to enact revenge on the YouTuber, so expect them to come to blows again soon.

Logan Paul explains why he fought Jake’s manager before AnEsonGib bout – Dexerto
Logan Paul explains why he fought Jake’s manager before AnEsonGib bout YouTube: Logan PaulLogan Paul has revealed why he got into a heated scrap with his brother’s manager just hours before Jake Paul stepped foot inside the boxing ring and blitzed through AnEsonGib. On January 30, the day of Jake’s boxing match against AnEsonGib, Logan was casually talking with his brother in their apartment before the big showdown. With professional experience under his belt, Logan was giving a quick pep talk to hype his brother up when suddenly, all hell appeared broke loose. Stepping in to stop the commotion, Logan was swept into the midst of an all-out brawl. “Get the f*** off me. Don’t argue with me on fight day bi***,” Team 10 member and ‘Jake’s right-hand man,’ Arman ‘Armani’ Izadi yelled after getting in a heated exchange right behind the Paul brothers. “That can not be happening on fight day. Anything to drain Jake’s energy or stress him out is no f***ing bueno,” Logan said. The root of the issue appeared to stem from Jake’s food on the day of the fight. “They’ve all been slacking,” he expressed. “They came with my food an hour late.” As a direct result, Armani was furious with the team member who brought the food behind schedule and decided to take his frustration out with physical force. After pushing and shoving his way through others to get to the culprit behind the delayed food, Armani knocked the camera out of a videographer’s hand before attacking another member of the team at random. Instantly stepping in to stop him, Logan jumped on Armani’s back, flattened him out on the ground and sinched in a choke until he was tapping repeatedly. It seemed as though that was the end of the altercation and Armani was cooler for the rest of the lead up to the boxing match, yet Paul was adamant that it shouldn’t have ever happened in the first place. While Jake secured a first-round stoppage victory in the January 30 bout, he was quick to call out KSI in the post-fight interview in order to line up an eventual boxing match and try to avenge his brother. Meanwhile just hours after the win, Logan came face to face with Antonio Brown at the after-party, indicating that he could be the next in line for a celebrity scrap.

Logan Paul wins first WWE championship title against wrestling legend Rey Mysterio – Dexerto
Logan Paul wins first WWE championship title against wrestling legend Rey Mysterio Twitter: LoganPaulLogan Paul has done it, cementing his name in WWE history after winning the title and landing a brass knuckles punch on wrestling legend Rey Mysterio. Logan Paul has proven himself, the influencer-turned-wrestler taking home his first-ever United States Championship in WWE. Returning to wrestling with the single goal of dethroning Rey Mysterio, Paul made his appearance at the Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Despite having had only eight career pro-wrestling matches under his belt beforehand, Paul was able to take home the belt with the help of a pair of brass knuckles — an addition to the match that might not have been entirely legal. The brass knuckles had been handed to Paul by a member of his entourage, only for them to be knocked out of his hands after Mysterio noticed. LWO partner Santos Escobar was able to chase away Paul’s entourage but failed to remove the brass knuckles from the edge of the ring, allowing Paul an opportunity to steal the win. Unaware that the knuckles had been reclaimed into Paul’s possession, Mysterio looked on course to successfully defend his title after pulling off his iconic 619 finishing move on the YouTuber. However, Mysterio was caught with a brutal punch in the midst of detonating a Springboard Senton on the 28-year-old. The final blow struck, and Paul pinned Mysterio before being handed the belt. Mysterio was evidently not impressed that Paul’s win was aided by brass knuckles, telling him, “You know what you did.” But Paul’s high spirits could not be dulled as he labeled the win a “bucket list” moment. “I’ve been seeing a lot of you saying I have been spoon-fed; that this title was given to me, that I haven’t earned it, let’s get one thing straight, I’m from Cleveland, everything is earned, nothing is given,” Paul said after the match. “I work harder than your minds can even comprehend, I do more in 12 hours than you do in 12 months, my blueprint cannot be duplicated, my pace is unmatched.” Promising that winning the WWE belt was “just the beginning,” Paul stated, “I’m not playing the same game as you all, I’ve beaten the Matrix, I am the architect.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Logan Paul wants to team up with this YouTube rapper to roast KSI – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants to team up with this YouTube rapper to roast KSI Hollywood Life / KSI, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul revealed that he hopes to collaborate with YouTube rapper ‘Quadeca,’ after the artist created a scathing diss track toward social media star KSI. Paul revealed his plans to team up with the rapper during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast on December 6, which featured special guest and fellow YouTuber Deji – KSI’s little brother. Paul claimed that he’d approached Quadeca in the hopes of creating yet another diss track to flex on his boxing opponent, who, according to Paul, has yet to schedule a firm date for their rematch in 2019. However, Quadeca’s mother had apparently denied him the chance to collab with Paul, claiming that he’d already won his beef with KSI. “He said his mom won’t let him do it,” Paul admitted. “His mom said that it would be like taking a guy out of a coffin and slapping him in the face.” Whether Paul’s statement is true or not pales in the face of KSI’s current beef with Deji, which has now involved their entire family, according to statements from both brothers. Although KSI initially took issue with his brother exposing his bank records during a video (and even claiming that he’d gotten a girl pregnant), their feud escalated after Deji published a diss track on his brother, going on to air out their grudge on Paul’s podcast. While KSI created a Tweet apologizing to Deji for blocking him on social media, he has since deleted the post (and the following apology video), and the brothers continue to quarrel in what has been called a “genuine, sensitive family issue.”

Logan Paul weighs in on Harry Styles Vogue dress controversy – Dexerto
Logan Paul weighs in on Harry Styles Vogue dress controversy YouTube: Impaulsive, Harry StylesLogan Paul has hit out at critics of Harry Styles over his ‘controversial’ Vogue cover, which sees the former One Direction man wearing a dress in a field. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Styles has always been happy to stretch the boundaries of social norms with his fashion choices, and it’s something that he’s regularly drawn negative reactions for doing. That said, he elicited even more negative press than usual, after his appearance in a dress on the cover of Vogue, causing many people to question his manliness, and masculinity in general. One person that’s firmly on Styles’ side of the debate, though, is none other than YouTube sensation Logan Paul, who has hit out at critics of Harry’s following the controversy. https://t.co/uf2ZP81TPZ pic.twitter.com/rYbAigFTtX — Harry Styles. (@Harry_Styles) November 13, 2020 During an episode of Logan’s Impaulsive podcast, the Vogue cover was brought up, and Logan made it clear from the offset what his thoughts were. “What a f**king G… He don’t give a f**k,” Paul said of the popstar, which attracted some questioning from co-hosts Mike Majlak and George Janko. During the discussion, Logan questioned George’s statement that it’s “just not manly” for Styles to be wearing a dress, which Paul wasn’t a fan of, saying that he’s “all about challenging social norms.” Topic starts at 3:40 He continued: “What is manly to you? Is manly being comfortable in your own skin? And being comfortable with who you are, regardless of what people think about what you’re wearing?” There were definitely two sides when it came to this debate, and it follows a growing period of social justice conversations that Logan has been having throughout 2020, including with his attendance at Los Angeles protests in the summer. He subsequently condemned his brother Jake for his part in a looting scandal in Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s clear that Logan feels strongly about the controversy surrounding Harry Styles and his Vogue cover, and is trying to spread a more positive message about freedom of expression and, of course, what manliness really is all about.

Logan Paul reveals pitch to form WWE’s most despised tag team – Dexerto
Logan Paul reveals pitch to form WWE’s most despised tag team WWELogan Paul’s eventful WWE run has turned doubters to believers as far as his in-ring ability is concerned. Now, he wants to throw away what little goodwill he’s earned in the scene by teaming up with a notorious heel. When Logan Paul isn’t flogging Prime to anyone with eyes or challenging UFC champions to boxing matches, he’s making a name for himself in WWE. He’s actually a pretty impressive wrestler with two SummerSlam victories under his belt. Paul’s been part of some viral moments in his time with the company leading to a recent feud with Ricochet. Following his victory in that particular beef, Paul needs a new story to pursue in WWE and he has a fair idea. In an episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed his desire to enter the tag team division. To do this, he wants to form an alliance with the most hated man in the business today, hardened criminal Dominik Mysterio. Logan Paul’s pitch for the unholy alliance in WWE Dominik is the son of legendary luchador and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. His on-screen antics in the WWE had him attacking and disrespecting his esteemed father before long. As a result, the WWE universe loves to hate Dominik Mysterio and Logan Paul sees it as an opportunity. “Logan Paul, Dominik Mysterio, tag team,” Paul announced. “The most hated duo of all time, the most hated tag team partners in the WWE just crushing it.” It’s hard to imagine a figure in the WWE being more despised than Logan Paul but Dominik fits the bill. “Dominik can not get a word out. He lifts the microphone to his mouth and the whole arena boos,” Paul explained. If the two were to team up, Logan Paul would have his work cut out for him as the mouthpiece of the crew. It’s unknown if the alliance would cause such heat that even Paul couldn’t get a word in. Paul would also have to get around Mysterio’s stablemate and on-screen partner Rhea Ripley. The current WWE Women’s World Champion works very closely with Mysterio and the two are a major draw on Raw. Still, a Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio tag team would no doubt be fantastic TV. We’re just not sure if traditional speakers could handle the decibels of all those boos.

Logan Paul wants to slap Floyd Mayweather after knocking out 350-pound man – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants to slap Floyd Mayweather after knocking out 350-pound man Instagram/Loganpaul/floydmayweatherYouTube star Logan Paul says he wants to slap boxing champion Floyd Mayweather in the face as the rivalry between the two rages on long after their exhibition fight. In the months since the influencer collided with the 50-0 boxing superstar, Logan has alleged that Floyd has yet to pay him for their fight, and may even end up taking the professional boxer to court. While Mayweather has said that Logan should just be happy with the paycheck he received and that the payout could take time, others, such as younger brother Jake Paul, aren’t convinced and are demanding he pay up. Now, with Logan gears up to host the Slap Fighting Championship alongside movie icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, the YouTuber says he wants to slap Mayweather in the face. And going by Logan’s track record, Floyd may not want to let him. (segment begins at 46:48 for mobile users) Logan Paul wants to slap Floyd Mayweather more than anyone Speaking with Dexerto at a press conference, we asked Logan if could slap anyone in the face, whether it’s a YouTuber or an actor, who would it be and his response was immediate. “Floyd Mayweather!” he emphatically answered with a laugh. Given the recent drama between the boxer and influencer, it’s easy to see why ‘The Maverick’ would choose Floyd, but as it turns out, Logan has some serious slapping power. (segment begins at 14:04 for mobile users) Back in 2019, Logan was able to connect with a 350-pound man who was competing in a slap fighting contest. “I ended up slapping this 350lb guy, this slap master from the States,” he explained on MMA Hour. “I knocked him out cold, like cold, cold. Starched him to the point where after I hit him he didn’t even know who he was.” Seeing as Logan was able to knock a man that large out, it would be very interesting to see what would happen if he could hit Floyd with an open-handed slap. Slapping him with a lawsuit, however, could very well happen, especially if Logan and his team decide the situation warrants going to court over.

