Coffeezilla has made a name for himself exposing crypto and NFT practices by some of the top influencers in the world, including the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul, and others. He even made a YouTube Rewind for 2021, but filled with all of the alleged scams he reported on throughout the year. Tran is a YouTuber with almost 1.5m subscribers, in which most of his videos are calling out \u201cevil\u201d corporations and industries, such as tobacco and Nestle. In one of his latest videos, Coffeezilla called out Jake Tran for accepting sponsorships and advertising them in a similar fashion to the businesses he reports against, or hyping up NFT projects that saw huge dips in value. Coffeezilla\u2019s initial video, which has amassed almost 1m views in the 10 days since its release date at the time of writing, spurred a response from Tran. A few days later, Tran posted a statement, insisting that he had nothing to apologize for. \u201cI put my heart and soul into making free premium videos,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery sponsor on this channel helps fund this channel so we can keep upping the quality and quantity. You\u2019re not gonna be the right fit for every sponsor on this channel \u2013 and that\u2019s okay. So if you don\u2019t like the sponsors, skip the ads, don\u2019t buy from them, or unsubscribe from the channel, and let the people who are a right fit for the sponsor use them.\u201d He ended the statement simply by saying \u201cI apologize for nothing.\u201d Coffee stated in a following tweet that an NFT project Tran promoted made around $1m before prices tumbled by around 80%. While Tran insists that his viewers don\u2019t have to buy anything that he promotes or spend their own money, Coffee claimed that the exact same could be said for all of the companies Tran calls out, but whether they ever see eye-to-eye on the issue is unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Tran \u201capologizes for nothing\u201d after being called out over sponsors by Coffeezilla Instagram: jaketran\/YouTube: CoffeezillaJake Tran has doubled down on his decisions and claims he \u201capologizes for nothing\u201d after being called out by popular internet crypto sleuth Coffeezilla.