Logan Paul wants to fight NHL pro Evander Kane after challenging Jake – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants to fight NHL pro Evander Kane after challenging Jake YouTube/ImpaulsiveYouTube sensation Logan Paul responded to a boxing challenge NHL pro Evander Kane issued to his brother, Jake, during the Impaulsive podcast. Right after Jake scored a stunning knockout on former basketball player Nate Robinson, the San Jose Sharks left-winger sent a challenge Paul’s way, claiming he’s easy, get ‘wrecked.’ Now, one of the Paul brothers has seemingly accepted the challenge, but it wasn’t the one who Kane was expecting. “San Jose Sharks? What is that exactly? Some sort of fish or aquatic animal who lives in San Jose?” Logan joked and read Kane’s original tweet. (Segment begins at 33:28) View this post on Instagram “Put him on a list,” he remarked. “Does Jake Paul vs Evander Kane, is that a headline fight? How many buys does that get?” While Jake’s last fight was on the undercard for Mike Tyson’s boxing return against Roy Jones JR, some could argue that Paul stole the show with his huge knockout that went viral on social media. It’s unclear if Kane would have the same star power as Robinson. The podcast members agreed that the fight wouldn’t exactly be worthy of a headliner, but Logan Paul had an idea. “Or does he just do it because he will get another fantastic f**king knockout? Is he even active?” Logan asked, inquiring about if Kane was still playing in the NHL. “Okay, so when is he going to train boxing? We’ll go through it again. I’ll put a quarter-million down this time.” With Logan Paul down to step into the ring against Kane, all that was needed was a response by the forward, who wasted no time in accepting the invitation. In a short eight-second video tweet, the Sharks player accepted the challenge quite confidently. “Logan Paul, I’ll take the mop off your head and wipe the floor with you,” he said and proceeded to tag the YouTuber in the reply. It’s unclear when or if this fight actually goes down, especially with Kane being active in the NHL, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens. The NHL season is set to begin on January 1 at the earliest, but hopefully, the two can arrange for a fight in the following off-season.

Logan Paul wants to fight Paddy Pimblett on Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk UFC card – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants to fight Paddy Pimblett on Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk UFC card YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, Paddy the BaddyLogan Paul has officially called out Paddy Pimblett for his debut MMA fight, and wants to take the bout on the undercard for Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s possible UFC match. Logan Paul is one of the internet’s most famous influencer-boxers — although his record is, admittedly, not the most prolific out of his fellow content creators. Recently, Paul has stepped away from boxing to focus on his performance in the WWE… but he’s also expressed a desire to step into the octagon on a number of occasions in the past. In 2022, the YouTuber shocked fans by showing off footage of his mixed martial arts training sessions. Now, in 2023, he’s officially making callouts for his first UFC match. Logan Paul calls out Andrew Tate & wants fight with Paddy Pimblett In a July 4 episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Paul admitted that he’s been speaking with the “executives that be” about fighting on the undercard of the possible UFC match between tech CEOs Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. “I’ll be honest — I pitched it,” he admitted, speaking of the fight. “I pitched it internally. I pitched it to the executives that be. If Elon and Zuck fight, I wanna do my [UFC debut on that card].” “If Elon Musk and Eric Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard. For free, I’ll fight for free. For charity.” That’s not all; he’s already got an opponent on his list — British mixed martial artist Paddy Pimblett. “Who would you fight?” co-host Mike Majlak asked. “Anyone,” Logan answered. “You know who I wanna fight, actually? ‘Cause that b*tch-a** Andrew Tate won’t fight me? Give me Paddy Pimblett. Give me Paddy the Baddy.” (Topic begins at 7 minutes) This is far from the first time Pimblett’s name has been involved with the Paul brothers; in fact, Jake Paul faced off with the mixed martial artist late last year as fight rumors between the two rose to a fever pitch. Now, it’s looking like Logan might be the first Paul bro to take on Pimblett in the octagon — we’ll just have to wait and see if this bout actually comes to fruition.

Logan Paul wants to “break the simulation” by beating “greatest boxer” Mayweather – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants to “break the simulation” by beating “greatest boxer” Mayweather YouTube: SnoopDoggTV / Logan PaulLogan Paul and Floyd Mayweather came face-to-face at the weigh-in before their showdown, and he told the world he wants to “break the simulation” and beat the “greatest boxer” on the planet. It’s been a roller-coaster ride since the special exhibition boxing match between Logan and Floyd was first announced, but they’re finally all set to square off on June 6 now that the weigh-ins went off without a hitch. Logan was a whopping 34.5 pounds heavier, which is no surprise given his height advantage. However, he’ll need every pound he can get, given the discrepancy in their skill and experience. Still, in his final words before the showdown, he vowed to “break the simulation” and take down Floyd once and for all. Logan told the press that the fact he’s been given a chance to fight someone like Floyd proves that we’re living in a “simulation.” And if that’s true, then he plans on breaking it by taking him out. “None of it’s real. The aliens are coming in June,” he joked. “Just be ready. Tomorrow, I break the f**king simulation and beat the greatest boxer in the history of the planet.” Floyd’s parting words were a little more grounded. “Height don’t win fights,” he said. “Weight don’t win fights. Fighting wins fights, and at the end of the day, I can fight.” Logan is going into the fight as a +500 underdog. So, his attempts to “break the simulation” and defeat Floyd could take some doing. But after seeing Jake Paul defy the odds and knock out Ben Askren, it seems like anything is possible. Still, boxing is Floyd’s kingdom, and considering his legacy is on the line, he’ll be taking the fight very seriously.

Logan Paul Wants to Fight CM Punk and Possibly Conor McGregor in the UFC – Dexerto
Logan Paul Wants to Fight CM Punk and Possibly Conor McGregor in the UFC Logan Paul has his eyes set higher than YouTube boxing matches and would like to go against real UFC fighters in the future. He called on UFC president Dana White to find him an opponent, and even floated the names of CM Punk and Conor McGregor. In an impromptu interview conducted by TMZ at an airport in Los Angeles, Paul talked about his future fighting plans. I want to fight a UFC fighter, I want to fight in the Octagon… I’ve wrestled my whole life. Logan signed a two fight contract with KSI and will be unable to fight someone else until both are finished. He then listed off the names of some fighters he would be interested in. Logan: Dana White, you watching this, bro? Pick a fighter for me, late next year. Interviewer: Who would you want to fight? Logan: CM Punk Logan’s brother Jake was also on hand and had another, less realistic suggestion. The Pauls entertained the idea of UFC Champion Conor McGregor Jake: I think it would be dope to see one of us fight [Conor] McGregor Logan: That’s what I was thinking! The brothers did admit they are nowhere near ready to take on a professional fighter, much less a UFC champion Logan: I’m not going to lie, for either of us to even step into the Octagon, we have to prove ourselves first. Logan will have a chance to prove himself when he squares of against KSI on August 25. Jake Paul is fighting on the undercard against KSI’s brother Deji.

Logan Paul wants Kick contract after doubting xQc’s $100M deal was “real” – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants Kick contract after doubting xQc’s $100M deal was “real” YouTube/Twitch/xQcLogan Paul was left absolutely baffled after learning about Twitch star xQc’s massive $100M Kick streaming deal and is interested in getting an offer himself. Influencer Logan Paul is one of the internet’s kings of content. From fighting boxing legend Floyd Mayweather to becoming a WWE superstar, The Maverick is one of the hottest commodities on YouTube. That said, he’s yet to receive an offer to take his popular Impaulsive podcast to another platform, but after discussing Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel’s $100M deal, he has Kick on his radar. During his most recent episode, the crew debated if xQc’s big contract was legitimate with Logan expressing some doubts about how much the French Canadian was actually being paid. Logan Paul blown away by xQc’s whopping $100M Kick deal At first, Paul seemed unsure about the contract, asking “is that real” with an astonished look on his face. “I don’t believe it, I’m sorry. It’s too much money,” he said before rambling on about how xQc would lose a huge chunk of his money because of taxes. (segment begins at 29:28) Despite the original confusion, Logan came to grips with the contract being real after realizing that Kick was backed by gambling company Stake. Wasting no time, Paul proceeded to try to work in an offer. “Okay [Kick], you want the number one podcast in the world? Hit up manager Jeff and we can bring our booming audience over to ya’ll for $50 billion we’ll take it,” he joked. While the $50 billion price tag is certainly overkill, it would be interesting to see what kind of offer Kick might actually make to Logan Paul, especially if it’s a non-exclusivity deal. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Until then though, fans are anxiously waiting for the next big Kick signing with rumors pointing to the Twitch rival picking up the likes of Dr Disrespect.

Logan Paul wants to become “face of the WWE” after winning US title – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants to become “face of the WWE” after winning US title WWEInfluencer turned WWE Superstar Logan Paul has expressed his desire to become the new “face of the WWE” off the back of winning the United States Championship against Rey Mysterio at the recent Crown Jewel Pay-Per-View event. Logan Paul is one of the most well-known influencers in the world. Between selling over 1 billion bottles of Prime Hydration and now his recent win as the United States Champion in the WWE, Paul is riding a massive wave of success. At the most recent WWE Pay-Per-View event, Logan Paul defeated wrestling legend Rey Mysterio, winning his first-ever championship belt for the company. While the influencer has impressed fans and won them over thanks to his solid performances in the ring, his part-time status is something that still has WWE die-hards struggling to completely invest in Paul. However, following the biggest win of his WWE career, Paul has revealed that he is committed to his wrestling career and wants to become an even bigger presence in the company. During an interview with The Daily Mail, Paul expressed how “crazy” his life has become since joining the WWE. “I really don’t know how to comprehend what my life has become. I grew up in a city where things like this didn’t really happen. I believe in myself, I work my a** off, and next thing I know I’m fighting Rey Mysterio for the US championship and I won it.” He then went on to add that, “It feels amazing. I’m shocked and I want to stay humble but f*** that, it’s so much more fun to be arrogant about it! This [belt] ain’t leaving my side. This is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. I’m gonna take over this industry bro. I’m gonna be the best and I’ve got to keep working really hard.” Now that he is the United States Champion, Paul has his sights set on rising up the ranks even higher. “Something is so appetizing about the idea of doing the best I can in this industry and I know the best I can do is to become the face of the WWE, is to become the undisputed universal champion.” Time will tell what Paul’s next feud will be in the WWE and how he progresses moving forward for the remainder of the year and in the lead-up to the next WrestleMania.

Logan Paul wants Jake to fight Floyd Mayweather after rejecting Dubai rematch – Dexerto
Logan Paul wants Jake to fight Floyd Mayweather after rejecting Dubai rematch Amanda Westcott for SHOWTIME/Instagram/JakepaulLogan Paul is ruling out a possible rematch with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather over a lack of payment for their first bout, but wants ‘Money’ to fight his brother Jake instead. The Maverick has been very vocal about Floyd Mayweather not paying him for their 2021 exhibition bout for quite some time, even going as far as asking NFL star Antonio Brown to put in a word for him. In the seven months since their June bout that ended without a winner, Logan has jabbed at Mayweather, referring to the 50-0 champ as a “dirty little rat” for refusing to pay up. Now, Logan has revealed that he was originally offered a rematch against Mayweather in Dubai – something he turned down in an instant. Logan Paul declines Floyd Mayweather rematch According to The Mirror, Logan claims he was originally asked if he wanted to fight Floyd again, this time on the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai. “They asked me if I wanted to fight Floyd Mayweather again, Jeff did… one of Floyd’s guys. On top of that Burj Al Arab with that tennis court in February,” Paul revealed. However, he had no interest in partaking with the money issue from their first fight still haunting him. That said, he did have an interesting counter-offer up his sleeve. Will Jake Paul fight Floyd Mayweather? “I told him to f**k himself, first of all you have to pay me the rest of the money that you owe me. Second of all go f**k yourself, but what if I give it to Jake?” Logan recalled firing back. A potential fight between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather could be one for the ages, as both competitors are currently undefeated. Plus, the younger Paul brother has a history with Mayweather. Notably, The Problem Child stole Floyd’s hat during the build-up to his sibling’s fight and even reportedly sent a “disrespectful” DM to his girlfriend. While Jake himself has said he may not fight until the summer of 2022, Logan seems to have his next fight set, this time against Brazilian comedian and singer Whindersson. We’ll have to see if a fight between Jake and Mayweather even comes to fruition and if Logan ever actually ends up getting paid.

Logan Paul Vs Mayweather WON’T Happen | Influenced With Richard Lewis – Dexerto
Logan Paul Vs Mayweather WON’T Happen | Influenced With Richard Lewis In the second episode of ‘Influenced,’ Dexerto’s Richard Lewis and Mike Kent discuss the biggest stories from the world of online entertainment, including the potential Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight, Pokimane facing backlash for using VTuber, and more. Another crazy week of online entertainment news is in the books, perhaps none more so than the ever-growing rumors that YouTuber Logan Paul will be fighting superstar boxer Floyd Mayweather. However, despite the prospect of the fight picking up steam, Richard Lewis isn’t convinced it’ll happen: “There’s no way this fight’s going ahead, this is bulls**t. KSI called it out on Twitter, as well, saying it’s a lie, and I’ve got to agree with him.” Lewis’ point is that, even if this fight would be an exhibition match, the difference of the boxing skill between Mayweather and Paul is so immeasurably vast, that it wouldn’t make sense to even go ahead with it. In other news, popular Twitch streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys kicked off her return from a month-long hiatus by using VTuber (Virtual YouTuber), which displays an animated version of her on-screen instead of the usual face-cam. She’s gotten a lot of flak from fans and other VTube users over that decision, but Lewis isn’t among those offering criticisms: “I think she’s definitely done stuff where she’s worthy of criticism, but this isn’t one of them. If you’re in the entertainment business and you get the chance to be anonymous, I can understand that’s very tempting.” Make sure to watch and/or listen to the full second episode of Influenced above!

Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather will have no winners announced and fans are furious – Dexerto
Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather will have no winners announced and fans are furious ShowtimeYouTube star Logan Paul is set to face off against 50-0 boxing champ Floyd Mayweather on June 6 — but the fight’s rules state that their highly anticipated bout will have no official winner. Logan Paul has taken influencer boxing in an entirely new direction. While he helped pioneer the growing trend via his infamous rivalry with fellow YouTuber KSI, no one expected him to score a bout with the one and only Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. The news was first speculated, then officially revealed in Fall 2020, although no date was set for some time. While a date of February 20, 2021 was initially penned, their fight was delayed to June 6. While just about everyone is interested in tuning in to see how the eldest Paul brother holds up against one of boxing’s most prolific fighters, it seems that some of the hype surrounding the event has dwindled after the bout’s rules were revealed. The fight’s rules were released from the Florida Commission on June 2, and stated that the showdown will have no judges nor an official winner. Understandably, fans are disappointed, as viewers were hoping to see the winner recognized with the usual flair — but all hope might not be lost. Despite this being an exhibition match, knockouts are legal, and both fighters will go without headgear and will be using 12 oz gloves. The two will duke it out for eight 3-minute rounds — although the jury is out on if Paul can go the distance with Mayweather. Mayweather vs. Paul rules, per Florida commission: — No judges — No official winner read — Knockouts legal — KO up to ref discretion — No headgear — 12 oz. gloves — Eight 3-minute rounds— Marc Raimondi (@marcraimondi) June 2, 2021 Even Logan Paul himself isn’t a huge fan of these rules — but he seems pretty jazzed about the potential for a knockout. “12 oz gloves” BOOOO “no official winner” BOOOO “knockouts legal” FUCK YEAH— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) June 2, 2021 It’s clear from these rules that a knockout is expected, and expectations are highly divided among fans of Logan and Mayweather, alike. Much like Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr., it appears that a winner will have to be chosen by popular opinion… and considering Mayweather’s current grudge against Jake for stealing his hat, it looks like the champ will come out guns blazing. Fans can tune into Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather via Fanmio on Showtime PPV on June 6.

Logan Paul vs Mayweather gets personal as domestic abuse allegations fly at press conference – Dexerto
Logan Paul vs Mayweather gets personal as domestic abuse allegations fly at press conference Instagram: loganpaul, floydmayweatherDuring the face-to-face press conference ahead of their historic bout, YouTuber Logan Paul and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather got a bit personal when trying to get one up on the other. Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather is one of the most hotly-anticipated boxing matches of 2021, which is just about as bizarre as it sounds. The undefeated boxer will be putting his pride on the line on June 6 in an exhibition match against the divisive YouTube star, just weeks after the younger Paul brother, Jake, beat former UFC fighter Ben Askren. So, in their first face-to-face press conference, nobody was quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be absolute carnage, with Floyd and his crew allegedly hitting out at Logan’s brother Jake and having their own scuffle ahead of the fight. But things actually first got personal during the press conference, rather than in the confrontations following it, with both parties attacking some of their opponents’ biggest controversies. It all started with Floyd bringing up the very-well known Japan forest situation, which saw Logan become public enemy number one. “I know what he did to the country of Japan,” he said. “I know what you did to Japan, so guess what, you have to pay for what you did to Japan.” As the old saying goes, though, you shouldn’t throw stones in glass houses, and Logan hit back even harder. “I know what you did to your wife,” he said, with gasps of shock from the audience. “He’s 50-0? He’s not. He’s 51-1 because he beat his wife too.” Floyd Mayweather “I know what you did in Japan” Logan Paul “I know what you did to your wife” — Gifdsports (@gifdsports) May 6, 2021 The comment was made in relation to a series of domestic assault allegations made against Mayweather dating all the way back to 2002, against multiple women. He even spent two months in prison after pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery against the mother of his three children in 2010. Floyd appeared to try and gloss over the comment, but it had already left its mark, and many in the audience were stunned that it had even happened.

Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight date & PPV prices announced – Dexerto
Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight date & PPV prices announced Instagram: FanmioYouTube star Logan Paul and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather have officially revealed the date for their upcoming fight, which was long-speculated between the two giants but remained unconfirmed until recently. After facing off with fellow YouTuber KSI in the boxing ring twice, it seems that Logan Paul is taking his fighting skills to the next level by taking on the legendary undefeated professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather. The two hit it off on Twitter in a number of small spats, but nothing seemed to be confirmed, even after news outlets preemptively reported on the match. Now, the deal is finally on, and Dexerto has all the info you need to tune into this unprecedented event. When is Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather? Fear not, fans won’t have to wait long for this one. The Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather exhibition match is set for February 20, 2021, meaning that there’s only a little over two months for these fighters to prepare. View this post on Instagram Where to watch Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather While previous YouTube boxing fights went down on DAZN — as seen in the case of Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib and Logan Paul vs KSI 2 — Logan Paul’s bout with Floyd Mayweather will take place via Fanmio Boxing, an offshoot of the Fanmio streaming service. It’s also worth noting that the fight is currently listed as a “Super Exhibition.” The rules for this event have yet to be released, but it’s clear that this is not a proper “official” bout. How much will it cost to watch the Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight? Fanmio has already listed its prices for the pay-per-view event, with costs starting at $24.99. However, after 1 million PPV are sold, the price will jump up to $34.99. It’s better for viewers to get in early, while they can — after December 29, prices will hike up to $59.99, and increase on February 11 to $69.99. View this post on Instagram As previously mentioned, Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather have quite a history of trash-talking between them; in late November, Paul bragged that he could take out Mayweather in a street fight. Mayweather was quick to hit back in a pointed tweet, clearly hinting that Paul could get the work before he heads off to perform in Japan again. Only recently, Logan claimed that the reason the fight hadn’t been set in stone yet was that Floyd “can’t read” – just another in a long line of insults the pair have thrown at each other. These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games. 3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch. @loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again. — Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather) November 19, 2020 It seems that the time has finally come, leading to one of the biggest showdowns in YouTube boxing history. Who would have thought that a bitter rivalry between two of YouTube’s biggest stars would lead to this?

Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva more likely than ever after statement from Paul’s manager – Dexerto
Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva more likely than ever after statement from Paul’s manager YouTube: Logan Paul, UFC Ultimate Fighting ChampionshipAfter taking on Floyd Mayweather, YouTube star Logan Paul has seemingly set his sights on MMA legend Anderson Silva — and a bout between the two is looking more likely than ever before. In late June, former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva — who holds the world record for the longest UFC title reign at 2,457 days — mentioned in an interview with MMAJunkie that he’d like to fight one of the Paul brothers. “I respect both, and I respect the sport. I think everything’s possible. I think it’s the next fight may be with Logan Paul, maybe,” the fighter said. On July 20, nearly a month after Silva’s interview, DMs were leaked from MMA fighter Dillon Danis that claimed a “huge event” will be happening in Dubai on September 19, with the main card being Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva. Needless to say, fans lost their collective minds over the potential bout — but it might be more than a mere possibility. On July 22, Logan Paul’s manager, Jeff Levin, leaked some key details to ESPN regarding the possible matchup between one of the biggest influencer-boxers and one of MMA’s greatest legends of all time. According to Levin, the two are in talks for a possible fight later this year, which would match up with the September 19 date given by Danis’ DMs. Logan Paul and MMA veteran Anderson Silva are in talks for a boxing match, Paul’s manager, Jeff Levin, told @MikeCoppinger. There’s no determination yet on whether it’ll be a sanctioned fight or an exhibition. pic.twitter.com/4TKtILuNgs — ESPN Ringside (@ESPNRingside) July 22, 2021 That’s not all; Levin also disclosed that the team isn’t certain if Paul’s bout against Silva will be a sanctioned one, if it happens. “We just haven’t got there yet,” Levin said of the situation. Paul’s last match against 50-0 champ Floyd Mayweather was similarly an unsanctioned bout and was an 8-round, special exhibition match. While no winner was declared, many congratulated Paul for going the distance, while others noted a moment during the bout where it seemed Mayweather was holding up his opponent. While nothing is set in stone yet, it appears that Paul is more than hyped about the possibility, saying: “Growing up, I wanted to be Anderson Silva. …I want to fight like him and be famous like him, and now his goal is to fight me?”

Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva reportedly leaked for September 19 – Dexerto
Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva reportedly leaked for September 19 YouTube: imPaulsive, UFCLogan Paul is winding down from his June 6 boxing match against 50-0 champ Floyd Mayweather — but it looks like another massive fight might be on the horizon for the YouTube star. Logan Paul, along with little bro Jake Paul, are making huge waves in the world of influencer boxing. After popularizing the trend with fellow YouTuber KSI, Logan Paul shocked the world by scoring a bout with none other than Floyd Mayweather… but there could be yet another jaw-dropping matchup in store for him. On July 19, MMA fighter Dillon Danis leaked a direct message he’d received on Instagram from Jiu-Jitsu black belt Viktor Doria, which claimed that a “huge event” would be going down in Dubai on September 19. According to Doria, the event will feature none other than Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva — an MMA legend who holds the record for the longest title reign in UFC history of 2,457 days. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Doria gave Danis any more info on the potential bout… but it’s certainly set social media alight with speculation and excitement regarding yet another massive matchup for Logan Paul. View this post on Instagram This would mark the first time that Paul has fought against a mixed martial artist in the boxing ring for a professional bout, taking after his younger brother, Jake Paul, who notably took on former olympic MMA fighter Ben Askren in April. While Jake is now gearing up to face off against Tyron Woodley, another huge name in MMA and a five-time UFC Welterweight Champion, it seems that Paul could be taking a similar path — although it’s unclear if this proposed bout is actually the real deal. Neither Paul nor Silva have commented on the rumors at the time of writing.

Logan Paul video results in charges of “animal mistreatment” – Dexerto
Logan Paul video results in charges of “animal mistreatment” Logan Paul, YouTube / WeHeartItControversial YouTuber Logan Paul is back in the news for yet another scandal – this time, due to charges of “animal mistreatment,”after a tiger cub was used in one of his older videos. Paul uploaded a vlog on October 21, 2017, which featured his Insta-famous Pomeranian ‘Kong Da Savage’ meeting with a tiger cub. The video in question, titled “KONG MEETS A BABY TIGER! **Showdown**,” has since earned the cub’s owner charges of “animal mistreatment,” as reported by celebrity news website The Blast. According to The Blast, owner Nicholas Perkins was charged with a total of four criminal counts, as confirmed by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office. A search warrant was released on Perkin’s home following the video’s publication, which found “poor living conditions” for the cub – and even revealed that the tiger was allegedly being fed a replacement for kitten milk formula through a baby bottle, rather than receiving a proper diet. https://newsprintnow.net/opinion/2018/01/21/why-people-care-so-much-about-logan-paul/ Perkins could face a sentence of two years and six months in jail, if convicted. “My office will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to ensure these treasured creatures are safe, and [that] those who illegally keep them are held accountable,” City Attorney Mike Feuer told the Blast. While Logan Paul has yet to make a statement about the issue, he has since been revealed as one of YouTube’s most lucrative creators, landing in tenth place in Forbes’ top ten list of highest-earning stars on the video platform.

Logan Paul vows to beat Roman Reigns for WWE title after KOing Dillon Danis – Dexerto
Logan Paul vows to beat Roman Reigns for WWE title after KOing Dillon Danis WWE NetworkLogan Paul is promising to return to WWE after his highly-anticipated boxing match against Dillon Danis and wants to run it back against Roman Reigns. The WWE universe has fallen in love with Logan Paul’s in-ring ability and mic skills ever since his debut match at WrestleMania 38. In the time since, he’s bested many other superstars and had one hell of a championship match against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022, which he ultimately lost. However, The Maverick is already planning his return to the squared circle and wants a rematch against Roman in order to reach his ultimate goal: WWE gold. Logan Paul reveals plans for WWE return Roman Reigns rematch In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Logan explained that his match against Roman was his “proudest performance” in WWE and wants to get another chance at glory. “While I’m boxing now, my ultimate sights are on some WWE championships. Roman Reigns has them. I’m going to have to take them from him,” he said, referring to the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. According to Logan, he was excited to show Triple H and other executives what he could do and was really “overprepared” for the bout. “It paid off. I pray that it’s going to age nicely, and maybe Roman and I can run it back. He’s so, so good,” he explained. The YouTuber further added that he has his sights set on World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins as well, in addition to other superstars he didn’t name. “I’ve got a whole hit list of people I want to wrestle, and they’re both on it,” he noted. “After I do this boxing match and knock out Dillon Danis, I’m going to get right back into it.” We’ll have to see what WWE has planned for Logan when he returns and if he ends up being granted an opportunity to win a title in the months ahead.

Logan Paul urges Floyd Mayweather to finally pay him with next fight winnings – Dexerto
Logan Paul urges Floyd Mayweather to finally pay him with next fight winnings YouTube: impaulsiveLogan Paul has revealed he wants Floyd Mayweather to pay up for their exhibition that happened almost a year ago with the earnings he’ll make from his upcoming Don Moore fight. Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is set to be stepping back in the ring come May 14, in what will be the “world’s first-ever NFT pay-per-view event.” The upcoming clash against Don Moore, who holds an impressive 18-0-1 record, will also be held on a rooftop helipad and is sure to make the two fighters a good chunk of money. However, Logan Paul is expecting his fair share of the cut, as Mayweather is still yet to pay the YouTube star in full for their exhibition match that took place almost a year ago. The imPaulsive host shocked the world last June after he managed to go the distance against one of the best boxers of all time. However, since the fight, the popular YouTube creator has claimed Mayweather has no money as he’s still awaiting payment for the fight. His brother Jake Paul even added in a press conference that the situation has escalated into a lawsuit, as Logan is determined to get his hard-earned money. However, he’s been unsuccessful in his attempts to find out who really owes him. In a recent paparazzi interview, the 27-year-old was asked for his thoughts on Mayweather’s upcoming bout in the Middle East. “I think it’s great, maybe he can use some of his winnings to pay me,” said Logan. The YouTuber added that he hadn’t been “paid in full” but he is still “working on it.” It’s unclear just how much Paul is owed, though we can assume it’s pretty substantial based on the lengths he’s going to claim his hard-earned coin. However, it remains to be seen just if, or when, he’ll be able to close this chapter.

Logan Paul & various TikTok stars under fire for 6ix9ine collabs – Dexerto
Logan Paul & various TikTok stars under fire for 6ix9ine collabs YouTube: Thomas Petrou/Instagram: loganpaul[jwplayer 1JNGBvQE]A number of influencers, including Logan Paul and TikTok stars such as Tayler Holder and Olivia Ponton, have come under mass scrutiny for their recent video collaborations with controversial rapper 6ix9ine. With the release of his first album since being released from prison, TattleTales, 6ix9ine — otherwise known as Tekashi69 or his real name, Daniel Hernandez — has been doing what some are dubbing an “influencer press tour.” He has taken part in a funny prank video with the NELK Boys, been in multiple TikToks with the likes of the Hype House members, and was called out over his snitching by Logan Paul and Mike Majlak on the Impaulsive podcast. Since taking part in these videos, though, pretty much every influencer involved has been called out by fans and critics alike. Though NELK managed to avoid a lot of the criticism — perhaps because their demographic and expectations for their content is different — the rest have been catching serious heat. Popular internet commentator Def Noodles posted a bunch of screenshots from TikTok comments, after Tayler Holder was quoted as calling 6ix9ine “a really nice guy” following the rapper’s videos with him and his friends. Comments on TikTok from Hype House Stans who are in disbelief at Taylor Holder’s assessment of 6ix9ine. pic.twitter.com/lvAGKK6Tgs — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) September 9, 2020 They were also called out by popular commentary YouTuber Danny Gonzales, telling fans that “if you see influencers that you watch collabing with famous p***philes for views… they just care about that sweet, sweet cash.” hey if you see influencers that you watch collabing with famous pedophiles for views just know they don’t care about you they just care about that sweet sweet cash 🤡 https://t.co/MTgRgAu5U0 pic.twitter.com/bAVg5Qy0SG — Danny Gonzalez (@dannygonzalez) September 9, 2020 That wasn’t it, though: H3H3’s Ethan Klein also had something to say about the situation, questioning Logan Paul in the bluntest way possible. “Did you ask him why he f**ked a 13-year-old child?” the YouTuber asked, referencing a child sexual performance charge Hernandez faced in October 2015. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1303797674500476928?s=20 It goes without saying that many stars are facing serious backlash for welcoming 6ix9ine into their content, and some — such as the Hype House’s Olivia Ponton — have already deleted the videos they filmed with him as pressure piles on. Whether more creators try to disassociate with the shamed rapper remains to be seen.

While plenty of boxing analysts, fans, and fighters have dismissed what Jake Paul wants to do in the sport, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is aiming high and wants to be a world champion one day. To this point, the 24-year-old has yet to take on a ‘real’ boxer but has plenty of success in the ring against former MMA stars like Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. He is eager to fight a long-time boxer, though, and wants to take on the best of the best at some point. Mexican superstar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has been on Jake’s hitlist for quite some time, and after the pound for pound king lost to Dmitry Bivol on May 7, the social media star took it as a chance to call his shot and claim he holds advantages over the multi-time world champion. Canelo, who lost to the Russian superstar via a split decision, has already stated that it could be fun to fight Jake down the road – and even more enjoyable to win by knockout. With the loss likely disrupting the plans put in place for his next few fights, many want him to speed up the timeline and get to a fight between himself and Jake. That includes Jake’s brother Logan, who issued a simple message in the wake of Canelo’s stunning loss. “Alright Canelo time to fight Jake Paul,” he tweeted, with plenty of replies saying that they want the Mexican to “put Jake in his place” with a defeat. As noted, Jake has stated that he is eager to fight Canelo, but wants it to happen in three years’ time after he’s got a few more fights under his belt. At this point, it would be an almighty mismatch given that the Mexican is one of the greatest boxers in modern history, but it would be an intriguing spectacle for sure.

Logan Paul urges Deji to not repeat his mistake in Floyd Mayweather fight – Dexerto
Logan Paul urges Deji to not repeat his mistake in Floyd Mayweather fight YouTube: Logan Paul/Showtime SportsLogan Paul has urged Deji to not repeat his mistake of not being paid in full before fighting Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather after the Brit’s announcement shocked the internet. It’s been well over a year since Logan Paul and Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather faced off inside the boxing ring, but the drama has continued ever since. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has constantly reminded the boxing legend that he’s still owed a few million for taking part in the fight, suggesting that he might be owed as much as $5 million. Though, he has stated that he’s unsure if it’s Floyd or other parties that need to settle the debt. Despite that, Logan has threatened Floyd will legal action over it, and now that ‘Money’ is scheduled to fight fellow YouTuber Deji, Logan has urged the Brit to get paid in full before stepping into the ring. Logan Paul tells Deji to get paid upfront for Mayweather fight That’s right, if you’ve been away from the internet for a bit, you may have missed that Floyd and Deji are scheduled to fight in November. Given that Floyd is 50-0, and Deji has a 1-3 record, it’s certainly a mismatch. Though, like all of Floyd’s fights, it’s probably going to be very lucrative. So, instead of wasting a year trying to get paid, Logan had a simple message for Deji after the fight was confirmed. “Try to get paid upfront,” he tweeted, replying to the British YouTuber’s post. As is usual for fights, both boxers will get some sort of guaranteed down payment before they step in between the ropes, but this is usually a fraction of what they’re supposed to make. We’ll just have to wait and see if Deji finds himself in a similar predicament to Logan, but the American YouTuber won’t let the chance slip to take shots at Floyd.

Logan Paul under fire for “insensitive” coronavirus Instagram post – Dexerto
Logan Paul under fire for “insensitive” coronavirus Instagram post Instagram: loganpaulLogan Paul has come under fire once again after a photo posted to Instagram seemed to insensitively comment on the coronavirus epidemic currently plaguing China and the wider world. The coronavirus has already laid claim to at least 132 lives in China as well as almost 10,000 confirmed cases of the disease, according to the Chinese National Health Commission. The virus has spread to countless other countries across the world, including across Europe and in the USA, which has led to worldwide concern – as well as memes and jokes being made, as expected from the internet. Logan, though, had managed to stay out of controversy for a while, but an Instagram post published on January 28 has seen him put himself back into the limelight for the wrong reasons. The picture sees a topless Paul surrounded by Instagram models and adult film actress Riley Reid, on what appears to be a private jet, wearing gas masks and looking very comfortable in each other’s company. The caption for the post read a very simple “f**k the coronavirus” which, while a sentiment most probably agree with, was accused of being insensitive when paired with the image attached. What Paul thought was probably just a lighthearted post turned out to be actually quite the opposite, and the YouTube star has been slammed for it by fans and non-fans alike. Though there were some in the comments claiming the post was “hot” or laughing at it, several called Logan out on it. One commenter reminded him that “people are dying,” while another said it is “nothing to joke about” and that the star “never learns.” Logan has not yet commented on the backlash to his post, which remains on his Instagram. Though he likely had no malicious intent when posting originally, he may reconsider these types of social media posts in the future. Logan has clearly been trying to clean up his image since the now-infamous ‘suicide forest’ video, something he discussed when recording podcast episodes with Russell Brand in January 2020. Whether he takes this backlash as a learning experience – or even addresses it at all – remains to be seen.

Logan Paul unveils wild new ‘Best Friends’ web series – Dexerto
Logan Paul unveils wild new ‘Best Friends’ web series Logan Paul, Twitter – YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul is starting 2019 off with a bang, after revealing his upcoming documentary covering the ‘flat earth’ community and launching his new ‘imPaulsive’ podcast. Paul is now rolling out an entire web series, titled ‘Best Friends.’ The YouTuber uploaded a trailer for the series on January 31, which featured both Paul and internet comedian Evan ‘Dwarf Mamba’ Eckenrode of Vine fame. The trailer in question features a slew of hilarious hijinks, from the two demolishing a shack with a bulldozer, horseback riding in a corral, cross-dressing, and even being approached by law enforcement. The series is set to launch on February 5, 2019, with episodes airing every Tuesday thereafter. It is worth noting that Paul’s new series is not a YouTube Original; following Paul’s scandal in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest,’ his movie ‘The Thinning 2’ was postponed, and his appearance in show ‘Foursome’ was scrapped altogether. This isn’t the first project Paul has unleashed in recent months, either; the YouTuber likewise spilled the tea on his upcoming ‘flat earth’ documentary during a podcast on January 31, where he admitted that his appearance at the Flat Earth International Conference in 2018 was a mere stunt made as part of the film. Paul likewise made the jump into podcasts in recent months, launching his ‘imPaulsive’ show in mid-November of 2018. Paul also revealed that he has an animated series in the works, as well as a mysterious music career that he called “experimental.” Paul’s teaser for his ‘Best Friends’ series follows his “going gay” scandal in early January of 2019, where the YouTuber received widespread backlash for claiming that he would only date men for the entire month of March as part of his New Year’s resolution.

Logan Paul under fire for filming in bathroom following Dr Disrespect fiasco – Dexerto
Logan Paul under fire for filming in bathroom following Dr Disrespect fiasco Logan Paul Vlogs, YouTube / Dr Disrespect, TwitchPopular YouTuber Logan Paul is no stranger to controversy, following his debacle in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest’ from early 2018 – and now, he’s back at it again, this time pulling a Dr Disrespect and filming inside of a public bathroom. Paul uploaded a video to YouTube on July 2, where he showcased his new Maverick-brand “sprinter van,” which he claimed was worth $150,000. However, that wasn’t the only notable moment showcased in the video: Paul vlogged his flight to San Antonio, Texas, to pick up the vehicle, during which he made a pit stop to the bathroom. Rather than taking the piss in private, Paul decided to let his audience in on the experience, having an entire conversation with his cameraman while doing his business – and making sure that his private parts weren’t being filmed, at the same time. Paul and his crew weren’t the only people in the bathroom, however: several other bystanders can be seen using the facilities during Paul’s vlog, leading to some predictable concern from fans and critics, alike. [Timestamp: 0:40 for mobile viewers] “Careful with filming in the bathroom Logan, I need you more than Dr Disrespect,” one fan wrote.

Logan Paul under fire after featuring underage girl in Flat Earth mockumentary – Dexerto
Logan Paul under fire after featuring underage girl in Flat Earth mockumentary Logan Paul Vlogs, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul unveiled his anticipated Flat Earth ‘documentary’ on March 20. Now, he is under fire for the video – but not for duping his audience. Flat Earth International Conference organizer Robbie Davidson called out Paul in a Tweet on March 26, where he claimed that the YouTuber featured a 14-year-old girl in the video without her parents’ consent. “Looks like Logan Paul is surprised!” Robbie wrote in a reply to one of Paul’s posts. “Why? He put a 14 year old girl in his movie without her parents consent. …Parents’ lawsuits aren’t pretty!” Looks like @LoganPaul is surprised! Why? He put a 14 year old girl in his movie without her parents consent. Oooops. Parents lawsuits aren’t pretty! https://t.co/4Nqg0nWTaV — Robbie Davidson (@MrRobbieD) March 26, 2019 While it’s unclear which individual Davidson is referring to, Paul interviewed a series of elementary-school aged children about the Flat Earth theory for his ‘mockumentary,’ as well as a slew of Flat Earthers at the Conference – although the childrens’ lines were likely scripted, unlike those of their adult counterparts. While Paul has yet to address the claims, Davidson likewise announced an upcoming feature on ABC’s ‘Nightline’ discussing the YouTuber’s video at the Conference, claiming that Paul “exploited children” for his video. “Explain to me how Logan Paul can get away with exploiting children without proper legal consent for a prank?” Davidson wrote in a Facebook post. “What is YouTube doing about this?” Davidson likewise spoke out in a video about the issue prior to his latest callout, where he said that he’d been “punked” into consenting to Paul’s film. Despite Davidson’s claims that the underage girl required parental consent to appear in Paul’s ‘mockumentary,’ critics have since presented evidence to the contrary, noting that Colorado (where the Conference took place) is a single-party consent state in terms of film recording. the flat earthers have spoken :gasp: we’re gonna do a “tell all” video soon. y’all got any questions about the documentary you want answered? pic.twitter.com/r77B6AnNtg— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) March 23, 2019 According to Colorado criminal defense specialist H. Michael Steinberg, consent must be granted by “at least one party” in terms of recording or evesdropping on phone calls – so it looks like Paul’s film checks out, for now. https://www.hmichaelsteinberg.com/secretly-taping-recording-conversations-in-colorado.htmPaul himself claimed to be “going undercover” for the film to become “one with the Flat Earthers;” however, instead of a legitimate documentary on the community, Paul’s video played out more like a comedy sketch, duping those who anticipated his first debut into the field.

Logan Paul under fire for abortion comments at KSI press conference – Dexerto
Logan Paul under fire for abortion comments at KSI press conference TheBreadBatch, KSI – InstagramYouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI faced off for the second time ahead of their November 9 rematch in London, UK – but there was more to their press conference than mere insults, with some of Paul’s comments sparking outrage across the net. Unlike their conference in Los Angeles, California, the two YouTubers were bristling and raring to go in their meeting across the pond just weeks later. KSI went all out for the show, even carrying a fluffy Pomeranian pup on stage as a major jab to Logan Paul, who lost his own pup, “Kong,” to a coyote attack in early April. 500https://twitter.com/KSIOlajidebt/status/1181283280609595397?s=20However, KSI’s jokes about Paul’s dog aren’t what has the internet up in arms: rather, Paul’s comments on abortion have sent the net in a frenzy, with the YouTuber claiming that he would “kill” his opponent as a means of doling out justice for his alleged abortions. “I might kill this man,” Paul taunted. “Y’all may not know, but JJ’s on his fifth abortion. His fifth. That’s five babies dead. And I think Imma return the favor. And I might kill you, man.” (Timestamp: 13:13 for mobile viewers) Commenters across the net are speaking out against Paul’s statement, with many decrying the Maverick mogul for using such a sensitive issue as a means to “dunk” on his rival.

However, Logan isn’t the only one accusing JJ of fathering illegitimate children: his younger brother, Deji, likewise accused his older bro of multiple abortions during his stint on Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast in December 2018. While KSI has yet to speak out on Paul’s comments, in particular, it doesn’t look like the YouTuber is taking things to heart, as told in a good-humored Tweet to his rival shortly thereafter.

Logan Paul under fire as CryptoZoo victims reportedly offered 10% compensation – Dexerto
Logan Paul under fire as CryptoZoo victims reportedly offered 10% compensation Instagram: loganpaulLogan Paul is facing backlash after allegedly offering the victims of his cryptocurrency project, CryptoZoo, 5–10% of their losses. At the start of 2023, YouTube investigator ‘Coffeezilla‘ released a video claiming Logan Paul’s cryptocurrency-based blockchain project, CryptoZoo, was his “biggest scam.” As a result, Paul promised to spend $1.8 million out of his own pocket refunding investors. Nine months later, however, those who requested a refund are still waiting for their money to be returned. Now, YouTuber ‘Kavos‘ has taken to Twitter to give an alleged update on the situation and apparently, the long wait on refunds is because Paul’s “best offer was 5–10% of the losses suffered.” Kavos claimed he had acquired the information from “reliable sources”, calling Paul’s offer an “absolute disgrace”. “So when you hear Logan saying he’s trying to ‘rectify’ the situation. He’s really trying to get away with it for as little as possible,” Kavos wrote. “Before this ‘offer’, Logan and his team tried to get the case dismissed. There is absolutely no accountability or sympathy for his actions.” Many were outraged and perplexed by Paul’s alleged “offer”, with one person writing; “It makes no sense, Logan makes way more money than these crypto scams ever gain him. Maybe he just hates his fans and wants to screw them over, that’s the only logical reason.” However, some wanted to see Kavos’ “reliable sources” before making a judgment, and others stated the victims had dug their own graves; “The loss of money is on the people who fell for it.” Paul has not yet responded to these latest allegations, however, in late September, he stated that his silence was due to the “legal position” he was in. We’ll be sure to update you with any changes. In the meantime, check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Logan Paul claims he’s “turning into Thanos” in latest Challenger Games injury update – Dexerto
Logan Paul claims he’s “turning into Thanos” in latest Challenger Games injury update MarvelLogan Paul has given fans another graphic update on his hamstring injury, but not everyone is convinced that it is real after he compared his state to that of Thanos from Marvel’s Avengers. Prior to his Challenger Games event on July 27, the YouTube star revealed that he had picked up an injury and was not going to be at full strength to compete. Nevertheless, he soldiered on and tried to compete, but did even more damage to himself in the process. Before he could take on his fellow YouTubers in the first of a handful of 100m races, the popular internet personality hobbled out of the blocks with a hamstring injury. It obviously affected his performance throughout the day as he was caught struggling to move during a later relay race. He gave fans an update back on July 30 with an x-ray image but has since shared another – and it doesn’t look good. On August 1, the Impaulsive podcast host shared a video captioned: “pulls hamstring… turns into Thanos?”, with his fans via Twitter that gave them an update on his injury. With brother Jake behind the camera, Logan immediately asked how it looked because he couldn’t see for himself. “Oh God, oh that’s fucked bro,” Jake cried out, before trying to bring his reaction down a notch. “No, it looks fine – you can’t see it right? It looks good. It looks good, you’re fine.” pulls hamstring… turns into Thanos? pic.twitter.com/gg8JMVXaT1 — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) August 1, 2019 While the majority of fans shared their concern about how his leg looked, others couldn’t help but doubt the legitimacy of it. Amongst the number of fans claiming that it was make-up or paint, YouTuber Nudah chimed in, stating: “It looks like you colored your leg with sharpie then tried to wash it off, Jesus Christ.” it looks like u colored ur leg with sharpie then tried to wash it off jesus christ — nudah (@nudahwastaken) August 1, 2019 It’s not out of the question that Logan’s graphic injury update could be legitimate, however. Hematoma injuries – where blood has pooled outside of a blood vessel – can throw up similar colored bruising on the affected area. It remains to be seen if Logan injury is real or if it’s a part of some future YouTube video. One thing that is for certain, though, is that his fans will be hanging on every update.

Logan Paul turns down $1 million MMA fight offer from Wiz Khalifa – Dexerto
Logan Paul turns down $1 million MMA fight offer from Wiz Khalifa YouTube: imPaulsiveLogan Paul turned down Wiz Khalifa’s offer to join the MMA ranks of the PFL, where there is $1 million on the line, as the YouTuber says he’ll need “more than that.” When YouTuber boxing events exploded in popularity back in 2018, Logan Paul was right at the forefront of things. Even though he’s not been fighting as regularly as his brother Jake or business partner KSI, he’s still been dabbling in combat sports. The Maverick has impressed in his first year in the WWE, even getting a world title shot in Saudi Arabia back in early November. Though, he’s always been open to the idea of returning to his actual wrestling roots and getting involved with mixed martial arts. His dream of fighting in the UFC might be on ice after Dana White said he’s not considering matchmaking a fight for him at the minute, but there are other options. Though, Logan isn’t doing it cheaply. Wiz Khalifa offers Logan Paul $1 million for MMA deal Wiz Khalifa was a guest on episode 357 of imPaulsive when he floated the idea of Logan getting involved with the PFL – Professional Fight League – an MMA promotion that the rapper is involved with. “Come join the PFL! Come fight for $1 million dollars,” the Black and Yellow artist said, putting out a casual offer to Logan. However, the podcast host wasn’t biting. “I’m going to need more than that Wiz,” he quickly replied. “I’m going to need more than that!” Timestamp of 19:15 Unlike the UFC, the PFL operates on a seasons format, with the champions grabbing $1 million payouts when its all said and done. So, it would be some serious work for Logan to get that massive paycheque. It’s not the only offer he’s had to fight in MMA, though. Bellator have consistently said they’re open to the Paul’s being involved at some point, but who knows if they’ll ever take that offer up.

Logan Paul transforms into age-old ‘Emo Guy’ internet meme – Dexerto
Logan Paul transforms into age-old ‘Emo Guy’ internet meme cursededitsforu, Twitter / Logan Paul, YouTubeYouTuber Logan Paul may be known for his brawny muscles and blonde locs, but an age-old internet meme claiming to be the star shows him in a completely different light — and Paul has finally put the rumors to bed, once and for all. Almost all internet regulars have seen the viral photo of the emo enthusiast with a facial structure not unlike Logan Paul’s, boasting a head full of black hair, a nose piercing, and black eyeshadow. Although the look was popularly pinned on Paul for years due to their apparent similarities, the YouTuber denied that it was actually him in the photo — but rather than dispelling the rumors, he took things to the next level with a full-on emo makeover. That’s right: “The Maverick” actually decided to cosplay as the viral photo, donning a wig, foundation, eyeshadow, piercings and the entire nine yards in an attempt to recreate the meme. Of course, it wasn’t enough to merely do a side-by-side comparison; instead, Paul pranked his friends with his makeover, giving them quite a shock with his best heavy metal voice impression. “I finally know what it’s like to be that kid in high school that everyone just stares at,” he joked of his new look. The YouTuber and his squad even went to a nail salon to paint his nails black, where he fired off a few quips about his dark soul and bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders. That’s not all: Logan couldn’t be a true emo without, of course, hitting up a Hot Topic store. He completed his makeover with some gothic accessories set to My Chemical Romance’s ever-popular anthem ‘Welcome To The Black Parade.’ He later uploaded a photo of himself beside the internet meme that so many claimed was him, showing a distinct difference in their bone structure. Although it’s slightly disappointing that it wasn’t actually the YouTube star, Paul successfully proved that he was not the man in the viral meme — although he likewise showed that he’s not above poking fun at himself from time to time.

Logan Paul trashes house with crazy bungee jump trick – Dexerto
Logan Paul trashes house with crazy bungee jump trick Logan Paul (YouTube)YouTube star Logan Paul accidentally trashed his home after trying a new indoor bungee jump stunt in his latest vlog. Logan Paul has built a massive following of over 21 million subscribers on his channel and is known for his popular vlog series. Although many of the platform’s vloggers have stopped uploading during lockdown measures, Logan seems to show no sign of slowing down and has come up with unique ways to entertain viewers from his home. During his April 20 upload, the YouTuber revealed that his next grand idea was to set up bungee cords from the wooden ceiling beams in his own hallway. “Quarantine forced us to get more creative because we’re bored as sh*t,” he explained, “I’ve had these bungee cords for two years and never got to film a vlog with them so we’re going to put them on the ceiling and try to jump.” After scaling the beams from the top of his staircase and shuffling across a ladder at a considerable height, Logan surprisingly managed to set up a solid homemade bungee jump. Topic starts at 2:07 for mobile users. He quickly tested it out for himself after it was ready and revealed that he was thrilled with the results, “this is the best idea we’ve ever done on this channel.” After recording some unique basketball trickshots and flips, Logan accidentally crashed into one of his hanging lamps, smashing it into pieces with the back of his head. “Guys come on, I didn’t mean to,” he said, looking back at the damage he had caused. Despite his initial shock, he did not remain disappointed for too long and after Impaulsive co-host Mike Majlak suggested that they should “finish them off,” Logan and his housemates took turns in smashing the rest of the hanging lights. The YouTube star’s floor was left covered in ceramic shards and although they had to clean it all up shortly after, the group managed to see the bright side in the situation following Logan’s unfortunate crash, laughing it off and at least making some fun content out of it.

Logan Paul training for December boxing event after eyeing Dillon Danis bout Logan Paul has restarted his boxing training for a big return to the sport in December. Although his next opponent has yet to be announced, the YouTuber has been eyeing a date in the ring with Dillon Danis. The social media boxing craze has been missing one of its trailblazers in the past months, with Logan Paul taking a break from entering the squared circle in lieu of a brimming WWE career that’s just now taking off. But he hasn’t strayed too far away from his first love in action sports. Paul confirmed that he’s back on the grind to get in shape and ready for whoever he may face next. Although nothing’s been confirmed, it seems there’s one matchup that’s been getting a ton of traction, seeing as both fighters have been raring to go at each other. Logan Paul returns to boxing in December On August 4, Paul told Pat McAfee that he’s been getting back in the gym for his next event and came just short of revealing who he’s meeting in December. “I was sparring, I’m a boxer now, again,” Paul told McAfee. “We’re getting back in the ring. We’re going from professional sport to professional sport. I want to get a fight in December.” The YouTuber said “we’ll see” as to who he’ll be fighting next, and there’s been some activity when it comes to pro fighters who’ve been goading the older Paul brother. (Timestamp at 27:08 for mobile viewers) Dillon Danis and Logan have been chirping back-and-forth with one another, to the point where both personalities have been asking for a ‘contract’ from DAZN to get the show on the road. “He wanted it for years, now I’m healthy and ready to go. Just send me the contract,” Danis said. Both fighters are set to meet at KSI’s even against Alex Wassabi, where they could make sparks fly before an official match card announcement. We still have a ways to go until December, so we’ll have to see who Logan trades hands with in his upcoming return to the boxing circuit.

Logan Paul trains with WWE legend ahead of Crown Jewel main event – Dexerto
Logan Paul trains with WWE legend ahead of Crown Jewel main event WWEIn the lead up to his WWE main event title match at Crown Jewel, Logan Paul has been training with one of the company’s biggest legends: Shawn Michaels. Since joining the WWE, content creator turned performer Logan Paul has been making waves. After defeating The Miz at Summerslam, Paul quickly set his sights on the Universal Championship and the Big Dog himself, Roman Reigns. The match — which is currently set to be the main event of the upcoming PPV event — will be Paul’s first time challenging for a title. And while many WWE fans were confused as to why Paul was getting such a big title match so early in his WWE career, insiders reported there is a very specific reason for the decision. In preparation for the match, Paul is seemingly honing his craft from one of the greats in Shawn Michaels. A video of their training was posted on the WWE TikTok account and features Paul practising some flips off the top rope as well as some more basic wrestling moves and techniques. During the video, Paul expresses his excitement at being able to work with Michaels: “Today’s a big day, working with the legend himself Shawn Michaels,” Paul added he’s got “no time to be bad” while training with the Heartbreak Kid. Michaels offered up advice to Paul, expressing how being the underdog can be a big advantage, especially inside the squared circle. “Sometimes not being the sharpest knife in the draw is an advantage. That’s what makes you so powerful, you’ve got nothing to lose…He’s the one who has got all the pressure.” When speaking about the repercussions for Reigns if he does lose, Michaels says that if “he chokes, he’s done.” The WWE Universal Championship match between Logan Paul and Roman Reigns is set to take place at the upcoming PPV event Crown Jewel on November 5, 2022.

Logan Paul blasts Tommy Fury as he wants to “avenge” Jake’s loss – Dexerto
Logan Paul blasts Tommy Fury as he wants to “avenge” Jake’s loss YouTube: BS with Jake PaulLogan Paul has revealed that he’s eager to get revenge for Jake Paul and avenge his loss to Tommy Fury, should the YouTuber-turned-boxer not get his rematch. After years of trash-talking, both online and in person, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally settled their beef inside the boxing ring on February 26. It wasn’t the result that Jake had promised, though, as Fury claimed a split decision victory despite being knocked down towards the end of the fight. The Brit was ultimately comfortable on the two scorecards that scored in his favor, given he had been the more active fighter when it came to throwing punches and controlling the ring. There has already been plenty of talk about a rematch between the longtime rivals, but if that isn’t going to happen and Jake moves on to someone like KSI, Logan Paul wants to step in. Logan Paul wants to fight Tommy Fury to “avenge” Jake That’s right, his brother Logan is eager to avenge his defeat to Tommy and will end his break from boxing to make it happen.

That’s my little brother, f*ck that inflatable arm ass motherf*cker. F*ck you.” Timestamp of 18:00 The brothers did see the funny side of things as Jake joked that they could avenge each other’s losses should he decide to finally fight KSI instead. Jake did note that he is leaning towards doing a rematch with Tommy first, and both camps are seemingly open to making it happen. Though, it took this long to actually get them in the ring together, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Logan Paul trailer looks set to confirm he’s a Flat-Earther Logan Paul, YouTube – TwitterControversial YouTuber Logan Paul has been teasing his documentary over the Flat Earth theory for some time – and a new trailer for the doc could hint that he’s fallen into the Flat Earth fold. Paul uploaded a trailer for the documentary on March 10, where he appeared to legitimately question the Earth’s shape after attending the Flat Earth International Conference in Denver, Colorado. “It’s tough because you’ve been told something your whole life and you believe a certain way, right?” Paul asked in an emotional clip from the video. “…I just don’t know what to believe anymore.” The trailer likewise teased a deeper look into his short-lived relationship with Australian model Casey Boonstra, who sparked romance rumors after Paul was spotted holding hands with her at the Conference in November of 2018. Previous statements from Paul hint that his appearance at the Conference was an undercover operation, as told to YouTube production group ‘The Corridor Cast’ during a podcast in late January. “We joined their movement and picked their brains about why they think the earth is flat,” Paul said of the project. “Then, [we] came to conclusions of our own, which you’ll see in the documentary.” While Paul didn’t confirm his beliefs on the Flat Earth theory, he made sure to tease listeners with the possibility that he might ascribe to the movement – which has been further hinted at, thanks to his most recent trailer for the video. “You two could be sitting in front of a flat earther right now,” he continued. “Who knows?” Paul’s ‘THE FLAT EARTH: To The Edge And Back’ documentary is set to release on March 20, 2019.

Logan Paul tipped to be a success in UFC by star fighter Sean O’Malley – Dexerto
Logan Paul tipped to be a success in UFC by star fighter Sean O’Malley YouTube: imPaulsive/OpTic GamingUFC star ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley believes Logan Paul could be a success in the Octagon, but doubts he’ll get his wish in wanting to fight Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett. Just like his brother Jake, Logan Paul has proven that can turn his YouTube popularity into success in other fields. Despite losing to KSI in his first professional boxing match, Logan notoriously stuck in there with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather to earn a draw in their exhibition bout. Since then, the social media star has entered the world of WWE, appearing at two different WrestleMania events. His debut in the professional wrestling world has earned rave reviews, with the 27-year-old being tipped for a lengthy run inside the squared circle. He, admittedly though, has eyes on different things, and has suggested that he may tackle the world of MMA next – as he’d love to fight Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett at some point. While he might not get that, Logan is tipped for success in the cage. UFC Bantamweight star ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley touched on Logan’s desire to fight inside the cage during episode 59 of his BroMalley podcast, and he had high praise for the YouTuber. “Dude, Logan can f**king box and Logan he can wrestle, he really can f**king wrestle and box,” Sugar said. “It would be a matter of him just dedicating months to training.” O’Malley also touched on the recent idea of Logan and rising UFC star Paddy ‘The Baddy’ squaring off the Octagon, noting that he’s spoken to the YouTuber about it. “I told him, dude, Dana will never f**king do that,” he added. “Doesn’t matter how big of a fight that is, if Logan goes out there and beats Paddy, Paddy can’t be a star, he just can’t be.” Timestamp of 15:40 As others have noted, a fight between Logan and Paddy would be difficult to pull off, even at catchweight, given the natural size difference between the two. The door for the YouTuber to transition into the world of MMA has been open for a while, as the likes of Bellator have stated they’d welcome him and Jake with open arms. Though, it remains to be seen if it’ll ever happen.

The “cameraman” on my documentary crew that I attacked on Friday was an undercover corporate plant! I have footage indicating he worked WITH @WWE & the ref to cost me the match. I was set up.

As conspiracy allegations against WWE hotted up, Zayn publicly reached out to Paul on Twitter to see if the YouTuber would be able to give his opinion on the matter. After sending Logan raw footage from his documentary crew which he claims shows “just how bad WWE has it out for me,” the online personality indicated that he believed Sami’s claims: “You might be onto something.” yeah i checked it out. you might be on to something 😯 https://t.co/RtKm0L5mo1 — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) March 25, 2021 It remains to be seen whether Paul ends up getting physical in the ring or will remain solely as a “celebrity guest” for the red carpet premiere of the documentary trailer. WrestleMania 37 will be aired on April 10 and April 11 on Fox. The main show will likely begin around 7pm ET.

Logan Paul & Tim Dillon amazed with Joe Rogan for handling ‘pressure’ of JRE podcast – Dexerto
Logan Paul & Tim Dillon amazed with Joe Rogan for handling ‘pressure’ of JRE podcast Joe Rogan YouTube / IMPAULSIVE YouTube‘ImPaulsive’ host Logan Paul and comedian Tim Dillon recognized how social ‘pressure’ typically builds towards Joe Rogan for his massively popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience The social ‘pressure’ that builds before, or shortly after, a Joe Rogan Experience episode isn’t lost on ‘ImPaulsive’ host Logan Paul and comedian Tim Dillon. The two were impressed with how JR faces that on a daily basis. Joe Rogan tends to be a talking point that incites strong opinions, Dillon said. “I’m gonna drop dead on his advice, I love him to death, but –” Paul didn’t quite want to agree, instead giving Rogan props for holding things that he really stands for and seeing them through to the end, right or wrong. “There’s something about conviction, even if you know that someone is so wrong where you can respect their belief in what they’re saying.” As light-hearted banter goes, the two roasted the popular show host for some of the more questionable things he’s been heard saying or for lending his large platform to divisive people at times. Still, Rogan’s drive to open discussions to every form of thought, expression, or otherwise is something that the two admired. And millions of views pour in per episode, especially when cropped segments start to trend like wildfire. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast has built one of the largest following across its 1,775 episodes of its multiple series, including “the regular JRE podcasts, JRE MMA Shows, Fight Companions, Fight Recaps/Breakdowns, Podcasts on a Plane/In a Car/In Paradise/In a Hotel Room, Joe Rogan Questions Everything, etc.,” per the JRE Library’s count. “I don’t know how he does it, and for so long,” Paul said. Dillon quickly added, “It’s tough. He listens. He really listens, and he’s interested. He cares about stuff, he’s curious.” Spotify paid upwards of a million plus for the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and debuted exclusively on the platform starting September 2020.

Logan Paul, TimTheTatman, summit1g & more react to Jake Paul’s KO win over Ben Askren – Dexerto
Logan Paul, TimTheTatman, summit1g & more react to Jake Paul’s KO win over Ben Askren Triller Fight ClubSome of the streaming and gaming community’s biggest names – including TimTheTatman, summit1g, and others – weighed in on Jake Paul’s emphatic knockout win over Ben Askren, commenting on who the YouTuber should fight next and the glamorous event itself. There was significant interest in Jake Paul’s boxing match against ex-MMA fighter Ben Askren, with fans excited to see how the YouTuber would get on against someone with a fighting background. It turned out fairly similarly to Paul’s bout against ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, as the younger Paul brother ran out a comfortable winner and recorded a first-round knockout. The event itself generated a lot of conversation, with many commenting on the frequent musical interludes and bizarre interviews. Twitch powerhouse TimTheTatman likened himself to a clown for paying $50 to watch the event, before saying that Jake Paul continues to impress with another easy boxing victory. me paying $50 for this fight pic.twitter.com/pUQnTcLTmN — timthetatman👑 (@timthetatman) April 18, 2021 “Jake Paul out here shocking the world,” he tweeted. “Wow.” Many thought the bout against an ex-MMA fighter would signal the end of Jake’s boxing victories, but the YouTuber made light work of the 36 year old. He was joined in his reactions by Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar, who joked: “This concert sure could use some fights to help it out.” There was a slightly longer reaction on his Twitch broadcast, in which the streaming veteran said that Askren paid the price for not taking it seriously enough. He did compliment Jake though, saying he’s a “clean” boxer. British YouTuber Joe Weller, whose 2018 fight with KSI started the YouTube boxing phenomenon, suggested that KSI should face Jake Paul, describing it as the “fight that people want.” KSI, like Jake Paul, has impressed in his boxing matches, seeing off Jake’s older brother Logan across two close fights. KSI vs Jake Paul is the natural fight that people want – give them it 😴😴 — Joe Weller (@joe_weller_) April 18, 2021 Call of Duty YouTuber Syndicate echoed Weller’s comments, saying that the people have “summoned” KSI to fight Jake. It would certainly be a mouth-watering encounter. Jeeeezzzzzzz woke up to see Jake Paul KO’ing Ben Askrin.. @KSI you have been summoned by the people. DO IT. — Tom (@Syndicate) April 18, 2021 Jake’s older brother, Logan, set his sights slightly higher than KSI though. He sent a clip of the knockout to Floyd Mayweather, who he was scheduled to fight in an exhibition. That fight has been on hold for a few months, with Logan saying he could even beat the undefeated boxing legend. Given Paul’s success and his attitude towards boxing, we do expect to see him participate in more fights soon. Who his opponent will be, though, is the really interesting part. Just less of the bizarre musical interludes next time, please.

Logan Paul throws shade at Jake Paul & Tana Mongeau’s new romance – Dexerto
Logan Paul throws shade at Jake Paul & Tana Mongeau’s new romance Logan Paul, YouTube / Jake Paul, InstagramControversial YouTubers Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau have sparked a highly-publicized romance, following fan speculation that the two were secretly dating – but Jake’s older brother, Logan Paul, doesn’t seem to be a huge fan of their fast-paced relationship. Logan Paul published a Tweet on the subject on May 31, in response to his earlier statement on the matter where he seemed shocked that ‘Jana’ was progressing so quickly. “Bro, how you convince girl to begin dating, rebrand, start a family channel with rogue children, AND THEN become your social media account manager?” Paul initially wrote, followed by, “AND NOW SHE’S HIS EDITOR, HOW IS JAKE DOING THIS?” AND NOW SHE’S HIS EDITOR HOW IS JAKE DOING THIS https://t.co/7R7jVZcCNu — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) May 31, 2019 These are far from Logan’s only thoughts on his little brother’s relationship; he likewise commented on their romance during a vlog uploaded on May 21, where he hit framed photos of the couple with a baseball bat in order to make good use of the industrial sized oscillating fan he’d rented. “Ugh, kill me!” Paul said of the matter, feigning a gag reflex. “…sorry Jake and Tana, I really hope it works out, though.” “No you don’t,” his cameraman laughingly replied. “No, I don’t,” he confirmed. [Timestamp: 5:30 for mobile viewers] Logan even took shots at the couple’s fake “family channel,” jokingly accusing his little brother of “playing the system” by “stealing” two children for his video ideas. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you need a family to have a family channel?” Paul continued. “You can’t just take two people’s kids and get some thotty Instagram girl – sorry, Tana – and make it a family channel!” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVsN0zBwiL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkJake and Tana have since taken their relationship to the next level, getting matching tattoos to commemorate the amount of weeks they’ve been dating (seven in total, as of May 31). The two got together following mass speculation that they had been dating in secret, after Tana suffered an emotional split with ex-boyfriend and Justin Bieber lookalike Brad Sousa. Mongeau humorously “took over” Jake’s Twitter account shortly thereafter, prompting a hilarious series of Tweets that saw her kicked off the account after promoting her line of thong underwear. Tana is set to appear in her own MTV reality show, ‘Tana Turns 21,’ which has yet to receive an official release date as of the publication of this article.

Logan Paul threatens to cut off Jake Paul for bizarre reason – Dexerto
Logan Paul threatens to cut off Jake Paul for bizarre reason Logan Paul Vlogs, Jake Paul – YouTubeControversial YouTuber Jake Paul is set to throw a birthday party for American rapper Sidney ‘Desiigner’ Selby III – but the festivities could seriously hinder his relationship with his older brother, Logan Paul. Logan Paul posted a bleak message to his Instagram story on May 3, which appeared to hint that the party could make or break their bond as brothers. “Normally I support my brother in his endeavors, but this party tomorrow may be the end of everything,” he wrote, pasting plain white text against an all-black background. 600 Why could Jake Paul’s party be “the end of everything?” While Jake has yet to make an official response to Logan’s mysterious statement, he screenshotted the message and posted it to his own story shortly thereafter – making for some serious confusion amongst his fanbase. Logan himself appeared to encourage fans and friends to hit up the party on his Instagram story just before posting the warning, writing, “If you don’t go to Jake Paul and Desiigner’s party tomorrow, you’re a pussy.” 600 Jake’s birthday party for Desiigner is set to take place at the Team 10 mansion on May 4, with Jake even erecting a massive, inflatable panda on top of the home in reference to the rapper’s famous 2015 song, ‘Panda.’ Logan Paul vs Jake Paul: a history Despite Logan’s apparent warning about the festivities, this wouldn’t be the first time the brothers have feuded, by far; the two were involved in a heated feud in 2017, after Logan Paul appeared to “steal” Jake’s then-girlfriend, YouTuber Alissa Violet. This led to a major rift between the brothers, with Jake claiming that Alissa had “wanted to split Logan and I up” out of revenge for Jake’s alleged cheating. While the brothers have since made their peace, Logan hinted that they might throw down in the boxing ring after his rematch with KSI in November, stating that “no YouTuber worthy of fighting us is going to be good enough to be able to step in the ring and actually hold his own. So we might as well just do brother vs brother.” https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvudCqF2jT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkWith Desiigner’s birthday throwing down at 9 PM PST, there’s no telling what drama will ensue, should Paul’s statement prove true. UPDATE: It looks like Desiigner’s birthday bash went off without a hitch, thanks to Jake Paul’s flawless party planning. From dirt bike stunts to backyard boxing and more, the Team 10 mansion saw celebrity guests like Chris Brown and a packed living room full of fans. 600 As for Logan Paul, the two brothers appear to be on good terms, with Paul uploading a video to his Instagram story with the caption, “Fuckin’ Jake Paul really did it,” while his brother sprayed champagne in celebration.

Logan Paul threatens Paddy Pimblett over “lies” in PRIME video – Dexerto
Logan Paul threatens Paddy Pimblett over “lies” in PRIME video YouTube: imPaulsiveLogan Paul hit out at Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett after the UFC star made a video about PRIME that had some “misinformation” in it. When Logan Paul and KSI kickstarted their PRIME Hydration brand back in January of 2022, they probably didn’t expect to achieve the success they already have. The energy drinks have launched across the United States and in the UK, but it’s pretty difficult to get your hands on them in the UK still. On top of that, they’ve also inked a sponsorship deal with Arsenal, and you rarely see either Logan or KSI without one when they appear in content. Naturally, there have been a few challengers to their success, including a new one from UFC’s Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett – who Logan has been in a war of words with over the last few months. Logan Paul blasts Paddy Pimblett’s “lies” over PRIME video The Scouser is an ambassador for a drink that claims to have zero grams of sugar and fewer calories than PRIME, which is something he displayed in a video comparing the two. It got on Logan’s radar for episode 356 of his imPaulsive podcast and he wasn’t best pleased. “It’s a pretty f**king embarrassing video. You are now associated with a cheap, s*it, copycat beverage brand. It looks almost identical to PRIME,” Logan said, noting that Paddy’s video is “identical” to the ones he used to make. “He lied in the video. He poured out sugar in the video to show PRIME’s two grams of sugar and he poured a f*ck load of it. I could technically sue the f*ck out of you for that misinformation and that’s a fact – you f*cking lied,” he added. Timestamp of 1:35:00 Logan did say, however, that it was actually a good bit of promotion for PRIME, as believes it will just make people want to buy his drink even more. “I left a comment and said thanks for the promo,” he quipped before quickly moving on. The ‘Maverick’ did say that he’s a fan of the UFC star, so who knows if it’ll end up as a legal case, but he believes he’d have grounds to do so.

Logan Paul threatened by former NFL star Antonio Brown as beef reignites – Dexerto
Logan Paul threatened by former NFL star Antonio Brown as beef reignites YouTube: FLAGRANTFormer NFL star Antonio Brown threatened Logan Paul while live on stream, turning down the idea of a fight with him as he says he could have the YouTube star killed. Over the years, Logan Paul has gotten into a number of beefs with different athletes and personalities. As he’s stepped up his efforts in the boxing world, this has led to rumors about fights as well. He’s not fought many of his rivals in the ring – Dillon Danis and KSI, at that time, are the only two – but there was a period where it seemed like he might fight Antonio Brown. Logan had even made a diss track on the former NFL star receiver back in 2020, which has gotten over 25m views. With Brown falling out of the NFL and Logan focusing on things away from YouTube, their beef had gone a little dormant. However, the former Oakland Raiders wideout has now reignited it with some threats. Antonio Brown threatens Logan Paul as he reignites beef Brown, 35, appeared with KICK streamer Jack Doherty during his November 6 stream, with Doherty bringing up the rivalry with Logan. That set Brown off. “Logan, send me my royalty check bro,” the former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver said after being asked about the diss track. However, from there, things took a turn. Brown was then asked if he’d get into the ring with Logan for a boxing match. “I don’t get in the ring. My boy will kill him. We don’t box, we just beat the box. My boy’ll shoot him for me. If it’s smoke, we just get rid of them,” he added. Many viewers were left baffled by the clip, with some just mocking Brown’s threat. “Those dudes are about as hard as yogurt,” said one. “Basically, he’s a coward,” another said. “I don’t like Logan but AB needs to be arrested for saying that,” added another. The YouTuber-turned-wrestler hasn’t addressed the threats and it remains to be seen if he will. Though, he’s probably a bit more focused on his WWE career now that he’s picked up his first championship.

Logan Paul threatened with “acid and knives” during UK press conference – Dexerto
Logan Paul threatened with “acid and knives” during UK press conference @loganpaul (Instagram)/FreepikThe KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 UK press conference took place on October 7, and saw the two fighters lock horns on British soil for the last time before the bout — but Logan’s trip across the pond was not well received by some. With the highly anticipated rematch between Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul mere weeks away, tensions are building. After two press conferences on each of their respective home turfs, the tone for the fight is set. Both fighters took verbal jabs at one another during the UK press conference, with the verbal slews toing and froing in a bid to jeer the crowd. However, the welcoming that Logan received upon his arrival to the UK was not as welcoming as he might have hoped. During a vlog uploaded on October 12, Logan highlighted a warning that he received from social media, which stated: “Mike, be safe, there’s an organized group in London that wants to stab you and pour acid on Logan.” Logan jokingly replied: “Y’all can stab Mike, just keep the acid off me” in response to the caution sent out to Logan and his team. 600 Of course, security at the event was ramped up to avoid the prospect of any harm coming to either fighter, rendering any threats of this nature idle. Paul also took to his social media to provide a disclaimer against any form of organized crime that specifically targets him or that might subject his team to any harm, stating, somewhat mockingly, that: “Crime is bad.” headed to london today. remember: 1.) keep the acid off me 2.) if you’re gonna stab someone, stab mike (but pls avoid major arteries) 3.) crime is bad 4.) jj has no dick— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) October 6, 2019 Thankfull, the UK press conference has come and gone, without any physical harm coming to Logan or his team. Nonetheless, threats of such magnitude can never be taken lightly — especially when the stakes and exposure from the event itself is so high.

Logan Paul explains why third KSI fight may never happen now – Dexerto
Logan Paul explains why third KSI fight may never happen now Instagram: Logan PaulLogan Paul revealed that the rumored third fight between him and KSI might never happen now, explaining that he likes his former rival “a lot” and has great camaraderie with him. Logan Paul and KSI used to be bitter rivals. It all started when the two squared off in the boxing ring for the first time in August 2018, which ended in a draw. This led to diss tracks, chaotic press conferences, and eventually, a rematch. KSI won the rematch via split decision. However, that still wasn’t enough for them to bury the hatchet. It happened much later in 2021 when the two joined each other secret project. KSI also appeared on Paul’s Impaulsive Podcast. Things took an interesting turn once again in January 2022. Their relationship went from cordial to a full-blown business partnership after joining forces and launching a new sports drink. It sold out in mere hours. Paul talked about their rapport in a YouTube video on January 9. In addition to praising his former rival, he also indirectly explained why the third fight between them might never happen — because they actually like each other. “After the podcast with JJ, the content was so rich,” said Paul. “We realized that we f**k with each other. I like the kid a lot.” He explained that the two of them have had “parallel careers” for pretty much their entire lives. For that reason, he believes it was “inevitable” that they’d cross paths at some point – and now it’s taken a positive turn. “I think we’re at that intersection right now in a positive way, you know?” he explained. “Not beating the sh*t out of each other, which we’ve done twice now on two separate occasions. This time we’re going to come together.” Paul admitted that the way things panned out between them is “funny”. He also praised KSI for being so “charismatic” and joked that he’s doing an excellent job of “carrying” their new brand. It will be interesting to see what projects and business endeavors the dynamic duo will come up with next — right now, the world is truly their oyster.
